Over time, skin loses elasticity and collagen leading to the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on areas like the forehead, corners of the eyes, and around the mouth. Factors like sun exposure, genetics, and facial expressions can accelerate the development of wrinkles and fine lines making skin look dull, dry and aged.
Causes of Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Wrinkles and fine lines form as a result of both intrinsic and extrinsic aging processes.
Intrinsic aging is the natural decrease in elasticity and moisture that occurs as we get older. Collagen and elastin fibers become looser and more fragmented, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles especially around areas of facial movement.
Extrinsic factors like sun exposure, smoking, and pollution generate free radicals that break down collagen faster. UV radiation from the sun is a major contributor to premature wrinkles and age spots on exposed areas like the face, neck and hands.
Facial expressions and repetitive motions also cause wrinkles over time. Frowning, squinting, and pursing your lips lead to folded creases on the forehead, near the eyes (crow’s feet) and around the mouth (marionette lines). Even sleeping positions can encourage wrinkle formation.
Genetics play a role in how quickly wrinkles form. Ethnicity impacts collagen density and oil secretion. Drier skin types tend to develop fine lines earlier especially without proper moisturization. Your personal aging process depends on a mix of lifestyle habits, environmental factors and hereditary characteristics.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines Treatments
While wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of aging, our experienced doctor and treatments can help reduce their appearance and restore a more youthful, smooth complexion. Here are our wrinkles and fine lines treatment to help you look as young as you feel.
BTX
BTX injections relax facial muscles to smooth out existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. It's most commonly used on frown lines, crow's feet and forehead wrinkles. BTX results can last 5-6 months.
Fillers
Dermal fillers add volume to soften facial creases, wrinkles and lines. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide natural-looking results that can last up to a year. Popular injection areas include undereye, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, temple and forehead.
Sculptra
Sculptra consists of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), that replenishes lost collagen and improve skin texture. When injected into targeted areas, Sculptra stimulate collagen production over time and helps improve skin elasticity, and overall firmness.
Ellanse
When injected into the targeted areas, Ellanse not only fills and smoothens wrinkles and fine lines but also triggers the body's natural collagen production, which over time, form a scaffold, restoring volume and elasticity to the skin.
Skinbooster
Through micro-injections, skinboosters hydrate and plump the skin from within. This process not only helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles but also improves overall skin hydration, texture and elasticity.
FAQ for Wrinkles and Fine Lines Treatments
What procedure is best for fine lines and wrinkles?
For deeper wrinkles, BTX and dermal fillers/Ellanse tend to produce more obvious improvements. Superficial fine lines and wrinkles are better treated by skinboosters. Combination therapies are often recommended for optimal results.
Can you get rid of fine lines and wrinkles?
While nothing can permanently erase fine lines and wrinkles, today’s cosmetic treatments can significantly minimize their appearance. A customized regimen can reduce existing fine lines while also slowing the formation of new ones.
How do you get rid of fine lines and wrinkles without BTX?
Skinboosters such as RD1, Profhilo and Rejuran can improve skin hydration and texture, hence reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Is filler or laser better for fine lines?
Dermal fillers add volume and hydration for a smoother appearance. Lasers improve skin tone and reduce pigmentation. Frequent laser may cause dryness and sensitive skin. Hence, comparing the two, filler is better for fine lines.
Can BTX permanently remove wrinkles?
BTX results are temporary, lasting 5-6 months averagely. BTX is proven safe to be used in long term and it can soften the wrinkles and make you age better.
Do wrinkles come back stronger after BTX?
There is no evidence that BTX causes wrinkles to worsen or return with a “vengeance.” Maintaining regular BTX helps to soften the wrinkles and make the skin stay younger.
