What You Need To Know About Wrinkles and Wrinkle Treatment

Your skin will naturally lose moisture, elasticity, and collagen as you age. Combined with sun and environmental exposure, these factors can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles. Expressions, such as laughing, squinting, or frowning, can accentuate the wrinkles around the lines of expression, resulting in:

• Crow’s feet, which are the lines radiating out from the corners of your eyes
• Glabella, which are the deep creases between your eyebrows
• Furrows, which are the wrinkles running across your forehead
• Marionette lines, which are the vertical lines running from your mouth to your chin

If you have sensitive skin or are young and just beginning to notice fine lines, your dermatologist may recommend:

• Vitamin and antioxidant creams to minimize the appearance of wrinkles
• Lotions with vitamin A acid to enhance skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles
• Alpha-hydroxy acid creams to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

If you have normal skin or are older and noticing deeper wrinkles and creases, your dermatologist may recommend:

• Chemical peels, resurface your skin, revealing younger-looking skin
• Dermal fillers, like Juvederm or Restylane, fill in wrinkles and fine lines, plumping and smoothing your skin
• Wrinkle relaxers like Botox, which temporarily freeze the muscles and nerves at the injection site, minimizing wrinkles and creases

Your dermatologist is an expert at treating wrinkles and can build a customized treatment plan just for you to minimize wrinkles and help you look younger.
