Lines and wrinkles can appear anywhere on our bodies, but generally, our patients are primarily concerned with addressing the forehead, worry, laugh, lip and jowl lines. Crow's feet - the areas surrounding the outer corner of the eyes - are also a common concern. Lines and wrinkles are often the result of several factors, the most prevalent of which are:
Age and Gravity
As our skin matures, it naturally loses collagen and elastin, resulting in diminished skin elasticity and the appearance of creases and furrows.
Facial Expressions
Furrows develop when facial actions such as grinning, frowning and squinting are frequently repeated.
Sun Exposure
Extended exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun can hasten the aging process, leading to premature furrows and fine creases. It's important to remember that our medical team can't emphasize enough the importance of incorporating sunscreen into your daily skincare routine!
Fat Loss
As we grow older, we naturally lose facial volume, which can result in sagging skin and the emergence of wrinkles. Weight loss can also contribute, as the skin may not rebound as quickly as the fat diminishes.
How is it treated?
Wrinkles are an inevitable part of the aging process. If they cause you concern, our experienced providers can outline an effective treatment plan designed to soften wrinkles and reduce their prominence, such as Botox, laser resurfacing, chemical peels, facial fillers and microneedling.
