No one can stop the aging process – and fine lines and wrinkles are part of getting older. However, you don't have to live with them. But surgery isn't the only option available.
At his practice in Boca Raton, Florida, Dr. Anthony N. Dardano offers fillers and injectables, as well as TempSure® and PRP facials, to diminish fine lines and improve your skin.
He's an experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon who offers a range of nonsurgical treatments for wrinkles and fine lines.
Fine lines are the first signs of aging to appear on your skin. They affect only the epidermis and are a precursor to deeper wrinkles later.
Some people don't care much about developing fine lines, while others are embarrassed to show signs of age. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do to prevent aging.
Fine lines usually appear in skin folds. In fact, they're common on the forehead, around the mouth, and around the eyes. Some fine lines are difficult to see, while others are more pronounced.
Aging and collagen loss are prominent causes of fine lines, but your lifestyle also plays a role. Too much sun exposure, a poor diet, smoking, and stress all cause fine lines to form, sometimes prematurely.
Everyone will have fine lines at some point as they age – but you don't have to live with them. If surgery isn't an option but you still want a younger appearance and natural results, we have a few nonsurgical options.
In conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and good skin care routine, the following four treatments are highly successful at treating fine lines:
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore facial volume and eliminate signs of aging. There are various types available, with the most natural option being hyaluronic acid fillers.
The advantage of dermal fillers is that they last much longer than injectables and deliver a stunning appearance after a single treatment.
Botox® is an excellent treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. It's a purified form of the bacterium that causes food poisoning that's safe for injection into the skin.
Botox works by temporarily paralyzing muscles and preventing nerve signals from reaching them. The result is a relaxed appearance and smoother, youthful skin, free of fine lines and wrinkles.
PRP is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation and the elimination of embarrassing fine lines. It utilizes your body's natural healing cells – platelets – to simulate new cell growth and healthier, firmer skin.
The PRP facial is a great way to eliminate signs of aging. We use microneedling to deliver PRP into your skin.
After a simple blood draw, we numb the skin and begin microneedling. The microtrauma from microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production.
We then spread the PRP on your face to get it into the tiny punctures from microneedling. Over the next few weeks, the platelets go to work stimulating new cell growth and enhancing the health of your skin.
The TempSure Envi system is a great option if you want stunning results without the downtime of plastic surgery. In fact, it's often called a nonsurgical facelift.
The system uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat the cells in the dermis. The gentle heat induces microtrauma, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Within a few days of the procedure, you should start to notice tighter skin and fewer fine lines and wrinkles. As the body continues to repair the skin, you'll notice more results over the weeks to months after treatment.
