What are all the options to help diminish “smoker lines”? I also have an old scar on my top lip from a car accident 27 years ago and a newer scar from a grand mal seizure 2 years ago. I had a head on collision and my head went thru the windshield and cut my upper lip. Can’t see it that much when I have make-up on. I also have a scar below my lower lip. I had a grand mal seizure a 2 years ago and I bit right through my skin. Again, make-up helps. Options for scars and vertical lines.
Answer: Options to diminish smoker/lip lines and small scars Thank you for your question! Fine lines above the lip can happen over time due to genetics, repetitive movements, etc. Neuromodulator treatments (such as Botox), dermal filler treatments, or microneedling are commonly used treatments in this area.

Answer: Treatment options for smoker's lines and scar improvement You have many options. For the vertical/smoker's lines, a little botox can help, but if the lines are present at rest, I'd definitely add a filler. Laser resurfacing (e.g. ProFractional laser, etc) can also be quite helpful and would help the scars around your mouth. Microneedling +/- platelet rich plasma (PRP) can also help. For stubborn scars, sometimes just cutting them out (surgical scar revision) is not a bad idea. Best to chat with and get properly assessed by a highly trained and experienced physician such as a dermatologist to optimize results and safety.
