I have included of a photo of the facial area that I want to address. I am a 71 yrs. I have used filler, Sculptra and other fillers in that area. Four yrs ago,I had short scar surgery Good results but now, I'm dealing with this issue again. I have botox every 3 months, include my upper lip area. I had a Juliet laser treatment,3 mo. ago, for skin health. No other wrinkles. Medical grade facial products. Threading? Micro-channeling? Surgery? Best option?

Answer: Lower face and mouth wrinkles These type of wrinkles and skin texture problems around the mouth are very common. This is a skin resurfacing problem. Depending on several factors, your best treatment options include medium and deep chemical peels and lasers. I find that an ablative CO2 laser works the best for perioral resurfacing.

Answer: Deep laser resurfacing for mouth lines. Hello Sasha. None of the modalities you have mentioned is specifically designed for treating fine lines and wrinkles on the surface like a deep full field resurfacing is (see link with photos). We suggest a deep full field (not fractional), CO2 or Erbium resurfacing. In our practice this procedure has about 2 weeks of recovery time but does an excellent job of collagen remodeling for the area around the mouth. Best of luck.

Answer: Chemical peel, fat grafting augmented with PRP Based on the photo, the main issue here is superficial loss of collagen and elastin which is creating the peri-oral wrinkling. This is compounded by the subtle loss of fat volume around the mouth. The ideal solution would be combination treatment: 1. Chemical peel (or laser resurfacing) to create superficial collagen/elastin to help the fine lines/wrinkles. 2. Fat grafting to help deeper volumization of the perioral area. 3. PRP- this can be used in combination with the fat grafting to help better survival of the fat and topically to help facilitate skin healing after the chemical peel (or laser resurfacing) Good luck
