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
