I'm really curious about the yag laser treatment for dark lips. I've heard that the results might not last forever. Is it true that they're temporary in all cases? Also, I only smoke once a month and I've been trying to stop lip licking and always apply lip balm with SPF. In this situation, would the results of the treatment last longer or maybe forever? If there's any permanent solution for dark lips, I'd love to know. Would appreciate your advice!

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.

I've been looking into different soap bars and I'm torn between the Desmodew Lite and iGlow Lite options. I'm really concerned about making sure I pick something that's safe for my skin and not harmful in any way. Can you help me understand which one might be the better choice?

Desmodew lite soap bar and i-glow lite soap bar are both safe options for the skin. However, it is important to note that individual reactions to skincare products can vary. For a safer option, I would recommend using Desmodew lite soap bar as it is known for its gentle cleansing properties and is suitable for sensitive skin. You can use Desmodew lite soap bar for daily cleansing of the skin. Apply the soap on wet skin, gently massage, and then rinse off with water. If you have any specific skin concerns or conditions, it is always best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.
