Hello Doctor,Im considering YAG laser treatment for dark lips, but Ive heard that the results arent permanent. Is that the case for everyone? If I quit smoking (I only smoke once a month right now), stop licking my lips, and apply a lip balm with SPF, will the results last longer or even be permanent? Also, if there are any other permanent treatments available, could you please let me know? Looking forward to your advice. Best regards, Milnd
YAG laser treatment for dark lips can provide long-lasting results, but they may not be permanent for all cases. Quitting smoking, avoiding lip licking, and regularly applying lip balm with SPF can help maintain the results for a longer period. Additionally, you can consider permanent treatments like Q-switched Nd:YAG laser therapy or chemical peels for dark lips. These treatments can offer more permanent results compared to YAG laser treatment.
