5 Nonsurgical Treatments for Fine Lines
The skin changes over time, and several factors can contribute to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Fortunately, you can look younger without plastic surgery.
At 麻豆高清 in New York City, Dr. Javier Zelaya and our team offer nonsurgical solutions for skin in need of refreshing. We look at five treatment options below.
Causes and types of fine lines and wrinkles
Age is a primary factor in the loss of collagen and elastin, proteins in the skin responsible for its elasticity and firmness. Still, the thinning and wrinkling in the skin :
- UV overexposure: Too much time in direct sunlight damages your skin in many ways
- Sun lamps: UV light in a more concentrated form has the same risk as too much sunlight
- Smoking: Slows down the production of collagen in the skin
- Repeated facial expressions: Smiling, frowning, and squinting take a toll over time
Wrinkles are, meaning they result from repeated expressions (dynamic) or the pull of gravity (static). Common types of wrinkles include:
- Forehead or worry lines above your brow
- Bunny lines that appear between the nose and eyes
- Crow’s feet on the sides of your eyes
- Laugh lines, or nasolabial folds, that form around the upper lip
- Lip lines around the mouth’s perimeter
- Marionette lines that form vertically and frame your chin
Untreated, fine lines can gradually turn into deeper wrinkles.
Nonsurgical options
Here are five ways to treat your fine lines and wrinkles without surgery:
Botox® injections
Subdermal injections of have become a popular way of managing dynamic wrinkles. It works by paralyzing muscle activity to keep facial muscles from contracting.
Dermal fillers
These injections fill the spaces in wrinkles , including hyaluronic acid. Fillers can address dynamic and static wrinkles, and can help contour the face.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy
One of several forms of laser therapy that treats skin, this method (also called a photo facial) at the lower layers of skin to help smooth wrinkles.
Laser resurfacing
(using a single laser as opposed to multiple wavelengths) can help reduce wrinkles and provide healthier skin by stimulating collagen production.
Chemical peels
Also called dermapeeling or chemexfoliation, this technique uses chemicals to cause the skin to peel and reveal healthy layers beneath. This process can help reduce wrinkles, clear up acne, reduce scarring, and manage various skin conditions.
