Best treatment for wrinkles around mouth after Ulthera treatment?

There is no one treatment that can do everything (but we keep hoping!)Ultherapy can produce some improvement in lip wrinkles but there are usually more elements at work than it may seem. (Ultherapy is a wonderful treatment for lifting and tightening the underchin and neck area - which is where it shines brightest)Wrinkles can come from:collagen loss, which is typical in aging for most peopleelastin and collagen breakdown from sun exposure weight loss that obscured existing collagen loss support loss from the shrinkage of boneand/or habitual muscle contraction in natural speech smoking - which creates all kinds of havoc with all the skin on your face and body.A lot of women tend to purse their lips when they speak and it's a hard thing to change. (Some people avoid drinking from straws to avoid pursing their lips!).Lasers, specific skin care products, retin-a type prescription creams, fillers and good internal hydration can all be part of the fix. Old school full CO2 lasers could virtually wipe out lip wrinkles, but the recovery was horrible and the skin would lose pigment and take on a wax-like appearance. That wasn't always a good exchange for losing the wrinkles. The newer fractional lasers like Fraxel and eMatrix can improve wrinkles, but sometimes there is no effective way to get rid of them completely.

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.

Ulthera is used to improve skin laxity and is not meant to be a wrinkle repair. If you are looking to treat wrinkles I would suggest either fillers or laser.
