Answer: Lip lines and microneedling with PRP Hello and thank you for your question. I would recommend a consultation with a board certified provider. It is important to have a consultation to better understand your options and the outcome. Lip lines can be difficult to erase, however, there are some combination treatments that we offer giving our patients excellent results. I would start with a medical grade skin care line, we recommend Skin Medica. This in combination treatment with ultherapy perioral, microneedling with PRP and ResurFx can truly help to erase a portion of these lip lines without any filler or neurotoxins. I hope this information helps you and best of luck!

Answer: How to fix smoker lip lines at 52 yo without fillers or botox?? Ask Dr Ellen about PRP and resurfacing Keep in mind that lip lines are a multi faceted problem:1. volume loss of deep soft tissue2. muscle animation3 brittle skin4. resorption of bony structuresThe best result in treatment are achieved by address each of these problems. In the absence of fillers and Botox, your best approach is to go with resurfacing the skin to make it more supple and soft and to build in some regenerative capacity with PRP by injecting it into the deep tissue as well as from the surface with microneedling. This will stimulate growth of fat, elastin, collagen and extracellular matrix, as well as hylaluronic acid. Other surface treatments that are cost effective and clinically successful are microdermabrasion with a chemical peel.Good luck!Ellen Mahony, MD

Answer: PRP for lip lines Hi and thank you for your question. Our office is having a great deal of success with PRP. "Platelet Rich Plasma". PRP can be prepared to resemble a filler by utilizing a heat machine. We use Dr PRP machine that changes the consistency of the PRP. When placed into the lips you can see the vomlumization and softening of the vertical lines. The beauty of this technique is that it is YOUR products that we inject into your tissues. No foreign substances. Good luck to you should you choose to pursue this treatment.

Answer: Best way to get rid of lines above lip without fillers or Botox To improve the "smokers lines" or barcode lines, lasers, Infini, and microneedling are effective. Keep in mind that these lines are difficult to eradicate, so set your goals on improvements. Often the problem is caused by volume loss so these do need volume replacement in most cases. Fat can be transferred to this area for a longer lasting/natural improvement. Nanofat seems to give the best results for this. I would expect minimal improvements using the Vampire Facial for this area.
