Wrinkles

 

Wrinkles are a fact of life. As Mark Twain said, “wrinkles merely indicate where smiles have been”.

At Virginia Square Dermatology, we firmly believe that it is OK to have wrinkles.

However, softening (and sometimes eliminating) certain wrinkles can help one appear more youthful and feel more confident.

We employ a variety of techniques to help patients achieve natural-looking results.

What causes wrinkles?

Many factors lead to the formation of wrinkles:

  • Repetitive muscle movements like frowning, raising your eyebrows, and smiling

  • Loss of bone, fat, collagen, and elastin 

  • Exposure to ultraviolet light, smoking, pollution, chemotherapy, and other chemicals 

  • Poor nutrition and sleep

How can wrinkles be improved?

During your cosmetic consultation, we will conduct a thorough examination to assess the degree, location, and cause of certain wrinkles. Treatments can include:

  • Botox, Dysport, Xeomin (Neurotoxins) 

  • Chemical peels

  • Dermal fillers

  • Fraxel laser

  • Microneedling

  • Sun protection and topical medications
