Getting Rid of Fine Lines & Wrinkles is Both Safe and Easy

Wrinkles and fine lines can develop due to intrinsic or extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors include aging, weight and hormones while extrinsic factors include exposure to UV and cigarette smoke. While it can be difficult to control such things as aging, healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce causes related to extrinsic factors.

The skin succumbs to these factors, becoming thinner, less elastic and more fragile. Skin laxity develops. That is how creases and other complexion issues develop. Your skin type also contributes to the rate at which visible signs of aging develop.

When their skin starts giving away the secret of their age, many people turn to our dermatologists for natural-looking rejuvenation. Wrinkles and fine lines are among the most common complaints with aging. Static wrinkles are present when you’re not moving while dynamic wrinkles can occur with movement such as frowning or squinting. Many of our products and procedures can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles as well as stimulate collagen production and prevent the development of deeper lines on the face, neck, chest and hands.

There are some lifestyle habits that contribute more to the development of wrinkles and fine lines than others. Smoking is one of these habits. Multiple medical studies have shown that wrinkles, on the face in particular, were more commonly found in smokers than in non-smokers. Lifelong smokers were also found to be at twice the risk of developing moderate to severe wrinkles than those who smoked for a shorter period.

Cigarettes contain harmful chemicals that not only damage the vital building blocks in your skin, collagen and elastin, but also constrict blood circulation. With compromised blood circulation, your skin is unable to get the nutrients it needs to remain in optimal form. Repeated actions while you smoke, such as squinting and pursing the lips, can also lead to permanent wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.

Wrinkles and Fine Lines Treatment FAQ

There are several types of treatments for wrinkles. Botox smoothes away wrinkles by relaxing the muscles that create the wrinkles in the first place, and dermal fillers plump up the skin. Laser based technologies work by boosting collagen production to restructure the skin at the cellular level.  Therefore, the most suitable treatment for you is based on your skin and goals, as assessed by one of our board certified dermatologists.

Wrinkles can be "filled in" with dermal fillers. These are injectable products that add hyaluronic acid or another natural substance into the skin to plump it up and smooth away wrinkles. They can also encourage collagen production to restore the youthfulness of your skin at the cellular level.
