Fractora on upper lip to treat hyperpigmentation?

Question

My technician wants to try fractora on my upper lip to treat hyperpigmentation. I have gone 3 times for a chemical peel to treat the area and it has faded but there isn’t a major difference. I just have concerns about the Fractora treatment on my upper lip. She said it is one of the most painful areas but my concern is with regards to the device penetrating my lips or vermillion border. I don’t have a large area above my lip, so there isn’t much space. I also worry about my gums/ teeth.

​Hyperpigmentation of any kind needs a combination approach of peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly,; lasers like Clear + Brilliant, Aerolase or Laser Genesis; radiofrequency like Venus Viva; and constant skin care and sun protection. Bimonthly facials with SilkPeel DermalInfusion are essential to hydrate, exfoliate and infuse vitamins and antioxidants into the skin. If you have acne you can do additional treatments and peels to get more improvement. Hypopigmentation will need more of an evaluation and possibly additional lasers to get improvement. I suggest a formal consultation with an expert in lasers and peels. Best, Dr. Emer.​
