        What are Wrinkles?

        Wrinkles are a natural part of the skin aging process, appearing as fine lines and deeper creases on the face and body. Factors like sun damage, repeated facial expressions, genetics, and environmental pollutants can worsen the appearance of wrinkles. Over time, our skin produces less collagen and elastin, causing it to lose elasticity and firmness. Preventing wrinkles involves protecting the skin from harmful UV rays, maintaining hydration, and following a regular skincare routine.

        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 neuromodulator injections like Botox®, Exilis™ Radio Frequency skin tightening, SkinVive™, Thermage®, and Morpheus8. These treatments are designed to not only reduce and prevent deepening of wrinkles but also restore youthful skin, enhancing your overall appearance.

        Neuromodulator Injections

        Skin Matters offers only top of the line industry leading brands for neuromodulator injections; Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Nuceiva. The injections are administered via a small needle and can be done in as little as 15 minutes.

        Exilis™

        Exilis™ uses a combination of both ultrasound and radio-frequency technology to tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles, sagging, improve the appearance of cellulite, and can even reduce 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

        Micro-droplet therapy is an injectable procedure using pure Hyaluronic acid (SkinVive™ by Juvederm) to promote improved skin health 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. Annual treatments can prevent and even slow the process of skin laxity and formation of wrinkles.

        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 deep layers within the skin while boosting natural collagen production.

        What Causes Wrinkles?

        Wrinkles can be caused by:

        • Repeated facial movements: Constant muscle movement causes lines to form on the skin.
        • Aging: As the skin ages, collagen and elastin production decreases, leading to skin aging and the formation of fine wrinkles.
        • Prolonged sun exposure: Sun damage accelerates the breakdown of collagen, making the skin more prone to wrinkling. Wearing protective clothing and using sunscreen can help reduce this risk.
        • Genetics: Your genes play a significant role in how your skin ages.
        • Environmental factors: Pollution and environmental toxins can damage the skin and worsen wrinkles.
        • Lack of hydration: Dehydrated skin is less elastic, which can make fine wrinkles more noticeable.
        • Lifestyle choices: Smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, and lack of sleep can all contribute to the early appearance of wrinkles.

        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

        Wrinkles can form in various areas of the face and body, and each requires specific treatment to achieve the best results. Here’s how we treat common wrinkle-prone areas at Skin Matter:

        • Smile lines (Nasolabial folds): The deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Botox® or dermal fillers can help restore lost volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles in this area.
        • Marionette lines: These lines extend from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. Dermal fillers are often the best approach to smooth these wrinkles and improve skin tone.
        • Forehead wrinkles: Horizontal lines caused by repetitive facial movements like raising your eyebrows. Botulinum toxin injections are highly effective for reducing these lines.
        • Frown lines (Glabellar lines): Vertical lines between the eyebrows, commonly referred to as frown lines or "11 lines." These are best treated with botulinum toxin to relax the muscles and smooth out the wrinkles.
        • Crow's feet (Laugh lines): These fine wrinkles appear at the corners of the eyes. Botox® injections or SkinVive treatments can help soften these lines and reduce fine wrinkles in this delicate area.
        • Tear trough: Dermal fillers can restore volume and smooth the skin in the hollow under the eyes.
        • Neck wrinkles: Horizontal lines and sagging skin on the neck. Treatments like Ultherapy and Exilis can tighten the skin, improving the appearance of wrinkles.
        • Bunny lines (Nose wrinkles): Small lines on the bridge of the nose. Botox® can effectively smooth out these wrinkles.
        • Lip wrinkles (Vertical lip lines): Fine lines around the mouth, often caused by smoking or sun exposure. Dermal fillers and SkinVive can improve these lines and restore smoothness.

        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, however, Morpheus8 can have prolonged redness up to 3-5 days. Fillers and Skinvive can leave bruising for up to a week. 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? 

        Book a consultation with the Skin Matters team to determine the best treatment for your wrinkle concerns. 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? 

        Preventing wrinkles is easier when you incorporate certain lifestyle habits and skincare measures into your routine:

        • Wear protective clothing: Shielding your skin from harmful UV rays with clothing and hats helps prevent sun damage.
        • Apply SPF regularly: Use sunscreen with broad-spectrum protection every day.
        • Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to maintain skin elasticity.
        • Eat a balanced diet: Foods rich in antioxidants and vitamins help protect your skin from environmental damage.
        • Avoid smoking and alcohol: Both smoking and excessive drinking accelerate skin aging and contribute to wrinkle formation.
        • Moisturize daily: Keep your skin hydrated to maintain its firmness and elasticity.
        • Get enough sleep: Proper rest allows your skin to repair itself, preventing early signs of aging.

        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 prevent the deepening of wrinkles from coming back too quickly.
