Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are often the first noticeable signs of skin ageing, commonly appearing as: Crow’s feet, laughter lines, frown lines, forehead lines, nose-to-mouth lines (nasolabial folds) and lip lines.

Genetics and lifestyle choices can determine the rate at which this condition will develop, with many people starting to see shallow creases emerging around the age of 25 – 30. Collagen and elastin are proteins that exist naturally within the skin. As we get older these substances will start to diminish from the skin’s structure, causing it to lose it’s firm, full and youthfully moist appearance. These lines become deeper set and more prominent over time, as skin continues to weaken. Areas that are more exposed to the sun will often be the first places where lines and wrinkles will develop, as UV rays assist in the breakdown of collagen and elastin.

What causes  fine lines and wrinkles?

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural aging process. There are several factors to why we get lines and wrinkles such as:

  • Genetics and lifestyle choices can determine the rate at which this condition will develop, with many people starting to see shallow creases emerging around the age of 25 – 30.
  • Collagen and elastin are proteins that exist naturally within the skin begin to weaken and collagen production slows down. As we get older these substances will start to diminish from the skin’s structure, causing it to lose it’s firm, full and youthfully moist appearance. These lines become deeper set and more prominent over time, as elastin continues to weaken.
  • Sun exposure: areas that are more exposed to the sun will often be the first places where lines and wrinkles will develop, as UV rays assist in the breakdown of collagen and elastin. Sun beds increase fine lines and wrinkles due to the high UVA rays.
  • Genetics and lifestyle choices such as heavy alcohol intake, exposure to chemicals and smoking.

How to treat fine lines and wrinkles

There are many effective treatment options available to treat wrinkles. Treatments range from topical non-invasive procedures to surgical intervenion. Common treatments:

Why VIVA?

How do we treat fine lines and wrinkles with Botox?

Botox is injected into the facial muscle that is causing the fine line or wrinkle. Botox works by restricting muscle movement in the injected areas, helping soften fine lines and wrinkles over a period of time. Botox is not permanent and lasts up to 4 months and requires routine treatmnt to maintain results. By eleminating the muscle contractions, fine lines and wrinkles are not able to contract therefore stopping the lines from deepening. Botox is not a one off solution and other therapies may be required for desired wrinkle free results depending on the severity of the lines.

 

Where is Botox used on the face?

Botox is more commonly used in the upper portion of the face:

  • Forehead
  • Between the eyebrows
  • Crowsfeet or corner of the eyes

However its also used to treat many areas of the face sucha as:

  • Nasal flaring
  • Chin dimples
  • Jawline slimming
  • Lips for smokers lines
  • Lip flip
  • Corners of the mouth
  • Gummy smile

Botox has many uses for cosmetic purposes to enhance and soften features. When having Botox treatments it is recommended to seek a professional doctor, dentist or nurse as this is a prescribed treatment. At VIVA a face to face consultation is required to have any cosmetic procedure for suitability and medical screening.
