Over-the-counter creams can help lighten dark lips. These products often include active ingredients such as hydroquinone, kojic acid, and arbutin that help reduce dark spots on upper lips.
However, our Dermatologist warns results vary between patients. Therefore it is vital that you select a practitioner with adequate qualifications and check their credentials – they should be listed in an official register.

Q-switched ND: YAG laser
The Q-switched ND: YAG laser provides an efficient and safe lip pigmentation treatment option for lip hyperpigmentation. As its non-ablative, meaning no epidermal damage occurs during treatment, pigment cells producing dark melanin can be destroyed to produce lighter skin tone and evenness of complexion. Furthermore, this method can also be used to treat melanocytic nevi without the potential adverse side effects associated with surgical excision and cryotherapy treatments.
Studies involving 70 patients who suffered from melanin hyperpigmentation of their lips were treated using a Q-switched 532-nm ND: YAG laser and photographed before and three months post treatment to assess results. Seven of them showed good responses while two experienced moderate outcomes; while one patient experienced recurrence.
ND: YAG lasers can also effectively treat spider and thread veins on the face (cheek, temporal area and nasal dorsum) and legs using low power lasers with long pulse duration and high fluency to destroy red pigment (haemoglobin). The process typically takes only 30 minutes per session with most patients needing multiple sessions over time.
Pulsed ND: YAG laser
The ND: YAG laser has become one of the go-to lip pigmentation treatment for dermatological vascular lesions due to its ability to absorb haemoglobin effectively and penetrate deeper layers of skin, thus making vascular lesions easy to remove without harming surrounding tissue or hair follicles. Furthermore, its lower energy radiation may make treatment of skin lesions with this wavelength even less damaging overall.
Studies have proven laser therapy’s efficacy at treating several vascular conditions, such as small red telangiectasia’s (spider veins), blue facial venues and thick or hypertrophic haemangiomas. Furthermore, laser treatment has proven safe for darker skin types although some mild redness or discomfort may occur after receiving treatment.
ND: YAG laser crystals use the neodymium dopant to convert photon energy to heat via photo thermal effect, thus killing diseased cells and encouraging healing. They have also proven more effective than systemic medications in treating fungal nail infections.
Pulsed ND: YAG ring laser
ND: YAG lasers can be utilized for treating various skin issues, from thread and spider vein reduction, to red pigment (haemoglobin) reduction on sun damaged skin and dark underarm or genital pigmentation treatment, says our best Dermatologist in Mumbai. They come in both continuous wave (CW) or pulsed modes and offer multiple therapeutic uses. They may help remove thread veins, spider veins and reticular veins as well as treat red pigment in sun damaged areas or dark underarm or genital pigmentation treatment.
Pulsed ND: YAG ring lasers are among the most efficient tools for treating pigmentation and tattoo removal, boasting lower power requirements and providing more energy per pulse than any other pulsed laser available today. Furthermore, they’re easy to use and safe to operate – an ideal combination.
Pulsed ND: YAG lasers are also widely utilized in dentistry, providing solutions for biopsies as well as desensitizing tooth enamel. Furthermore, they may be used to treat aphtha’s ulcers and vaporize decayed tissue; plus hard tissue applications like etching and dentin bonding; finally they may also help lip pigmentation removal with treating eye floaters.
Pulsed ND: YAG lip laser
In this study, we demonstrate the efficacy of a double-frequency Q-switched ND: YAG laser in treating lip melanosis. Patients reported high levels of satisfaction after receiving this laser therapy; it represents an excellent choice for practices or Med Spas offering aesthetic services.Physiological lip hyperpigmentation can be difficult to treat effectively. Topical treatments often produce uneven and ineffective depigmentation results; however, low-fluency Q-switched ND: YAG laser has proven an effective remedy, says our best Dermatologist in Mumbai.
