I’m getting vertical lines above my lip (I’ve never smoked). Is there anything I can do to stop it from getting worse?
You won’t want to stop talking and kissing, so luckily there are ways to rehydrate the area and soften the lines.
Belotero Soft is a light dermal filler that is injected along the lip line and spread under the nose area to the lips using a cannula; the product contains a numbing agent, so the process is only slightly painful. It provides a minuscule amount of volume (also in the upper lip) that smoothes the area without inflating it. It turns back the clock a few years.
Alternatively, Belotero Revive is an injectable liquid “skin booster” that intensely hydrates the area and can soften pigmentation. It does not add volume (nor does it add a numbing agent, but it can be administered separately).
Cosmetic doctor Dr Sarah Tonks (thelovelyclinic.co.uk) charges £595 per Belotero Soft treatment and £695 per Revive treatment. Results last around six months.
