Wrinkles aren’t just wrinkles – when we talk about this sure sign of aging on the face, it is characterized in four different ways:
1. Fine Lines (minor wrinkles and creases)
Fine lines are typically the first signs of aging you’ll see on your face in terms of wrinkles. It is unavoidable and will worsen if left unchecked.
Your Nonsurgical Solution: Fraxel skin resurfacing and chemical peels
2. Furrows (deeper wrinkles and creases)
Worsened foremost by repeated facial expressions, furrows are most prominent around the mouth known as nasolabial folds, the glabellar lines between the eyebrows, and those lines located horizontally across the forehead.
Your Nonsurgical Solution: Fraxel skin resurfacing, Botox or Fillers (or a combination of all)
3. Looseness (sagging and flaccid skin)
Loose skin is a result of a loss of elasticity and collagen (as well atrophy), making the skin sag. This is very prominent along the jawline, in the form of jowls.
Your Nonsurgical Solution: ReFirme Skin Tightening
4. Atrophy (wrinkles and loose skin caused by the deterioration of tissue, specifically fat, skin and bone)
As we progress more into our latter years, we lose fullness most notably in the cheeks. The structure of our face changes as tissue and bone deteriorate, contributing to an aged appearance characterized by sunken cheeks and hollowed eyes.
Your Nonsurgical Solution: Fillers
The key to controlling the severity of a wrinkle is really about two things: prevention and immediate treatment. You can erase a decade or more of aging signs by addressing each type of wrinkle with an appropriate treatment.
