Aging of the skin is a complex and multifactorial process that leads to wrinkles, laxity and other esthetic changes. Internal factors include genetics, diet, and hormone levels. External factors are caused by cumulative environmental damage, largely due to UV exposure (sun tanning). Sunblocks containing both UVA and UVB protection are important.

Wrinkles that appear when there is muscle movement are considered dynamic wrinkles. These are caused by frowning of the forehead or between the eyes (glabella). This is best treated with Botox, which causes the muscles to relax.

Wrinkles that are seen when the face is relaxed or without expression, are considered static wrinkles. They appear as creases or furrows within the skin. These are better treated with fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse, and Juvederm. Fillers are generally placed in the dermis and deep dermis to lift up and support the wrinkles. They are great for placing in the nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth) The appearance of superficial wrinkles can also be reduced with chemical peels and resurfacing lasers such as Fraxel. Results are better when various treatment modalities are combined.
