Almost everyone deals with facial wrinkles as they age. In general, aesthetic professionals divide facial wrinkles into two categories: dynamic and static. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as smiling, frowning, or squinting; meanwhile, static wrinkles are often a result of the natural aging process, which can make the skin lose elasticity and collagen over time. Both static and dynamic wrinkles can contribute to a patient looking – and feeling – older than they really are.
While some patients pursue surgical procedures to address wrinkles, those with less pronounced signs of aging may find they are better suited for less intensive (i.e., non-surgical) options. At Chrysalis Cosmetics, Dr. Charles Perry offers several minimally invasive procedures to keep your complexion looking smooth and refreshed. Below, we have compiled a list of the most popular non-surgical wrinkle treatments available at our practice.
- Neurotoxin injectables – Neuromodulators like BOTOX® Cosmetic and DAXXIFY™ are specially formulated to combat dynamic wrinkles. They contain an ingredient called botulinum toxin A, which can temporarily prevent muscles from contracting and causing signs of facial aging.*
- JUVÉDERM® Collection – The sought-after JUVÉDERM® family of dermal fillers can add volume to areas of the face that have lost fullness over time; in other words, they can be an excellent solution for static wrinkles. In many cases, JUVÉDERM® injections can be combined with BOTOX® Cosmetic for optimal effects.*
- Laser treatments – In addition to the injectable treatments mentioned above, our team at Chrysalis Cosmetics can use advanced lasers to reduce the severity of wrinkles. For instance, the HALO™ Hybrid Fractional Laser can target both the superficial and deep skin layers, ergo improving overall skin texture. Meanwhile, a BBL™ Forever Young® PhotoFacial can stimulate the skin at a cellular level, leading to long-term improvement in skin quality and appearance.
Whether you’re dealing with dynamic or static wrinkles, Dr. Perry and the rest of our team are excited to work with you to form a non-surgical treatment plan. To get started, contact Chrysalis Cosmetics today!
*New Injections Policy
While Dr. Perry performs many of our injectable treatments, his surgery schedule continues to grow and he wants to make injectable procedures as convenient as possible for our patients. This is why many of our injectable treatments will be performed by our extensively trained and highly skilled nurse injectors. If patients specifically request to see Dr. Perry for injectable appointments, there may be a delay of at least one month, and the treatment will require a minimum of one of these options:
- A) 50 units of BOTOX® Cosmetic and two syringes of a dermal filler solution
- B) Three syringes of a dermal filler solution
- C) An MD injection fee of $200 if the patient is only receiving BOTOX® Cosmetic or less than three syringes of a dermal filler solution
