BOTOX for lip wrinkles- this is a commonly requested procedure, however it is very important to select the correct type of wrinkles for Botox. Wrinkles can be classed as dynamic- such as when you animate your lip, - actions such as pursing or kissing. These upper lip wrinkles can be seen only with muscle movement. Botox and fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm can improve and prevent theses wrinkles and upper lip lines.

If wrinkles on the upper lip are static, this means that they are present at rest. Botox in this instance has little impact- especially for deep lines. Fillers can help reduce the look and depth of these type of wrinkles.

Static wrinkling can be treated with lasers or with microneedling radiofrequency (INFINI), as well as fractional lasers such as Fraxel. Lasers resurfacing has a longer heal time compared to skin needling- energy microneedling, however the results of lasers such as erbium and fractional CO2- FRAXEL are generally better. I reserve fully ablative lasers for very deep sun damaged lips, and severe lip wrinkles. Most often I use a combination of lasers and fillers for the best results.

In summary, Botox can be used to treat and prevent wrinkles present on your upper lip with movement- dynamic wrinkles. Some patients mayl have transient muscle weakness of the upper lip for just a few days. Botox last up to 3-4 months in this area.
