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.
