Understanding Facial Wrinkles
Understanding a bit about facial wrinkles will allow us
find the best ways to help you look your best-as facial wrinkles are not all
the same! Facial wrinkles vary from fine surface lines to deeper creases and
folds. Wrinkles can actually be grouped into two types: Dynamic Wrinkles, which are formed when
muscles contract, or Static Wrinkles,
which are lines or depressions that exist even when there is no muscle action
or pull on the skin. Dynamic wrinkles are best treated with BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®
or Xeomin® whereas static wrinkles are best treated with substances that plump
up, volumize and fill out the problem lines. These substances are known
medically as "dermal fillers". Fillers are easy to inject and are
biodegradable and thus not permanent. The most popular dermal fillers are
Radiesse®, Boletero ® and JUVÉDERM®. Depending on your areas of concern and the
type of wrinkle, we may suggest just using BOTOX® Cosmetic, or Radiesse®,
JUVÉDERM™ or Boletero®, or perhaps injecting a combination of the materials in
order to achieve the best possible results.
