Some of the best treatment solutions for fine lines and deeper wrinkles that form with aging are:
- Dermal Fillers to instantly restore lost volume to a wrinkle and enhance support and lift. Sculptra® Aesthetic can be exceptionally effective with this type of aging because it can be injected deeply to regenerate your natural production of collagen and results are incredibly natural-looking over time.
- Sciton ProFractional™ can be customized to intensely resurface fine lines and deeper wrinkles and significantly boost your skin’s collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, tighter skin.
When our faces perform repeated muscle contractions throughout our lives, like when we lift our eyebrows in surprise or squint our eyes on sunny drives to work, our collagen and elastin can breakdown at the site of contraction and form a crease. This is especially evident in high movement areas, like between our eyebrows, across our foreheads, and around the eyes and mouth. A wrinkle that forms when our muscle contracts is called an active, or dymamic wrinkle. When that wrinkle is still present after our muscles relax, it is called a static wrinkle. Because ALL of us make facial expressions, and they are an essential way to communicate with the world around us, people as young as 18 years old can experience fine lines due to repeated facial movements.
Some of the best treatment solutions for fine lines and deeper wrinkles that form due to repeated facial movement are:
- Neurotoxins like Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport®. These cosmetic injectables work by blocking the signal your brain sends to your muscle to contract. This temporarily disables the muscles, and overlying skin stays smooth for up to four months. Plus, if started earlier enough, Botox® can Dysport® can actually prevent future fine lines and wrinkles from forming.
- Dermal Fillers can help address static fine lines and wrinkles in some areas of the face by filling the crease with volume. Many fillers, such as Juvéderm® Voluma™ and Restylane®, are comprised of hyaluronic acid, which attracts and binds water molecules to the surrounding tissue and creates a “plumping” effect.
- Sciton HALO™ and MicroLaserPeel® both resurface the top layers of your skin, leading to improvements in the appearance of lines and can also treat deeper layers to boost collagen and elastin production and lessen the depth and appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Almost 90% of visible aging on our skin, including fine lines and wrinkles, is due to environmental factors, such as sun exposure, and lifestyle factors, like smoking and chronic stress. These factors can cause extensive damage to our cell’s DNA and accelerate the breakdown of precious collagen and elastin.
Although the most effective way to treat fine lines and wrinkles that form from environmental and lifestyle factors is PREVENTION, these Skin Artisans treatments are also extremely effective:
- DiamondGlow™ & HydraFacial® to enhance cellular turnover and infuse skin with essential growth factors vital hydration.
- VI Peel® to address environmental damage, smooth fine lines, and boost collagen production.
- SkinPen® Microneedling to strengthen skin, improve elasticity, and soften the appearance of fine lines.
- Sciton SkinTyte™ laser skin tightening to gently stimulate new collagen production and smooth fine lines.
- Physician-grade skincare containing antioxidants to neutralize free radical damage, SPF to prevent further UV damage, retinol to rev up collagen and elastin production, and epidermal growth factors to regenerate and strengthen skin.
