Daily lip SPF and moisture help prevent it, and laser lip tinting (from AED 500 at Skin & Laser) fades existing pigment gradually for a natural, even tone.

What laser does
A pigment-targeting laser breaks down extra melanin in the lips. Each session lightens them a little, so the result looks natural rather than bleached.
When to see a doctor first
Sudden dark patches, a single changing spot, or darkening with other symptoms should be checked by a doctor before any cosmetic treatment.
