Wrinkle-Reducing Treatment Options
Wrinkle Remedies
Wrinkles, deep
folds and fine lines are signs that we are no
longer are as young as we feel. These can be
dynamic (appear with facial expression) or
static (there all the time). Dynamic wrinkles
are caused by muscle activity and become static
and deeper with time.
Many of us
yearn to look youthful without plastic surgery
or having a face frozen by Botox injections.
Fortunately, this is possible and easily
achieved with a combination of the following
treatment options:
Botox
Botox is a
purified protein that prevents muscle
contraction. Used in large amounts, it can cause
a frozen unnatural look. However, judicious use
can produce a very natural result as the facial
muscles are just weakened & not paralyzed.
Botox for
cosmetic use has gone beyond wrinkle relaxation.
It is now also used for facial contouring and
face lifting. The traditional uses (reduction of
frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet)
remain the most frequently requested cosmetic
procedure in the USA.

Fillers
Injectable
fillers or dermal fillers are used to treat
static lines.
Most of the
wrinkles and folds that develop in the bottom
half of the face are caused by loss of
elasticity, atrophy of underlying support
structures and the pull of gravity over the
years. Things like folds between the nose and
the mouth (naso-labial lines); marionette lines
running from the mouth to the chin can be
improved with dermal fillers.
These are
substances, injected under the skin to create
volume and smooth out the folds on the surface
in procedures known as soft-tissue augmentation.
Not only does it plump-up the area being
treated, but recent research shows that some of
these fillers also stimulate your skin to
produce more new collagen and stop the further
breakdown of your existing collagen.
Fillers are
often used to enhance facial contours too: lip,
nose and chin augmentations are popular
requests.
There are many
types of filler available on the market and the
hyaluronic acid fillers are generally the most
popular in view of their safety and
affordability. Temporary fillers can last for up
to a year depending on the location of injection
and the type of filler chosen.
Chemical Peels
The Easy TCA Peel is efficient at dramatically
reducing the depth of wrinkles if used in
conjunction with Botox wrinkle relaxation.

IPL
Photorejuvenation
IPL is used to improve skin
texture, shrink open skin pores and reduce the
appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The
effects of IPL photorejuvenation are primarily
in the superficial dermis.

Laser Photorejuvenation
Stimulation of mid dermal collagen synthesis,
laser photorejuvenation works at a level deeper
than IPL. No downtime is seen with this
treatment, which is made comfortable with the
prior application of local anaesthetic cream.
Focussing the laser beam over static wrinkles
can result in a reduction in wrinkle depth.
Radiofrequency
Acts via two modes of action: immediate collagen
shrinkage leading to an instant face lifting
effect, followed by the stimulation of collagen
production in the deep dermis.
Treatment around the eye area produces an
immediate reduction in the appearance of fine
lines. Deeper wrinkles become shorter and more
shallow.
