What can I do? I want the winkles above my upper lip to be filled.
Answer: A combination of CO2 laser and Melapeel can help treat deep wrinkles around the mouth. Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Lines in the upper lips... Thank you very much for this question.You can consider a small particle dermal filler like Belotero or Restylane Silk. Other fillers with larger particles may cause too much lumpiness. For best results, you should also consider skin resurfacing of the upper lips with microneedling, chemical peels, and lasers.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

Answer: Improving LIp Lines with Botox/Xeomin/Dysport, Fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Volbella), PDO Nova threads, implants fat You would get a nice improvement with lip fillers and/or Botox. These fillers, (Volbella, Restylane, Juvederm) are good to create a full and symmetrical lip. Nova threads can be used to improve lift and shape. Implants or fat are alternatives. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert to go over your desired results. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Treating Vertical Lines Thank you for your question. Vertical lines can be treated in several ways. If the lines are present at rest they can carefully be injected with a dermal filler such as Restylane or Juvederm and typically these fillers last between 6-12 months. If the lines are present with movement than Botox may be an option. I recommend having a consultation with an expert injector to determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!
