Wrinkles
Creases and folds that develop as skin loses collagen and elasticity and as repeated expressions leave their mark. Treatments can relax the muscles involved, refill lost volume, or rebuild the skin itself.
What It Is
Wrinkles form through a combination of factors: the skin naturally produces less collagen and elastin as we age, which reduces its firmness and bounce. Repeated facial movements, such as smiling or frowning, can etch creases over time, especially in areas like the forehead and around the eyes. Sun exposure and environmental damage accelerate this process. Different wrinkles respond to different approaches, so a qualified provider can assess your specific concerns and discuss which options may suit you.
Treatment Options
Botox is a prescription injectable medication derived from purified Clostridium botulinum bacteria that works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to muscles, causing them to relax. It is used to smooth and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet around the eyes. (1 provider)
