What are fine lines and wrinkles?

Fine lines are the beginning stage of wrinkles, appearing as small and shallow creases on the surface of your face. Wrinkles are deeper in the skin and more pronounced. They can appear anywhere on the body but are more prevalent on the face, neck and hands.

What are the treatment options for fine lines and wrinkles?

Fine lines and wrinkles are mainly caused by the following internal and external factors:

Aging

As the body goes through its natural aging process in the 30s and 40s, skin laxity is reduced and collagen production slows down. Natural facial movements such as speaking, eating and smiling cause creases in the skin. As you age, the skin doesn’t bounce back as easily, leading to more fine lines and wrinkles. Aging skin also becomes more dry and is slower to heal which contributes to wrinkles.

Facial muscle movements and everyday habits

Facial movements such as smiling, squinting and frowning can cause wrinkles on your forehead, between your eyebrows and corners of your eyes (crown’s feet). As time passes, these movements along with gravity eventually lead to wrinkles and fine lines.

Certain daily habits such as sleeping facedown on a pillow can also cause wrinkles. Although they can disappear during the day, they can become permanent if the habit is long-term and your skin is not hydrated enough.

Sun exposure and tanning beds

Excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and tanning beds damages the skin cells, leading to premature aging and accelerating wrinkle formation.

Environmental factors

Regular exposure to air pollution, air conditioning and dry environments can lead to developing fine lines and wrinkles.

Smoking

Smoking is also a major cause of developing fine lines and wrinkles, especially for younger people. This is because regular smoking breaks down collagen and reduces the skin’s elasticity, allowing wrinkles to form more easily.

What are the treatment options for fine lines and wrinkles?

There are many treatments available for fine lines and wrinkles, depending on the patient’s age and severity. It’s recommended to start treatment at the first sign of fine lines to prevent them from deepening into wrinkles and becoming permanent.

Facials and skin therapy treatments

Non-invasive facials and skin therapy treatments can dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with minimal to zero downtime. We offer the following treatments:

A treatment that uses a dual, high-frequency ultrasound technology to deliver a micro-massage to the skin, effective in treating difficult skin conditions such as acne by improving the skin’s pH balance.

This facial based on cryotherapy exposes the face to cool air, promoting firmer skin and constricting blood vessels. Cryo facials help to restore your skin to a healthier and more youthful condition while treating acne scarring. It also calms down your skin to reduce inflammation and redness caused by acne. 

ACSE Exosome Skin Therapy uses a naturally regenerative process to heal your skin. This scientifically-proven treatment allows your cells to absorb the new exosomes to dramatically heal from aging and inflammation to prevent scarring caused by acne.

Over-the-counter treatments

Retinoids that contain ingredients such as retinol, adapalene, tazarotene and tretinoin and retinol aldehyde (Retin-A) improve your skin’s hydration and collagen levels to prevent and reduce lines and wrinkles. Check with your doctor to see if retinoid creams are suitable for your skin.
