Several wrinkle treatment options are available to help smooth wrinkles or make them less noticeable.
What Causes Wrinkles?
Factors that promote wrinkling include:
- Smoking
- Skin type (people with light-colored skin and blue eyes are more susceptible to sun damage)
- Heredity (some families wrinkle more)
- Sun exposure
Though you can’t control all of those factors, you can do something about two of them: Minimize your sun exposure and don’t smoke.
Botox
Botox is the best-known injectable used in anti-wrinkle treatment.
Does Botox hurt?
The pain has been described as similar to that of an ant bite, lasting for a few seconds.
How long does Botox last?
The effects of Botox facial injections typically last three to four months, but they can last longer with ongoing treatment.
Fillers
A filler treatment with hyaluronic acid is safe, gives no irritation and offers a fantastic result in wrinkle reduction or even the filling of lips.
How long do fillers last?
Hyaluronic acid fillers last six to 12 months; synthetic fillers such as Radiesse 12 to 18 months. Fat transfers (where your own body fat is extracted from another body part, processed and injected into your face) can sometimes last several years, though there’s a chance the fat won’t stay long and will be reabsorbed back into the body.
Do fillers hurt?
The injections hurt, and the pain will vary depending on the patient and the area being injected. In places like the nasolabial area there may be a slight short-term burning. Anaesthetic is generally used for the lips, as the injections cause a burning and stinging that is intolerable for most.
Laser treatments
Do you suffer from acne scars, a gray face or wrinkles? A medical laser treatment ensures skin rejuvenation and a fresh appearance. Effective and safe.
We offer various wrinkle treatments, with and without injectables (fillers and Botox). You are welcome for a skin analysis.
