I'm curious about the cost of getting a Q-switch laser treatment for naturally dark lips due to genetics. Also, how long do the effects typically last after the procedure?

Depending on the extent of treatment required, it costs between 7k - 15k INR. The number of sessions required varies from patient to patient. The effects generally last a few years, but maintenance sessions may be required to sustain the results.

I'm really concerned about my lip color. My upper lip is much darker compared to my lower lip, and I really want them to have a rosy hue. Are there any remedies or treatments you would recommend to help even out the color? I could really use some advice.

To achieve rosy lips and reduce the darkness of your upper lip, try these remedies: apply a mixture of lemon juice, honey, and sugar; exfoliate with a gentle lip scrub; use a lip balm or lip gloss containing natural ingredients like beetroot, turmeric, or pomegranate; massage your lips with coconut oil or olive oil; and avoid smoking, excessive tea or coffee consumption, and exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.

I'm currently taking HCQS 200 twice a day for my skin issues, and I used to drink a lot before starting this medication. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have one drink a day or a glass of wine with dinner now. I'd really appreciate your advice.
