Wrinkles

What  is a wrinkle? 

With time, exposure  to the sun and other elements,  skin components  break down. The  skin loses structure  and volume. Unwelcome  lines and wrinkles appear. Healthcare professionals now can correct wrinkles and facial folds, reversing  the signs of aging. 

How  are wrinkles corrected? 

Adding structure  and volume underneath  and bringing sunken  skin back up  to the surface can smooth the appearance  of wrinkles and facial folds. This is done by various treatments; some  of your options include Erbium, Fraxel, and various injectibles. 

Erbium delivers deep wrinkle treatment that delivers up  to 3 joules per pulse; with  the Erbium technology a physician has more depth control and less skin trauma. This treatment allows  for a much faster recovery time  and is available for all  skin types. 

Fraxel® Laser Treatment is designed  to target aging and damaged  skin by creating microscopic "wounds" within  the targeted areas well beneath  the skin's outermost layer. In this way, Fraxel® Laser treatments trigger  the body's own natural production of new collagen and  skin cells. And because Fraxel® Laser Treatment combines  the impact of ablative lasers with  the gentleness of non-ablative lasers, healing occurs so quickly that there  is very little downtime for patients
