Q Vertical lines are setting in above my lip (I’ve never smoked). Is there anything I can do to stop it getting worse?
A You won’t want to stop talking or kissing, so thankfully 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-to-lip area using a cannula; the product contains a numbing agent so the process is only mildly painful. It provides a miniscule amount of volume (to the top lip as well) that smoothes the area without inflating it. It sets the clock back a few years.
Alternatively, Belotero Revive is a liquid injectable ‘skin booster’ that floods the area with intense moisture and can soften pigmentation. There’s no added volume (and no numbing agent, but this can be provided separately).
Cosmetic physician Dr Sarah Tonks (thelovelyclinic.co.uk) charges £595 per treatment for Belotero Soft and £695 for Revive. Results last about six months.
