What causes wrinkles and fine lines?

Facial lines and wrinkles are part of the natural aging process. As you get older, collagen and elastin in your skin begin to break down. These are proteins that give your skin its shape and firmness.

Other factors can contribute to lines and wrinkles, including:

Repetitive muscle movements
Sun damage
Smoking
Acne

Wrinkles and fine lines become deeper over time; they may eventually leave your face with an unintended, negative expression.

What are the different types of injectable wrinkle treatments?

Various injectable options reduce the appearance of wrinkles using different approaches. Some of the options available at Eterna Vein & Medical Aesthetics include:

BOTOX, Dysport & Daxxify
These injections are both designed to relax your facial muscles. Botox and Dysport are similar in longevity and effects, but like all medications, can differ from patient to patient. Neither medication will prevent you from making natural expressions or create a “frozen look.”

Dermal Fillers
Juvéderm®, Juvéderm Voluma, and Restylane products are Hyaluronic Acid, while Radiesse is Calcium Hydroxylapatite; all formulated to increase volume in the areas where they are injected, and to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines for ageless-looking skin.

How long will my results last?

This depends on which treatment you choose, and the individual characteristics of your skin.

The following are general estimates for the different treatment options:

BOTOX: 3-6 months
Dysport: 3-6 months
Daxxify: 6-9 months
Dermal fillers: depending on the product, 3-18 months

What are the risks of injections for wrinkles and lines?

Each treatment option is FDA-approved and considered to be low risk; however, there is some mild risk associated with any kind of injection. The knowledgeable team at Eterna Vein & Medical Aesthetics will go over all benefits, risks, and possible side effects with you before your treatment, so you can make an informed decision as to which approach will be best for your unique needs and treatment goals.
