Wrinkles above lips are also known as lip lines, lipstick lines, or smoker’s lines. These are the verticals lines formed on the lips or above the lips. They are lighter in starting but after some time they start to become darker. Wrinkles are good, as they come with age and there is nothing wrong with that. The reason for which we get the lips wrinkles first is that we have soft skin near the lips area. The skin structure, volume, etc decrease over the time period. Lips wrinkles give a sunken appearance to the face.
If we talk about the treatment, we usually hear about eye wrinkles treatments where some types of creams are available in the market. But for the lips wrinkles, it is rarely talked about. But, now we have so many treatments for lips wrinkles also.

Fillers
One of the common solutions for wrinkles is fillers. Fillers are the injections that are given to wrinkles. These fillers are filled with hyaluronic acid which is natural to our body cells.
Wrinkles around your lip area, superficially injected fillers will plump up the skin and fill the wrinkles without adding a bulky, unnatural look. The amount of fillers varies from person to person which is decided by the dermatologist.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser is used for many skin treatments, one of those is wrinkles. The process of Laser treatment works when the continuous light beams or energy vaporize the skin’s thin, outer layer. Its results in collagen (abundant protein in the human body) production which results in younger, smoother, and softer skin.
There are different types of laser treatment that have different prices. So, you have to consult your dermatologist.
Serum
Here the serum is based on collagen where collagen is an abundant protein in the human body. Collagen is something like hyaluronic acid which our body produces less as we get older. It is one of the most important proteins for healthy skin as well as to expel wrinkles and dryness.
Collagen plays an important role in maintaining our connective tissues and muscles which helps in boosting skin and making it elastic and hydrated. To keep your wrinkles away, try a night serum that is rich and abundant. Apply it every night after cleansing and toning your skin which gives you a good result and reduces the wrinkles.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a beauty procedure. It will work by triggering the skin. In this process skin with ultra-fine wrinkles does produce new collagen. It has small needles which are used to prick the skin with a device which is called a derma roller or microneedling pen.
As we know it is a professional treatment so you have to consult a dermatologist. It takes multiple sessions to give a better result.
