Causes of Wrinkles

Sun exposure is the main cause of wrinkles but genetics also play a significant role in wrinkle development.

popular Prevention and Treatment of Wrinkles

A multi-faceted approach to prevention and treatment is recommended.

Topical regimen of daily sun protection, prescription products, and medical grade cosmeceuticals are the first line of prevention and treatment.

DAXXIFY™ is a new treatment released in 2023 that helps smooth moderate to severe lines between the brows. DAXXIFY™ is the only wrinkle treatment powered by a peptide with results that last on average 6 months.

Injections can reduce or eliminate wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. Most people see results in 3 to 7 days and results last 3 to 4 months.

Soft Tissue Fillers add volume under the surface of the skin to restore fullness to the face, lips, and hands. Most fillers are effective for wrinkle reduction and yield immediate results that last from 6 to 18 months.

Fractional Laser Resurfacing has the capability of improving the appearance of wrinkles with reduced recovery time and complications compared to traditional CO2 resurfacing. Morpheus8 is a popular fractional skin treatment that combines radiofrequency with micro-needling to encourage collagen production of the underlying layers of the dermis. (which allows the skin  to tighten). Morpheus8 is ideal for improving the tissues of the face and body, which can be treated to result in a more radiant, youthful appearance.

Chemical Peels can treat a variety of medical and cosmetic indications including acne, melasma, post-inflamatory hyperpigmentation, freckles, sun spots (solar lentigos), pre-cancers (actinic keratoses), photo aging, fine lines and wrinkles.

DermaSweep® is particle-free microdermabrasion that uses a unique bristle and suction technology that aids in overall facial rejuvenation by stimulating collagen production and drastically improving textural irregularities. After the initial dry exfoliation process is performed, the second step involves an individualized infusion application. The various infusions are formulated to treat acne, aging skin, dry skin, hyperpigmentation, photo damage and other problems. There is little to no down time and results are immediate, leaving patients with noticeably smoother skin that appears healthier and more youthful.

Microneedling is a technique that creates thousands of micro-perforations on the skin to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. SkinPen® by Crown Aesthetics (formerly Bellus Medical) is the first microneedling device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The aim of this treatment is to induce collagens via the micro perforations, which stimulate fibroblasts to create natural collagen and elastin, resulting in a reduction in the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and pore size and leads to an improvement in skin texture.
