Wrinkles
Facial lines and wrinkles are part of the natural course of aging and contribute to our unique character. Sun damage and smoking add to these lines. We have many options for treating lines and wrinkles; often a combination of different treatments leads to best results. A common example is frown lines where Botox is used to relax the frown movement and dermal fillers may be considered for the deeper lines. Lines around the mouth are commonly helped by use of
dermal fillers, but Botox and laser resurfacing can confer additional benefit. Beyond wrinkles, shadowing under the eyes or hollowing of the cheeks may benefit from use of dermal fillers to replace lost volume. Lips also tend to diminish and develop radial lines with down turned corners of the mouth. Replenishing the volume, crisping up the lip edges and smoothing out the wrinkles can all be addressed with a coordinated, dermatologist directed approach.
