How can I treat the lines above my lip?

Q.
I have lines above my top lip. How much approx would it cost to have these treated and how long would the effects last? Also I have nasolabial lines. Are dermal fillers the answer & are they painful at all? Around the eye area for fine lines what would the recommended treatment be? Are dermal fillers preferable to having Botox? Going back to the lines above my upper lip, would treatment cause my lip to ‘plump up’, as I do not want this
A.
Hi
It depends on the cause of the lines and whether you feel any volume or definition of the lip is needed. You can use dermal fillers or Botox for these. Naso-labial lines need volume so either we use dermal fillers here or in the cheeks above to ‘raise’ the area and reduce these lines. For fine lines around the eyes we usually suggest Botox for these.
Most dermal fillers now have some local anaesthetic in them and aren’t painful to be placed.
Prices depend on the product to be used, correction required and experience of the clinician, but can start from £150/£200 upwards. I would recommend a consultation to discuss your options
Good luck
