Jason Emer, MD · Answer

​Fillers such as Restylane Silk, Belotero, or Juvederm can work well to treat lines around the mouth, but the best first option is laser resurfacing or deep peels to induce collagen production. Superficial radiofrequency devices and microneedling can help as well and are less invasive. I suggest going to an experienced cosmetic dermatologist with expertise in lasers and fillers.

Thanks for your query.Exilis, thermage, fillers works best for fine lines above the lips. Dermapen will also give you results but they are not satisfactory. You should go in with any option mentioned above. Deep peels also play a role in fine lines but they come with a downtime and the exact procedure suitable for you can be assessed only after physical examination.All The Best

Thank you for your question prust. Wrinkles around the mouth are a common concern. These wrinkles can be addressed with multiple modalities and a combination of therapies often works best. Botox can relax the muscle around the lips to soften the lines. Fillers such as Juvederm can restore volume loss. Fractional laser resurfacing, radiofrequency, and ultrasound (Ultherapy) can stimulate collagen formation to tighten the skin. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

The video link will discuss the pros and cons of treating lip lines and wrinkles. If severe, and if you would like a great result with one session, laser resurfacing can help. It also depends on your skin type and downtime. Mild case of wrinkles can improve with energy based Dermapen such as INFINI RF combined with PRP. This treatment has a quicker recovery than later resurfacing. See a specialist who can perform all these procedures and understand your end goals. All the best, Dr Davin LimLaser and aesthetic dermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
