[@japandi7098]

I can't thank you enough for the insightful video! I wanted to share a personal experience regarding red light therapy for anyone on the fence about it. At 46, I've been using a red light therapy panel from Future Form Official, which my dermatologist recommended for my skin's complexion and wrinkles. The panel is incredibly affordable, and the results have been outstanding. My skin's texture has improved dramatically, and I've noticed a significant reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Interestingly, people often mistake me for being much younger now! There’s a lot of scientific research backing red light therapy, so it's not just a trend. Thank you again for your valuable content, it really helps make informed skincare decisions!

[@cindywharton5558]

I really don't think anything will help apart from filler. It's just part of the ageing process and I've finally learned to accept it

[@jyn88]

I agree. It's mostly genetics too I think.

[@shellyhm2477]

I’m finding acceptance to be the best, most reasonable and certainly most cost effective course of action. Then again, I’m willing to try anything! 😂😂😂🤷🏼‍♀️

[@fayedietrich7313]

Agree

[@rickyhank118]

How come men don't seem to get them?

[@Sharperthanu1]

Microneedling and microstamping plus no sun exposure on your face and neck will get rid of your vertical lip lines.They are not "just part of the aging proces." They are caused totally by sun exposure.Humans were meant meant to be a nocturnal species because lions hunt in the daytime.

[@womanofacertainage5892]

Thank you for saying "accepting them is an option and that's beautiful too." I'm in my late 50s and I have never smoked, don't drink any alcohol, eat well, sleep well, etc. Yet I still have these lip lines just from moving my mouth, talking, drinking from a glass, etc. When I smile you can't see them - so I'll smile more. :). But I don't love them -- I'm working on truly loving my aging, lined face -- sure beats always looking in the mirror and beating yourself up for no longer being 30 or for not getting Botox, fillers, etc. (I have no interest in injecting stuff into my face or having surgert, so that is out for me.). I just do Retin-A and good skin care and try to smile and laugh as much as possible.

[@Ellie.12866]

Try this - Buy a teeth whitening kit with a rubber mouth piece that goes up over the gums of your front teeth. Wear the mouth piece for 15-30 minutes a day. Your lines will go away. It's cheap And it really works. I'm a long time smoker and as long as I do this a couple times a week, I have no lines.

[@jessicablum4096]

Same story for me. I'm 60 and have bad smoker lines. I've smoked and used straws occasionly

[@daniellemcdx]

Couldn't agree more about Microneedling. during the years I have tried almost everything to look younger, anything from face exercises, vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight). However, nothing made any real difference compared to the high-quality derma pen I purchased for under 100 bucks. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. I don't look like I'm in my 20s again, but definitely not 48 either. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less prominent. People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin.

[@Sorabin]

Could you tell us which derma pen brand please ? thanks for this comment by the way!

[@daniellemcdx]

Korabeauticals v2

[@ashulka]

+1 for kora, I am using the device for about 2.5 years now. Nobody believe I am 55. They all say I am in my 30's or early 40's. As you know, as we get old, our skin gets thinner therefore creating wrinkles. But the wounding kept my skin still thick and youthful. that's at least why I think it works so well

[@daniellemcdx]

I am glad to hear it is working for you as well :)

[@davidmegino]

I am a man in his mid 30, i started microneedling my scalp since I was suffering from AGA, after it helped (a lot), I started to go over my face. I swear that 90% of my lines just disappeared completely. Thanks to dr.Amir I gained a lot of knowledge and started to use sun screen and eating healthy. What mm are you using for your face?

[@heidikamrath1951]

I’m a dentist. Just this week my study club viewed a lecture originally given at the 2022 American Academy of Periodontology Annual Meeting. [Drs Rebecca Bockow (dual trained Perio-ortho) and Michael Gunson (Oral surgeon)]. Soft tissue, compensatory habits, and breathing patterns influence skeletal growth. My field is Endodontics (root canals), so this didn’t apply to me on a professional level, really, but on a day-to-day personal level it sure does! I know several people who, due to orthognathic reasons, are mouth breathers and the lip incompetency forces them to try to close the lips all day long, resulting in lip line wrinkles. My biggest takeaway: if you hear your baby/child snoring or notice mouth breathing, have him/her checked right away. Arch expanders can be used to allow room for the tongue to lie flat against the roof of the mouth and may never need braces or surgery down the road.

[@DebraCole-dr5fy]

Thank you for this advice. I am a mouth breather. This is probably what is wrong with my lips and my teeth which are getting brittle and cracking. Well, I am 70 and wish I had known all this years ago.

I would love to see a video on micro needling! Who else better teach than a dermatologist! I’m excited to try the cream for the lip lines. Mine aren’t too bad so I may have caught it just in time! Anything you want to share with us would be appreciated since some are things we’ve never heard of or thought they had to be done in office (micro needling). You explain everything so well and I feel comfortable trying things you recommend. I’ll be on the look out for new videos!

Microneedling is one of the best treatment for lip lines. Regularly done both medical and cosmetic needling has dramatically improved mine. Takes time and consistency coupled with great ingredients. LED I haven’t found change specifically in lip lines

[@RitaVernoy]

Please show us the micro stamping technique😊.

[@Maria-eh7cx]

I would love for you to make a video on micro stamping. That would be so helpful!

[@shellyhm2477]

Hi Doc, I’d be interested in a video demonstration of the micro infusion … thingy. Also, looking forward to your nails tutorial. Mine really need help! Have a great weekend 😊

[@lynnwhite1053]

Hello… I just happened to run across your post and it was right up my alley so I watched it❤ I’m 56 (soon to be 57😢) and the vertical lip lines is something I’m very subconscious about on myself (although all my friends that I talk to about it says they don’t see any lines, but I do🤷‍♀️). I’ve been very conscious about my skincare most of my adult life… always loved the whole routine of taking care of my skin❤ anyway, as I’ve gotten older I’ve noticed those pesky lines and have even tried some of your suggestions to keep them from getting more severe (I guess I’ve done a pretty good job😂). I do have a scar from a car accident many years ago and it’s vertical and looks like a lip line… but, it’s not. I’ve thought about fillers the most lately to see if it helps ME stop feeling so self conscious about them. Thank you for this video… it’s the first one I’ve ever seen about this subject and I’ve been a subscriber of KZbin for 10 years!!!! I’ve tried the Dermelect lip line treatment (the professional one) but, didn’t see a huge difference… and the QUE version of the micro infusion serum stamper and that made my eyes water it was so uncomfortable so quit using that!! I use a derma-roller around my face 3x a week and just concentrate it around my mouth instead. I guess the less severe your lines are, the less you’re going to notice a marked difference when using these products🤷‍♀️

[@KayMN.]

Yes I would like to see that Quere product explained and shown in a video.

[@bernadettemcisaac4126]

Try castor oil. Must be consistent. I apply every night before bed. Once a week I use surgical tape over the castor oil on upper lip overnight. It has produced amazing results for me and ashamed to say I smoked for many years. I also use vitamin C serum in am and retinol at night. Castor Oil is Wonderful. Be consistent

[@alisaharwood7077]

Thank you glycolic acid works good too

[@Katepwe]

Truthfully, it’s likely the tretinoin more than anything else.

[@ptowey5298]

Would love a demo video of queen micro infusion stamp/ micro needling vials, thanks. New here and very interested.

[@theworldofjuniperthecat1307]

Filler helped me.

[@selectiveoutrage6617]

The Nira Pro laser has made a difference so far. Only been using it two months but the lines have softened. I have used my Omnilux red ight mask and various serums for years. It's a combo of things and you have to be patient and CONSISTENT. Be mindful of how you are creating those lines. I had a bad habit of pursing my lips so am very conscious of not doing that now. I don't drink from a straw either.

[@tm5346]

Can you do a demo of micro stamping? I would greatly appreciate to see how you do it as a dermatologist!

[@strudel4527]

I use tretinoin around mouth every other night. To prevent peeling, the night I don't use tretinoin, I apply a thin layer of Aquafor and it goes well. Last week I bought the Currentbody LED lip perfector, use it 3 minutes a day. Can't wait to see the results.

[@ptowey5298]

Can you recommend toner, essence balance ph and prep for absorbution

[@shanhare76]

Is that the best LED mask you would recommend? There are so many available I've been trying to do my research... I wonder why though all of them spare the mouth and eye area where we need it most!

[@christined2495]

OMG thank you, I bought the Dermlect lip filler three weeks ago, using it everyday and I noticed my lip lines are gone ❤ I will say as soon as I noticed these lip lines I ordered this The red light for lips, if I am taking HCTZ ( photosensitive) med can I use this ? I want to buy it

[@vetsai8199]

I suspect you’re right. My last-ditch effort is the microneedling. I’ve tried hyaluronic acid fillers without luck, though-I simply absorbed them, even after three tries. Even four tries with lasers didn’t work!

[@vetsai8199]

Actually what I meant was micro-coming, where they remove a little tissue with a hollow needle. May have to do it 2-3 times, though.

[@skincare8193]

Never heard of these products !

[@CarolJoyable]

I bought her recommended lip smoother by Dermelect ($59)..does NOT get rid of them! And mine are few and very light YET visible with any foundation on. I’ve used it twice a day for just over a month. It feels nice and absorbs easily BUT at 5 weeks with regular use..no line elimination. Will I continue use? Probably. But I think using any good moisturizer would work.

[@Adeledoublel]

Thank you for the above ! I’ve just saved myself the time & money x

[@Ellie.12866]

Buy yourself a teeth whitening kit with the rubber mouth piece that goes high and covers your top front gums. Wear the mouth piece for 15-30 minutes a day. I have been smoking for 40+ years and got rid of mine this way. You will see a difference after the first time you do it. You're welcome 😁

[@ninayoung8240]

I used it for over 6 months. No change. I use Adipeau cream recommended by Art of Skin care. I see a definite softening of lines.

Is there an alternative for the Dermelect lip product with good amount of peptides? I can’t buy it in Europe…. 😢

[@skyhopper3933]

I was rewatching your video from yesterday and came across this video. I’m only 49. I do most of what you’ve mentioned for my lip lines. I haven’t tried lasers yet. Do you think the Nira lazer would be effective for lip lines? I am very consistent with my at home treatments. I love the results but can’t always afford them. So, I try to save the cost of the in office treatment. Also, I dermaroll ( with real needles,not the fake stuff) once a week. What product line would be safe to use after dermarollig? I currently do not use any products after per not knowing what’s product line is SAFE after.

[@melaniewagner5248]

Yes, Demo Qure please!

[@alisaharwood7077]

What actually WORKS BEST is it a quality pen which one??? And for eye area ALSO

[@ElizabethM824]

Do you have an opinion about the Nira laser device for home use? I see they have a new one that is larger and takes less time to treat an area. Also, I have a red light mask but I have been considering buying a red light wall panel because it can be used to treat many areas of the body and is not just limited to just the face like the mask. I would love to see a video about red light wall panels and your take on them for home use. Thanks so much for all the great info!

[@beyond50skin]

I love Dermelect’s lip & neck products. Results are subtle but improved 💋😊. I also am finding great benefit from their nail products because of the peptides in there. Every time they start to snap off I put this on & my nails slowly improve 💅.. I did have laser because my lip lines were really bothering me. However I do have some hypo-pigmentation after the procedure which kind of comes and goes. Derms & patients don’t talk a lot about the side of hypo-pigmentation after ablative laser, especially if you’re fair, skinned. I still keep up with diligent skincare in this area to prevent the return of the dreaded lip lines.😮

I’m trying to figure out at what point in my skincare and make up I would apply the dermalect lip cream. Does it go on after make up is complete? It seems like if you applied it anytime before that, you would just be distributing it all around your face, which is not what we want. Hope someone can answer. The very first time I tried it, it did make a difference. I like it.

[@carrielundy2145]

Now I’m not a health professional or anything, just a regular person, but I’d say YES if you’re not already and if your doc agrees. You could get a multivitamin and most have B-complex (assortment of B vitamins that should ideally be taken in certain proportions) or a regular (not high dose) B-complex supplement. Your doc could recommend one but they’re sold everywhere. Just don’t take it too soon before bed because it might keep you awake. Also, warning: when you tinkle, it will be neon yellow, so don’t freak out! 😂 I hope this helps your lips- that can be so painful!
