What is the Best Treatment for Lip Lines, or Lipstick Lines? (photo)

In general, this can be a challenging problem to permanently fix. Lip lines like you are concerned about are the rule in Denver given the dry climate and intense sun exposure so I deal with this often. Temporary options include hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm or Belotero to fill the fine lines as well as Botox to selectively relax the muscle that creates and accordion effect and deepens the line. Fillers last about 12 months and Botox in this area lasts 2-3 months typically. The best long-term option is dermabrasion or aggressive laser resurfacing of this area. This creates about one week of downtime and some redness that can last several weeks to a couple of months. However, the results are long-lasting. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACS

Dear jlsedor,


A little bit of Juvederm along the vermillion will help those lines out

You can balance it with some in the body of the lips as well

It is very difficult to completely get rid of those lines, and they will definitely be improved

I would suggest covering your face when you tan, it will age you very quickly
