The Most Common Facial Wrinkles and How to Fade Them
Wrinkles aren’t very original when it comes to their location on the face. Meaning, they typically develop in the same spots for the majority of the population. In a way, it can be comforting to know that a large group of people also have similar cosmetic concerns that can be met with realistic and effective solutions. To give you a better understanding of this process, we’re going to dive into details about the most common facial wrinkles and how they can be faded by Dr. John LeRoy’s advanced cosmetic treatments.
The common pattern of facial wrinkles
Wrinkles are primarily formed by a combination of prolonged sun-exposure, repeated facial expressions, and collagen depletion. For most people, they often emerge in the same three places. These types of wrinkles cause a person to look more aged. Dr. John LeRoy’s goal is to help patients look as young as they feel because age is really just a number.
Types and treatments for facial wrinkles
“Crow’s feet” is a nickname for the fine lines that branch from the corner of the eye that have a resemblance to the shape of a bird’s feet. They can deepen with frequent smiling over time. Since smiling is a necessary and welcomed activity, there are treatments that fade crow’s feet so you can express yourself with less consequences. One of the most popular approaches is with Botox® and Dysport® injections. These quick and easy nonsurgical cosmetic procedures safely fade crow’s feet by relaxing specific facial muscles that create these wrinkles, causing them to relax and smooth out.
Forehead wrinkles can start to appear as early as a person’s 20s. Botox® and Dysport® also work for this region of the face, but patients have additional options at Dr. John LeRoy’s office. For some, an alternative to cosmetic injectables is a Brow Lift, which repositions the brow as well as relaxing forehead wrinkles by tightening the surrounding muscles. This causes the forehead to look less wrinkled and sagged. For more refined and subtle results, he can perform his own signature Band Aid Brow Lift that targets less prominent wrinkles.
The Midface, an area extending from the corners of the eyes to the corners of the mouth, can also develop more prominent wrinkles over time. To single out this part of the face, a facelift is often the right fit. This method for reducing facial wrinkles and repositioning facial tissue produces long-lasting and natural-looking results. With over three decades of experience, Dr. John LeRoy has helped thousands of patients take control of their look with this procedure. For more subtle results, he performs his very own Band Aid Face Lift. Just like his other Band Aid options, this procedure is performed in-office with gentle numbing.
