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! 😂😂😂🤷🏼♀️
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.
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 surgery, 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.
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.
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.
+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
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?
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!
I agree. I purchased a tanning bed, replaced tanning bulbs for red light. I lay in it 3 times a week. It also helps with muscle soreness after hard workouts. I love it.
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.
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.
Root canals are toxic. All of mine later got infected, and I was horrified when they pulled those rotting teeth out of me. WHY would anyone leave a dead rotting tooth inside them? Wish I knew then what I know now.
Thank you for posting this! I’m 62 and I’ve often wondered if being a mouth breather was a huge contributor to my vertical lip lines, not to mention other factors such as total hysterectomy at 32, very thin lips all of my life, and a grandmother who was extremely wrinkled at 62 with never having smoked, drank or anything else that is believed to advance aging. (Hereditary) nothing I’ve tried works at all and many are mentioned here. Wish they didn’t bother me so much but they depress me greatly. I do not care whatsoever about what others think but I care very much about how this makes me feel inside.. I feel like I’m in my 30’s so it’s so disheartening to see an ugly reminder that I’m not every time I look into a mirror.
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 RUclips 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🤷♀️
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 😁
I use The Ordinary matryxl 300 and the argiryline. They are less than 10.00 each. I also started Derma-E eye lifting treatment and use it around my lips and eyes, and other wrinkles. Definitely helping, but probably never going to completely disappear. I’m 61, don’t look my age and would like to keep it that way. Lol
Yes, when I use my Retin-A around my mouth, I get stinging, redness and peeling, no matter how infrequently I use it. Will try that product you recommend, thanks.
Please do a micro needling video with a pen or something affordable for home use. Thank you for your advice, I appreciate your videos so much!! I would like to see a video with those stamps that you are showing in the video too!!!
Dr. M...Can we please have an updated best facial moisturizer video? My skin is so dry with the arrival of snow and constant blowing heat again. Please please!
Thank you Dr for sharing your knowledge. I am fair skined and have had skin cancer on other parts of my body . Is the LED light safe to use on my face ?
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.😮
My 87 year old mum started to get the "bar codes" as she calls them about a year ago, she treats the area with massages and exercise and says that it's working 😊
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
NOTHING has worked for my smoker lines at 67. I quit smoking 35 years ago and I cannot get rid of this dang lines. I don’t want any Botox or fillers. HELP
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!
I would say a couple of weeks. But I think even just the first use you could see a subtle difference. Definitely a faster result as far as your lips themselves go but the vertical lines that took a little bit longer. But definitely something that I really love. I also have his mask for the full face and that has completely changedmy face.
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
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 😊
Id love a video on micro stamping / microneedling. I have a microneedling device which i purchased recently, ive used it once and my skin looks great! Also growth factors? Id love your opinion on these, thanks!
I bought a teeth whitening kit with a rubber tray that goes over my front teeth and up onto my gums. I wear it while I put my makeup on. It kind of pushes my upper lip out, stretching the lines away. The lines are gone. The cost of the kit was prob half the price of a tube of one of these creams.
@@sherryundertheblood7577 Yes. And your upper lip feels a tiny bit puffed out. It looks sooo much better. Try it. Do it again when you see the lines reappearing. It's every 2-3 days for me.
Thank you so much for all your helpful advice. The corners of my mouth get extremely dry and cracked. Do you have any suggestions for products that would help?
Hi, you didn’t ask me, but cracked corners of the mouth usually indicate a deficiency in the B vitamins. Are you taking a good multivitamin and/or B complex daily? Sorry to butt in. 😊
@@carrielundy2145 You're not butting in at all. I appreciate the advice. I have just recently started taking B-12. Should I be taking another B vitamin also?
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!
I've tried too many products that youtubers push already and none of them work. I'm hesitant to purchase anything recommended on this site. I will stick to Botox every 3 months and my Coolia sunscreen for lips. Hopefully, they are working on something that lasts longer around the mouth area soon.
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
Does the micro stamper help only by helping serum absorption or does it also help by the stamper alone by creating micro pokes that cause collagen to rush and repair?
It does both. You can go deeper ( up to 1mm) to cause collagen to be produced which should be done very 4 to 6 weeks, and dont use any serums or lotions with active ingredients until 5-7 days after. You can also do a cosmetic needling ( about .25mm) and follow with serums, which are apparently absorbed much more. Penn Smith has lots of videos on microneedling.
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!
Please do a video with the micro infusion micro- needling device. I really am interested (and scared) to try. I have mild rosacea (shows up occasionally) and would like to know if you recommend. Thanks!
Can you show us tips on microstamping? After aggressive hormonal based breast cancer and Aromatase I’ve developed deep lines - never smoked - always used SPF but anyhow - would like to try microstamping. Thank you
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.
I'd love to learn more about what can be done for the 11s, other than frownies, especially if they are getting deeper set. Can cosmetic acupuncture help?
Hi, Please do a how to on qure micro needling. I just bought the kit and I’d love to see how to do it right. And can you explain whether or not this product works on the jowl line. Thanks
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!
@@sharonalbanese8084 Great tip. I didn’t think of that… because I’ve had to put away my microneedling tool. I’ve had some irritation and I’m getting back into it but, it’s a slow process … once I get going on my Microneedling again I’ll give it a try 💕💜💕
Awesome info, will try for dry skin😅! Lip filler has become as common as fake nails. If you watch any TV or movie you can see how popular its become. It doesn't last, but at least you can enjoy lipstick 💄
Curious if these products are safe enough to use with pustular rosacea. I tried the vanicream vit c in a previous video and that's a no go for my skin. I'd love to try the around the lip cream in this video but the retinol makes me think twice...
Have you tried retinol on your skin before? I have rosacea and avoided retinol for ages because I was sure it would make my dry, sensitive rosacea skin worse. Finally gave a mild form a try, and surprise! It actually improved my rosacea. Now I use tretinoin almost daily and my rosacea isn't gone, but it's drastically improved. It does make my skin dry, but if you make sure to apply a moisturizer that you can tolerate on top of it, you should be ok.
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.
Would this product make the upper lip more susceptible to the sun? In the summer, I get terrible melasma from the sun on my upper lip (I use a ton of sunscreen) (goes away in winter). Thank you!
HINT: Heres what i do: 1. DONT SMOKE! 2. DONT use a straw when drinking, it purses your lips 3. DONT consume an inflammatory diet : sugar alcohol wheat coffee dairy soda drinks, seed oils (canola and corn are particularly bad). all of these are quite damaging to your skin and your internal organs. 4. After washing face before bed, leave hot water ON your face, then take a lip balm (waxy) and run it several times over your wrinkles WHILE that wrinkled spot is pulled smooth, that way the water can get INTO the wrinkle and the lip balm SEALS it in. Works great for me! the next morning your wrinkles are 80% less.
I have used tretinoin, red light, and FOUR treatments with an ablative laser to get rid of vertical lip lines all around my mouth. I took collagen supplements for five years before giving up on them. I even tried NAD+ serum for six months, as well as OS-1 serum for seven months. About $32,000 spent to date! Can’t afford a face/neck lift because that will cost $120,000 cash-in-advance, where I live (Silicon Valley, CA)-just not do-able!
I had an amazing facelift from Dr Berkowitz in Los Gatos. He's top rated, he's done several procedures on me and all of them were perfection. I go very much for the understated look. At any rate, a facelift was only $28,000.
Are you still using the Qure? Did you do a video on how to use it, you mention in your video possible doing one. Any comments on long term results? Love your ❤! videos..❤❤

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
I agree. It's mostly genetics too I think.
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! 😂😂😂🤷🏼♀️
Agree
How come men don't seem to get them?
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.

Same story for me. I'm 60 and have bad smoker lines. I've smoked and used straws occasionly
These lines are inevitably caused by loss of estrogen

Sorry but ALL young dermatologist forget when talking about this; the menopause. By far THE biggest culprit of lip lines.

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.
I've been using Tretinoin at night and using a buff puff on them in the morning and seeing a big difference.
I use The Ordinary matryxl 300 and the argiryline. They are less than 10.00 each. I also started Derma-E eye lifting treatment and use it around my lips and eyes, and other wrinkles.

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.😮
Same experience
So frustrating that the Dr doesn’t tell you about hyperpigmentation.
@@sharonthomas5404 💯!! I wasn’t told either. Very frustrating.
Please show us the micro stamping technique😊.
My 87 year old mum started to get the "bar codes" as she calls them about a year ago, she treats the area with massages and exercise and says that it's working 😊
Smoking really contributes to these lines
@@conniedarbin2885my friend has never smoked, yet she has really deep above lip lines. 🤔
Bar Codes! Cute name for these aggravating lines!
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
Thank you glycolic acid works good too
Truthfully, it’s likely the tretinoin more than anything else.
How do you keep surgical tape to stick over the castor oil?
NOTHING has worked for my smoker lines at 67. I quit smoking 35 years ago and I cannot get rid of this dang lines. I don’t want any Botox or fillers. HELP
Hi, I’m new to your channel which is the one you put around your mouth couldn’t find it. Ty so much, loved the video
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!
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.
Yes I would like to see that Quere product explained and shown in a video.
Dr.Gross lip device for the lip is working great for me!
The LED device? How long till you noticed results? Thanks
I would say a couple of weeks. But I think even just the first use you could see a subtle difference. Definitely a faster result as far as your lips themselves go but the vertical lines that took a little bit longer. But definitely something that I really love. I also have his mask for the full face and that has completely changedmy face.
@@HMR0908ty!
Can you please specifically list the deep lasers used for this procedure?
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
Yes, would like a dedicated video about the micro needling stamping from Qure. Thank you!
In what order should you use it in your morning and evening regimen. I use vit C and hyaluronic acid in the morning and Tretinoin in the evening.
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 😊
Oh how I love all your videos! And YES, please do a video on the Qure stamping. I just ordered and am so curious to learn from you.
Id love a video on micro stamping / microneedling. I have a microneedling device which i purchased recently, ive used it once and my skin looks great! Also growth factors? Id love your opinion on these, thanks!
What’s the difference between the smooth upper lip & the smooth upper lip “professional”? Thx 💗
I bought a teeth whitening kit with a rubber tray that goes over my front teeth and up onto my gums. I wear it while I put my makeup on. It kind of pushes my upper lip out, stretching the lines away. The lines are gone. The cost of the kit was prob half the price of a tube of one of these creams.
Weird. So when you take it out, the lines are Still gone?
@@sherryundertheblood7577 Yes. And your upper lip feels a tiny bit puffed out. It looks sooo much better. Try it. Do it again when you see the lines reappearing. It's every 2-3 days for me.
Micro stamp/needling and nail videos please
Thank you so much for all your helpful advice. The corners of my mouth get extremely dry and cracked. Do you have any suggestions for products that would help?
You may be vit B5 deficient
Hi, you didn’t ask me, but cracked corners of the mouth usually indicate a deficiency in the B vitamins. Are you taking a good multivitamin and/or B complex daily? Sorry to butt in. 😊
@@carrielundy2145 You're not butting in at all. I appreciate the advice. I have just recently started taking B-12. Should I be taking another B vitamin also?
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!
Thank you, I will definitely look into it.
I've tried too many products that youtubers push already and none of them work. I'm hesitant to purchase anything recommended on this site. I will stick to Botox every 3 months and my Coolia sunscreen for lips. Hopefully, they are working on something that lasts longer around the mouth area soon.
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
Dermelects sleep serum is amazing also!
Would love more info on Qure micro infusion. Results and caveats. Thank you in advance.
Would love a demo video of queen micro infusion stamp/ micro needling vials, thanks. New here and very interested.
I have a micro needle roller, is it the same effect as the stamper?
It would be great if you could do a videos on Micro-needling. Your videos are so helpful and informative 👍
Does the micro stamper help only by helping serum absorption or does it also help by the stamper alone by creating micro pokes that cause collagen to rush and repair?
It does both. You can go deeper ( up to 1mm) to cause collagen to be produced which should be done very 4 to 6 weeks, and dont use any serums or lotions with active ingredients until 5-7 days after. You can also do a cosmetic needling ( about .25mm) and follow with serums, which are apparently absorbed much more. Penn Smith has lots of videos on microneedling.
@@sharonalbanese8084 thank you
think i am tired because i cannot find the link to the dr. gross product. i love your videos so much. thank you
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!
Please do a video with the micro infusion micro- needling device. I really am interested (and scared) to try. I have mild rosacea (shows up occasionally) and would like to know if you recommend. Thanks!
Very interesting in this
Can you show us tips on microstamping? After aggressive hormonal based breast cancer and Aromatase I’ve developed deep lines - never smoked - always used SPF but anyhow - would like to try microstamping. Thank you
I'm a new subscriber. I love the videos. I wish I knew all of this 20 years ago. Have you got a nighttime routine video? Thanks
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.
Thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏 thank you 🙏
Caster oil worked for me ❤
Can you do a demo of micro stamping? I would greatly appreciate to see how you do it as a dermatologist!
Wondering about in- office micro-needling, Morpheus 8, etc. I’ve read this can also help
I'd love to learn more about what can be done for the 11s, other than frownies, especially if they are getting deeper set. Can cosmetic acupuncture help?
Botox will take care of that
Tret is helping mine a lot.
Love to see micro stamping demo. Retinol suggestions as well for sensitive skin
Is there an alternative for the Dermelect lip product with good amount of peptides? I can’t buy it in Europe…. 😢
Hi, Please do a how to on qure micro needling. I just bought the kit and I’d love to see how to do it right. And can you explain whether or not this product works on the jowl line. Thanks
Can you recommend toner, essence balance ph and prep for absorbution
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!
Yes a stamping video please!
Will Dermelect help if you already have lines? More mature skin 60 yrs
No smoking. That helps tremendously
what is ur skincare for lips? is it allowed to use retinol on them?
how about rusk to lose pigment if arbutin or hydroquinone used near lips?
Love this, will buy😊
I tried the dermselect lip cream and didn’t see any results, how long do you need to use it before you see a change?
I give every new product at least six months. If I don’t see results by the end of the seventh month, I give up on the product!
I see subtle, not dramatic results after 3 mos.
It may work better if uou microneedle beforehand.
@@sharonalbanese8084 Great tip. I didn’t think of that… because I’ve had to put away my microneedling tool. I’ve had some irritation and I’m getting back into it but, it’s a slow process … once I get going on my Microneedling again I’ll give it a try 💕💜💕
@beyond50skin maybe try on a low setting, say .25mm. I do this once a week followed by serums and do a deeper one every 6 weeks or so.
What are your thoughts about derm-rolling your lips for fuller lips instead of injections?
I microneedle my face and it helps a lot. Next is a tiny amount of botox around the mouth.
Awesome info, will try for dry skin😅! Lip filler has become as common as fake nails. If you watch any TV or movie you can see how popular its become. It doesn't last, but at least you can enjoy lipstick 💄
Thank you for this video! Honestly my lip lines are probably my biggest insecurity, would love to just be able to wipe them off lol!
Please do a demo on face stamping
Curious if these products are safe enough to use with pustular rosacea. I tried the vanicream vit c in a previous video and that's a no go for my skin. I'd love to try the around the lip cream in this video but the retinol makes me think twice...
Have you tried retinol on your skin before? I have rosacea and avoided retinol for ages because I was sure it would make my dry, sensitive rosacea skin worse. Finally gave a mild form a try, and surprise! It actually improved my rosacea. Now I use tretinoin almost daily and my rosacea isn't gone, but it's drastically improved.
It does make my skin dry, but if you make sure to apply a moisturizer that you can tolerate on top of it, you should be ok.
Filler helped me.
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.
Would this product make the upper lip more susceptible to the sun? In the summer, I get terrible melasma from the sun on my upper lip (I use a ton of sunscreen) (goes away in winter). Thank you!
HINT: Heres what i do:
1. DONT SMOKE!
2. DONT use a straw when drinking, it purses your lips
3. DONT consume an inflammatory diet : sugar alcohol wheat coffee dairy soda drinks, seed oils (canola and corn are particularly bad). all of these are quite damaging to your skin and your internal organs.
4. After washing face before bed, leave hot water ON your face, then take a lip balm (waxy) and run it several times over your wrinkles WHILE that wrinkled spot is pulled smooth, that way the water can get INTO the wrinkle and the lip balm SEALS it in.
Works great for me! the next morning your wrinkles are 80% less.
Derma strips/angel lift works too
Is there any drugstore products that could offer similar results?
I have used tretinoin, red light, and FOUR treatments with an ablative laser to get rid of vertical lip lines all around my mouth. I took collagen supplements for five years before giving up on them. I even tried NAD+ serum for six months, as well as OS-1 serum for seven months. About $32,000 spent to date! Can’t afford a face/neck lift because that will cost $120,000 cash-in-advance, where I live (Silicon Valley, CA)-just not do-able!
Omg . Have you tried microneedling?
@@sharonalbanese8084 Yes, twice. Developed infections both times. I have also tried hyaluronic fillers three time, and just absorbed them.
@vetsai8199 gosh, not sure what else to suggest. I've seen city lips advertising a lot but I've never tried it.
Did u or do u smoke? Tjats wild. Maybe you damaged your skin w too many treatments.
I had an amazing facelift from Dr Berkowitz in Los Gatos. He's top rated, he's done several procedures on me and all of them were perfection. I go very much for the understated look. At any rate, a facelift was only $28,000.
I would like to see a demo of how to stamp with micro needling.
Are you still using the Qure? Did you do a video on how to use it, you mention in your video possible doing one. Any comments on long term results? Love your ❤! videos..❤❤
What do you recommend for people’s allergic to retinol?
The creams she just mentioned
The cream she just mentioned has retinol
I would love to see a video of micro stamping of the face.
What people think about GoPure neck cream?
since you're recommending collagen ... do you know whether there is a vegan or vegetarian option for collagen? this would be awesome...
I love the Nail filler!!
I do too, I have a thumb that developed nail ridges they are almost gone using this product
I’ve heard and read about collagen supplements and drinks and that they’re broken down by the stomach’s acidity before reaching the bloodstream!?
Would this work for deep under eye creases as well?
I just saw a video from Penn Smith. She suggested vitamin k serums work well. I've ordered one so I'll let you know once I've started using it.
It's by naturium
@@sharonalbanese8084ty!
What actually WORKS BEST is it a quality pen which one??? And for eye area ALSO
Anything for all the eye rolls? Lo!
$40 isn’t budget. $5-$15 is budget.
You get what you pay for.
Is micro stamping an at home process?
