Ask Dr. Schultz
Is there a way to get rid of or disguise the lines around the lips?
There are two approaches to treating lines around the lips: temporary treatments (which last three to six months) with Botox and filler injections, or permanent improvement with ablative (in the base case one treatment) or non-ablative (two-to-five treatments) lasers. You can get names of physicians from the Botox website (e.g., http://www.botoxcosmetic.com/tools/find_botox_doctor/find_a_botox_doctor.aspx) and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery website (http://www.asds.net/).
Unfortunately, I am not aware of any topical products that make a meaningful difference.
