What is the ruling on treating dull and dark lips with laser treatment to restore a reddish colour?
Short answer
Laser treatment for the lips is considered permissible. It is not regarded as changing Allah's creation, which is prohibited, because it does not alter the original creation.

Summary
Laser treatment for the lips is considered permissible. It is not regarded as changing Allah's creation, which is prohibited, because it does not alter the original creation. Its purpose is to treat dull and cracked lips and restore their original colour. The default ruling on adornment is permissibility unless a specific text excludes it, and a wife adorning herself for her husband is among her rights.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpendapat rawatan bibir menggunakan laser sebagaimana yang telah dinyatakan di atas adalah harus dan tidak mengapa.
