Wrinkles
Signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of life, but they can make you look older or more tired than you feel. At AboutSkin Dermatology and Aesthetics, we understand how these changes affect your appearance and confidence. Our Board-Certified Dermatologists offer advanced treatment options to minimize wrinkles and restore a more youthful, refreshed look.
What Are Wrinkles?
Wrinkles are visible creases, folds, lines and ridges in the skin that come in different forms. Dynamic wrinkles appear when facial muscles contract during expressions and may initially disappear when the face is at rest. Over time, these can develop into static wrinkles that remain visible even when facial muscles are relaxed. Wrinkles can range from fine surface lines to deep creases, depending on their type and location.
Common types of facial wrinkles include:
- Forehead lines that appear horizontally across the brow
- Glabellar lines (frown lines) between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the outer corners of the eyes
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines) from the nostrils to the corners of the mouth
- Marionette lines extending from the mouth corners to the chin
- Fine lines around the lips and mouth (smoker’s lines)
What Causes Wrinkles?
Various factors can contribute to the formation of wrinkles, including:
Natural Aging Process
Over time, our skin naturally becomes thinner and less elastic. Collagen and elastin production decreases, making the skin more prone to creasing and folding.
Sun Exposure
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun accelerates skin aging through a process called photoaging. This leads to premature wrinkles, particularly in areas frequently exposed to sunlight and other forms of UV light.
Repetitive Facial Movements
Frequent muscle contractions from facial expressions like smiling, frowning or squinting can create dynamic wrinkles that eventually become permanent.
Lifestyle Factors
Smoking, poor hydration, lack of sleep and environmental pollutants can all cause premature skin aging and wrinkle formation.
Treatment Options for Wrinkles
Our Board-Certified Dermatologists offer multiple treatment approaches to address different types of wrinkles:
Neuromodulator Injections
Products like Botox, Dysport and Daxxify work by temporarily relaxing the targeted facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. These treatments are particularly effective for:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
Dermal Fillers
Injectable fillers like Juvederm, Restylane and Radiesse restore lost volume and smooth deeper wrinkles. They work especially well for:
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Deep creases around the mouth
Laser Resurfacing
Both ablative and non-ablative laser treatments can improve your skin’s texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. The type of laser resurfacing treatment recommended depends on the severity of your wrinkles and desired downtime.
Additional Treatment Options
Other effective options for targeting wrinkles include:
- Chemical peels
- Microneedling
- Radiofrequency microneedling
- Medical-grade skincare products
For optimal results, our Board-Certified Dermatologists often recommend combining different treatment approaches. For example, using neuromodulators to relax muscles while addressing skin texture with laser resurfacing can provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
