Wrinkle Reduction Treatment in San Antonio

What Causes Wrinkles?

Wrinkles are caused by the loss of collagen beneath the skin surface. Collagen is a basic building block of the skin and provides the foundation that supports your skin's structure. Overall, exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunlight accounts for about 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging, and most of these effects occur by age 20. Collagen is also damaged by other factors, including: the natural aging process, cigarette smoking, and air pollution. When this happens, the skin appears thinner and becomes less elastic, resulting in facial lines, wrinkles, texture changes, and visible signs of aging.

Solutions

Botox
Botox® is especially helpful for forehead and “crows feet” lines which are “dynamic”, or caused by expression. It can prevent these wrinkles from becoming “etched” in the skin surface and becoming “static” wrinkles or ones that show without any expression. It is the best prevention for a forehead that is starting to show some signs of age and has uses on many other areas of the face as well.
