Question:

I’m starting to see fine vertical lines above my upper lip and little cracks in the corners. Can you make them go away?

Answer:

I most commonly treat these lines around the lips and mouth with an injectable filler.  This usually lasts 10-12 months, although some studies suggest that fillers stimulate new collagen formation and can provide a longer result.  It takes approximately 5-10 minutes in the office setting.  For deeper lines of the lips and face, sometimes dermabrasion or laser resurfacing is the better option.
