Worried With The Lip Vermillion Border. Used UV Protection On Lips. Advise On Pros & Cons Of Laser Treatment On Lips?

hello dear dr

ive been searching for a way to get rid of my brown ''lip vermillion border'' .
well i have been doing many stuff to eliminate this pigmentation and i guess what i have is genetic since i do not even smoke , and i dont think its cause of sun exposure cause it has been years ive been applying UV protection on my lips, out door, any way.. now im thinking about doing a laser treatment but i need to be sure of consequences and probable dangers , or .. side effects or i dunno , all the aspects , since i hear lips are very sensitive and laser can cause uneven color after treatment , scars.. burns... and such !!! and also there are many methods of killing the pigments by laser like : fractional method or yag ! ( which i hear may cause uneven pigmentation and scarring ! ), or q-switched Nd:Yg laser.. which i dunno anything about !
anywayssss, !! , do u think u can help me ?
oh by the way , some times my lips get real dark ! and some time not that much ,, but the inner part is alwaysss pale pink !

HI the pigmentation of your lip border seems to be genetic any way you could improve your pigmentation by using combination drugs like hydroquinone isotretinoin and hydrocortisone available in pakistan by the name of retrieve or trimelasin cream.thats good that you are using sun block.As far as lasers are concerned you can be benefitted from Q switch ND yag lasers or IPL.
