Can Halo laser be done only around the lip area to treat verticle lines?

The Halo laser is great. It can improve skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles but it does struggle to improve lip lines, especially if they are deep. If you have fine lip lines, then the Halo is worth the try. It may take two or three treatments to give you the result you desire, but the downtime is minimal so its worth it. If you have deep lines, then a deep erbium laser treatment is really the only way to improve / eliminate them. See someone with extensive experience as this treatment is pretty aggressive and causes a significant amount of downtime. The results are definitely worth it though.

As you can see, the treatment of lip lines requires some deep resurfacing and CO2 is fine, however the setting have to be adequate. The advantage for using Erbium is that there is less heat generated with deep treatments and a higher density of treatment area can be performed during treatments, so its usually the best one for this. There is down time associated with these treatments so do plan accordingly.

we do a combination of lasers, fillers, and botox for this area. you need aggressive treatment to ensure best results here. we start with more aggressive like co2 first then maintain with halo/moxie and fractora. fillers can be used simultaneously. at home peels should be done between.

Please post some photos. Need to evaluate skin color and degree of wrinkles prior to final recommendation. I love Sciton’s Halo, in fact we were one of the sites that helped develop it. Its not the best device for lip lines - that award goes to the Sciton TRL - a full field erbium laser. You need nerve/dental blocks if the lines are deep. Numbing cream will not be effective enough.
