DIFFERENT POKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS. NOT ALL WRINKLE TREATMENTS ARE CREATED EQUALLY.

Forehead wrinkles are one of the most common complaints women and men have about their skin as we age. Wrinkles are caused by a combination of sun damage, dehydration, lack of sleep, a loss of collagen, and stress. When it comes to treating wrinkles, we offer a variety of options. With nearly 40 years of experience and the safest most effective cosmetic treatments available, we’re confident you will love your results, no matter the severity of your wrinkles.

Treating Static Wrinkles

To combat static wrinkles, we use a variety of dermal fillers. Dermal fillers restore lost volume to the treated area by boosting collagen production. Read more.

Here are some key points about collagen. More from: Medical News Today.

  • Collagen occurs throughout the body, but especially in the skin, bones, and connective tissues.
  • Some types of collagen fibrils, gram-for-gram, are stronger than steel.
  • Collagen production declines with age and exposure to factors such as smoking and UV light.
  • Collagen can be used in collagen dressings, to attract new skin cells to wound sites.
  • Cosmetic lotions that claim to increase collagen levels are unlikely to do so, as collagen molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin.

Treating Dynamic Wrinkles

To combat dynamic wrinkles, we use neuromodulators. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by muscle movement in repeated facial expressions. Neuromodulators are tiny proteins that temporarily block nerve signals, when injected into muscle they limit contraction of the muscles giving the face a much smoother, relaxed look. Botox, Dysport and Juveau are your allies in the war on dynamic wrinkles and they’re excellent for minimizing the appearance of:

  • Laugh lines
  • Frown lines
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Crows feet
  • Bunny wrinkles
  • Other rogue wrinkles caused by facial muscles
