How to Smooth Out Wrinkles

Wrinkles are one of the most commonly detested facets of growing older

. Luckily, a variety of anti-aging procedures are available at your Austin cosmetic dermatology clinic, letting your appearance match your vitality in youthfulness.

BOTOX



BOTOX represents possibly the most popular wrinkle-reducing technology on the market today. It affects the muscles which create motion in the face, such as frown lines. By impeding those muscles, the motion of frowning cannot occur in the forehead, creating a smooth plain where there normally would be wrinkles and lines.

Thermage



Thermage also smoothes the skin, but it can be used anywhere on the body. When skin begins to sag and wrinkles develop, the collagen under the skin has become wobbly and loose. Thermage sends radiofrequencies into the skin, straightening the collagen back out and thus, smoothing the skin which lies on top of it. Thermage naturally rejuvenates both body and facial skin.

Dermal Fillers

Such brands as Juvederm and Restylane are particularly designed to plump out indented skin. For severely deep wrinkles, dermal fillers inject hyaluronic acid below the affected area. Then, it pushes out the indented area, making the skin above look smooth and tight. Dermal fillers may also be used to plump up lips in certain situations.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Exfoliation helps remove wrinkles by sanding away surface cells and encouraging new growth. During laser skin resurfacing, your Austin cosmetic dermatologist uses a CO2 laser to soften the skin. Since the laser essentially burns away the top layer of skin, it is considered a fairly invasive procedure which requires some downtime to heal over with new skin. It affects wrinkles, scars and sun damage on patients' hands and faces.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels, such as the B-LIFTx, also resurface the skin. However, they use chemicals instead of lasers to exfoliate and revitalize. Since the medium is different, peels are less invasive than laser skin resurfacing. Although this means shorter recovery time, it also means less effect on severe wrinkles.

If you're tired of wrinkles on your previously smooth skin, schedule a consultation with Zimmet Vein & Dermatology. Austin's cosmetic dermatologist, Dr. Zimmet, will help you determine which skin care technique will best address your skin care needs.
