Treatment options for wrinkles on the face and neck depend mostly on the underlying cause. Once the reason for wrinkles is diagnosed, our team can help you decide which options are best for you. Other factors we take into consideration are downtime, cost, and the number of treatments required to achieve the desired result.
| CAUSE OF WRINKLES | TREATMENT OPTIONS |
|---|---|
|
Loose skin or muscle
|
|
|
Repetitive muscle contraction (for example: crow’s feet, forehead lines, glabellar wrinkles/“11’s”)
|
|
|
Sun damage/aging of the skin
|
|
|

|
|

Sometimes, wrinkles on the face can be caused by multiple factors. In that case, we often recommend combination treatments. Here are a few examples:
| COMBINATION TREATMENTS | BEST SUITED FOR |
|---|---|
|
Patients with looseness/laxity and sun damage
|
|
|
Patients who desire no or limited downtime
|
|
|
HALO™ laser resurfacing, followed by injectables
|
Patients looking to improve lipstick/smoker’s lines
|
|
Medical-grade skin care and BroadBand Light™
|
Patients with sensitive skin/Patients with early skin aging/Patients looking to delay skin wrinkles
|
Regardless of the cause of wrinkles, we feel that patients universally benefit from a comprehensive skin care plan. This is because good daily skin care practices can prevent ongoing damage that contributes to skin aging and wrinkles.
