Fine lines are often one of the first signs of aging. Appearing around the mouth, eyes, and forehead, these are a natural part of the natural aging process—but that doesn’t mean you can’t do something about them. You can visit a skilled esthetician for a consultation where they can determine the right approach to help you get rid of your fine lines.
Here at Elevate Eyes and Medical Esthetics, we may recommend:
- Dermal fillers
- Neuromodulator injections
- Microneedling
- IPL
- Radio frequency
- Nonsurgical eyelifts
After your consultation, we can combine several treatments to help you gain a look you’ll love.
What Causes Fine Lines?
Fine lines are shallow creases that form on the surface of the skin. They develop due to the body’s natural aging process where our skin begins losing elasticity and the ability to retain moisture. This leads to new lines forming in areas where your skin constantly creases—especially when you have a habit of frowning or smiling.
These lines become worse due to:
- Excessive UV exposure
- Dehydration
- Smoking and tobacco usage
- Poor diet or nutrition
- Repeated facial expressions
Over the years, these lines become more and more noticeable. However, there is good news. With the help of a skilled esthetician, you can effectively reduce—or even totally remove—these lines. So how is this done?
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a simple and effective solution to fine lines. This injection-based treatment is designed to add volume to the skin and smooth out creases, made from a special acid already naturally found in the skin, making dermal fillers a safe answer to fine lines.
The results are almost immediate, typically appearing after a few minutes, and can last anywhere between 6 months to 2 years depending on your skin type and care routine. If you notice your results starting to fade, you can return to your nurse or medical esthetician to repeat the process.
Neuromodulator Injections
Neuromodulator injections are another highly effective method for reducing fine lines. Usually, Botox is recommended, though there are alternatives.
These treatments work by temporarily relaxing certain facial muscles and stopping the repetitive motions that create fine lines. Neuromodulators block nerve signals to the targeted area, reducing muscle activity for a short period of time to soften the existing lines.
This treatment is entirely safe when administered by a trained nurse, and is quick—usually only taking around 15 minutes and requiring no downtime. You can expect your results to last for several months, making neuromodulator injections a popular and convenient option for reducing fine lines.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a refined and innovative treatment designed to utilize the body’s natural healing process. To do so, minuscule fine needles are used to penetrate the skin, creating micro-tears in the deeper layers.
This controlled process quickly quickstarts collagen production—the natural protein responsible for skin’s firmness. This results in smoother, firmer skin that offers a more youthful appearance.
Microneedling can be combined with other treatments to give you the benefits of both, making it an extremely effective option.
IPL
Intense pulsed light, or IPL, is a non-invasive in-office treatment that utilizes gentle amounts of light to stimulate the skin. This targets deeper layers of the skin without damaging the surface, kick-starting your natural collagen production to begin the body’s natural healing process.
This also promotes the regeneration of new cells, making it an ideal way to deal with all kinds of different skin problems. Though it often takes several sessions to see results, IPL offers a long-lasting way to gain a smoother and more youthful appearance.
Radio Frequency
Radio frequency treatment uses electromagnetic waves to reach the deeper layers of the skin. This non-invasive treatment is excellent for reducing fine lines and wrinkles to help you achieve a smooth, youthful, and plump appearance.
This is a relaxing and comfortable treatment that often offers fast results, safely promoting higher levels of collagen while providing a therapeutic experience. Radio frequency treatment is usually combined with microneedling to offer a smooth, effective, and relaxing way to remove your fine lines.
Non-Surgical Eyelifts
Non-surgical eyelifts are a sophisticated treatment designed to give quick results. It’s a non-invasive way to achieve a brighter, younger appearance without worrying about committing to surgical approaches.
This treatment uses plasma energy to gently target specific skin cells and contract the surface of your skin. Meanwhile, it helps restore elasticity to your skin, giving you a tighter and plumper appearance while removing wrinkles, age lines, and more.
At Elevate Eyes and Medical Esthetics, we also use the Plexr Plus plasma pen which works on the same concept of using plasma energy to reduce wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth. The process involves a tiny plasma arc that gently vaporizes targeted skin cells and stimulates collagen production to tighten the skin.
With a non-surgical eyelift, you can expect minimal downtime and a more personalized approach to your esthetic needs. Your esthetician will discuss your goals and assess the right approach to help you achieve your desired look.
