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.
Laser Wrinkle Reduction
Laser Wrinkle Reduction is a revolutionary treatment that softens fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck and hands, and improves the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. Our newest laser the Syneron Matrix IR™ is the most advanced laser for fine and deep wrinkles especially around the eyes. It is the first laser to combine fractional optical energy with radio frequency for deep dermal heating and collagen remodeling. The laser energy bypasses the epidermis and targets the dermal layer beneath the skins surface where collagen production is stimulated. This in turn thickens the dermis and raises the wrinkled area. Simultaneously, hyaluronic acid is triggered and stimulated to hydrate the skin. This works to improve the youthful appearance and suppleness of the skin. Radiance is the only location in the area with this newest technology!
