Wrinkles,
fine lines and skin folds are
part of the natural aging process,
however, there are ways to eliminate
them and improve your skin’s
overall appearance.
Genetic conditions, sun exposure,
medications, smoking, and other
environmental factors all play
a role in the development of wrinkles,
fine lines, and skin folds. These
imperfections are often asymmetric
since most people smile, frown,
furrow their brow, squint, or
sleep more on one side than the
other.
Treatment for wrinkles, fine
lines and skin folds
There are numerous ways to treat
these annoyances and improve aging
skin. Since wrinkles, fine lines,
and skin folds are caused in part
by a lack of hydration, moisturizers
(especially ones with sunscreen)
are the cornerstones of treatment.
-
-
Injectable agents (such
as Juvéderm™,
Restylane™,
Sculptra®,
and Cosmoplast®) can be
used to replace lost volume,
smooth irregular contours,
address asymmetries, and even
stimulate new collagen formation.
-
Botox®
injections serve to inhibit
active wrinkle formation and,
through repeated injection,
can prevent new wrinkles from
forming over time.
-
Laser procedures, such as
fractional CO2 resurfacing
(Lumenis®
FX) is considered the
gold standard for correcting
fine lines & wrinkles.
Additionally, this laser procedure
tightens lax skin, eliminates
pigmented spots and superficial
dilated vessels, and gives
the skin an overall improved
tone and consistency.
-
In the most severe form,
wrinkles and skin folds may
need to be addressed through
traditional plastic surgery
in the form of a blepharoplasty
(eye-lift) or rhytidectomy
(face lift).
