DEEP WRINKLES

Deep wrinkles form as collagen breaks down and the skin becomes structurally weakened.  Contracting muscles by smiling, frowning and gesturing can also create deep grooves in our skin.  These processes can create deep lines extending from the nose to the edge of the mouth, (nasolabial folds), worry lines on the forehead, frown lines, crow's feet and lines at the edge of the mouth called marionette lines.

Wrinkles are classified by their response to facial expression.  Dynamic wrinkles worsen with facial muscle contraction; static wrinkles are present even when the muscles are relaxed.  These two types of wrinkles are treated very differently.

Collagen and Juvederm injections are a wonderful means of filling in deeper static lines, such as nasolabial folds.

Dynamic wrinkles, such as those apparent with smiling or frowning, often respond magically to Botox.  Botox can also help to prevent the etching of new wrinkles into the skin by relaxing overactive facial muscles.
