Ageing of Skin Wrinkles

Ageing skin is associated with a range of cosmetic concerns- from a loss of dermal collagen and elastic tissue to a loss of structural integrity, dehydration of cells to weakening of the skin leading to different type of wrinkles.

There are two broad types of wrinkles:

Static wrinkles- are those facial lines that are evident when our face is at rest, thus constantly visible.
Dynamic wrinkles appear when the face is animated. They are caused by facial expressions and repetitive facial expressions.

Treatment options for static wrinkles include- injectable fillers, laser rejuvenation treatments, derma rollers, mesotherapy, platelet rich plasma therapy and chemical peeling.

Injectable botox is generally used for treatment of dynamic wrinkles. It acts as a muscle relaxant.
