Can anything smooth my lip creases WITHOUT filler? (Photos)

Question

Context: I’m a 25 year old. I have extremely deep creases on my lips (in spite of being hydrated, and using humectants & locking them in with occlusives on my lips). The deepest creases I have are along my bottom lip. The ONLY thing I want to change about my lips is smoothing these creases (not changing the shape, color, or size of my lips). I do not want to use any kind of filler. Is there any documented or case of treating lip creases without filler by a physician?

Yes, there are non-filler options to improve the appearance of deep lip creases—especially in a young patient like yourself who is already practicing excellent hydration and barrier support. While dermal fillers are the most immediate solution for smoothing creases, there are several physician-guided, evidence-based alternatives that may help over time:

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

Every individual has these vertical lines on their lips. In some people they’re more obvious and in others not so much, but all people still have them even patients with fillers in their lipshave them.
The easiest thing you can do is use some kind of a gentle lip plumper, which makes your lips swell a tiny bit and at the same time use lipstick or gloss

I don’t think you’re going to find a treatment that gives you the results you want without having some intervention.
Maybe someone else will have a better recommendation.
Fillers, if you’re willing to try them, may give some improvement, but these lines may still persist.
