Worried about those Worry Lines?

Aging may not be something that you worry much about. It happens to all of us. But looking older thanks to lines and wrinkles on the forehead? This could be when you take notice and decide that aging is something you want more control over. Worry lines and furrowed brows are two common problems that make men and women appear older than they really are. Fortunately, there are several ways to correct these signs of aging, and some don’t involve surgery!

Botox or Dysport
Both of these products are categorized as neuromodulators. Prior to cosmetic use, the ingredient in Botox was used therapeutically, and it still is. Safe and effective, wrinkle treatment with a neuromodulator produces quick results (within about a week) that last for months at a time.

Microneedling
One of the issues behind the formation of lines and wrinkles is a substantial drop in the amount of collagen that is stored beneath the skin. Collagen fibers enable the skin to remain resilient and firm. This protein goes hand in hand with elastin, which is what gives skin its ability to “rebound.” Age, stress, sun exposure, and other factors all lead to the breakdown of this matrix. Microneedling is a convenient, non-surgical method of coaxing more collagen into the skin. Results from treatment are progressive, and treatment may be repeated every few months.
