WRINKLES

Crow’s feet:

Crow’s feet, also known as laugh or smile lines, are the lines around the outer corner of the eye. These lines appear typically in our early 30s, (or earlier without an effective skin care regimen). These inevitable lines appear as we age.

Frown lines:

Also known as the 11’s, frown lines are the creases between the brows.

Nasolabial Folds:

The nasolabial folds are the deep lines located between the corners of the mouth and the nose. As we lose volume in our face, these folds become more prominent and noticeable.

Wrinkles form due to a combination of factors including natural aging (loss of collagen and elastin), repeated facial expressions (like smiling and frowning), sun damage, smoking, and genetics. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and ability to bounce back, leading to fine lines and deeper wrinkles.

Botox® treats dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement (like crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines) by temporarily relaxing the underlying muscles. Dermal fillers address static wrinkles and volume loss by filling in deeper lines and restoring facial contours. Many patients benefit from a combination of both for comprehensive wrinkle reduction.

The best treatment depends on the type, depth, and location of your wrinkles, as well as your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, our expert aesthetic treamtent team will evaluate your skin, discuss your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan that may include Botox®, fillers, laser resurfacing, or a combination approach.

Results vary by treatment type. Botox® typically lasts 3-4 months, dermal fillers last 6-18 months depending on the product, and collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra can last up to 2 years. Laser resurfacing and chemical peels provide long-lasting improvements that can be maintained with proper skincare and periodic touch-ups. Your provider will discuss expected longevity during your consultation.
