        What are Wrinkles?

        Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, presenting as fine lines and creases on the face and body. These lines can be exacerbated due to prolonged sun exposure, repeated facial expressions, genetics, environmental factors, and a lack of collagen production in the body that occurs naturally as we age.

        What is The Cost of Wrinkle Treatments?

        The cost of your wrinkle treatment will entirely depend on the treatment technique and type you choose, the severity of your concerns, and how many sessions you wish to attend. Along with creating a customized treatment plan to address your aging concerns, the Skin Matters team will answer any questions you may have during your consultation, especially those regarding the cost. 

        Wrinkle Treatments at Skin Matters

        Skin Matters offers a range of wrinkle-reduction treatments, including Botox® injections, Exilis, SkinVive, Thermage, and Morpheus8.

        Botox/Xeomin Injections
        Both Botox® and Xeomin are the most popular treatments for wrinkles in North America. The injections are administered via a small needle and can be done in as little as 15 minutes.
        Exilis
        Exilis uses both ultrasound and radio-frequency technology to tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles, sagging, the appearance of cellulite, and can even improve areas of unwanted fat. This treatment is conducted in a non-invasive way to improve the overall texture of the skin.
        SkinVive - Micro-droplet Treatment
        Mesotherapy is an injectable procedure using pure Hyaluronic acid (SkinVive by Juvederm) to promote skin rejuvenation and skin tightening. It can also improve the texture and overall skin quality. 
        Thermage
        Thermage is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment that will help improve the appearance of sagging or loose skin, giving you a firmer, smoother and younger look and feel. 
        Morpheus 8
        The Morpheus8 treatment uses silicone-coated needles to go beneath the skin and deliver a pulse of radiofrequency energy that tightens loose tissue, reduces unwanted fat, and increases the elasticity of the skin.
        Ultherapy
        Ultherapy is a unique treatment for non-surgical skin tightening, using ultrasound energy to lift and tighten skin while boosting natural collagen production.

        What Causes Wrinkles?

        Wrinkles can be caused by:

        • Repeated facial movements.
        • Aging.
        • Prolonged sun exposure, especially if not protected by SPF.
        • Genetics.
        • Environmental factors, such as pollution.
        • A lack of collagen and elastin produced in the body.
        • A lack of hydration.
        • Cigarettes and alcohol.
        • Stress and a lack of sleep.

        Types of Wrinkles 

        There are two main types of facial wrinkles: static and dynamic. Repeated facial expressions cause dynamic wrinkles, so you don’t notice them until you’re older. When collagen production decreases in our bodies, dynamic wrinkles become more permanent, ultimately becoming static wrinkles.

        Static wrinkles stay on your face even when your face is in a neutral state. These wrinkles begin in your 30s and deepen over time.

        Areas Affected by Wrinkles

        Some of the most prominent areas affected by wrinkles include:

        • The forehead.
        • Around the mouth (marionette lines).
        • Around the nose (bunny lines).
        • Around the eyes (crow’s feet).
        • From the nose to the mouth (nasolabial folds or “smile/frown lines”).
        • On or around the lips.
        • Between the eyebrows (“elevens”). 

        Risks and Side Effects of Wrinkle Treatments

        Some risks associated with dermal fillers and radiofrequency wrinkle treatments include:

        • Temporary redness, tenderness, bruising, and swelling.
        • Pain, numbness, and headaches.

        Many of these side effects will subside within a few hours, and none should last more than a few days. If they do, contact the Skin Matters team or your doctor as soon as possible.

        Benefits of Removing Wrinkles

        Some benefits of our wrinkle removing treatments include:

        • A decreased appearance of wrinkles, blemishes, dark spots, and fine lines to give you a more youthful look.
        • Same-day results when treated with injectable filler.
        • Low discomfort treatments that often take under an hour.
        • Minimally to non-invasive options that rejuvenate your skin.

        Wrinkle Treatments FAQs

        What is the best treatment to get rid of deep wrinkles? 

        To determine the best treatment for your wrinkle concerns, book a consultation with the Skin Matters team. Together, we will create a customized treatment plan to reduce signs of aging, no matter how severe. However, you should be aware that the deeper your wrinkles are, the more complex your treatment plan assessment could be.

        When age do wrinkles begin to show?

        Wrinkles can begin to show as early as your 20s and as late as your 40s - they can be visible depending on various factors.

        How to prevent wrinkles? 

        Whether you’re in your twenties or thirties and want to take preventative measures or have more mature skin and want to protect your results after a treatment, there are some precautions you can take to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Some measures you can take include:

        • Apply SPF repeatedly throughout the day and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
        • Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
        • Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet and hydrate throughout the day.
        • Maintain a consistent, moisturizing skin care regimen. Incorporate antioxidants, Vitamin C, and
        • Vitamin A when possible.
        • Get plenty of sleep.

        Can wrinkles come back after treatment?

        Yes, wrinkles are an inevitable part of the aging process and will eventually return after a good amount of time. However, Skin Matters wrinkle treatments are a great way to slow down the aging process and prevent deepening of wrinkles from coming back too quickly.
