Is wrinkle reduction possible without surgery?

Wrinkle reduction, the process of removing the skin’s fine lines and creases, can effectively smooth your skin and promote a more youthful appearance without surgery. As you age, your skin naturally loses the collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid that keeps it tight and responsive. Its structure starts to break down, causing the skin to thin, sag, and wrinkle.

While cosmetic procedures, such as a facelift, are long-term solutions for aging skin, Rejive Medical Aesthetics offers many nonsurgical alternatives to rejuvenate your appearance without extensive downtime, pain, or risk.

What are the most effective wrinkle-reduction treatments?

Rejive Medical Aesthetics offers several effective wrinkle reduction treatments, including:

Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are injectable medications that temporarily block the nerve signals that control muscle contractions, causing the wrinkles on top to soften. 

Rejive Medical Aesthetics offers Botox® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Xeomin®. Each neuromodulator has unique pros and cons. While Botox is the most popular injectable, Dysport may be more suitable for larger treatment areas. Meanwhile, Xeomin may last longer in some individuals. 

A comprehensive evaluation is essential to determine which neuromodulator is right for your needs.

Dermal fillers

Dermal fillers involve injecting gel-like substances, such as hyaluronic acid, beneath the skin to fill in wrinkles, define facial contours, and plump up the skin. The aesthetics clinic offers several different types, including Juvéderm® and Restylane®

Sculptra® 

Sculptra is a type of dermal filler made of poly-L-lactic acid, a substance that stimulates new collagen production. The plumping results last even after the filler material is fully absorbed. Sculptra is a good fit for smoothing both fine lines and deep wrinkles.  

Laser treatments

Laser treatments, such as Lutronic’s Clarity II, can help rejuvenate the skin’s appearance and smooth out wrinkles and folds.

Microneedling

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, involves creating micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen. New collagen tightens and smooths the skin to reduce wrinkles. The practice offers traditional and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling to tailor your treatment to your needs.

Chemical peels

Glycolic acid and VI Peel® treatments reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by carefully removing the skin’s surface layer.

How long does wrinkle reduction last?

The duration of wrinkle reduction depends on the type of treatment you choose. Most neuromodulators last 3-6 months, while fillers can remain effective for 6-12 months. Laser treatments and microneedling often deliver lasting results for six months or longer. Assessing your skin needs is essential to recommend the appropriate treatment.
