What is the best treatment for wrinkles?

Where do facial and static wrinkles come from?

The skin aging process is quite complex and has an individual course. Much depends on your lifestyle, including diet, body weight and physical activity. It also matters whether we smoke, drink the right amount of water throughout the day and whether we properly protect our skin from sunlight. Aging is an inherent process that occurs in every body. Its first symptoms are wrinkles, but also skin dryness, reduced elasticity and sagging of the epidermis. 

Speaking of wrinkles, there are two types: 

• facial expressions (myostasis),
• static.

The first, as the name suggests, is related to facial expressions, which are very dynamic every day. When we smile, wrinkle our forehead or squint our eyes, the facial muscles (and we have as many as 54 of these facial muscles) cause the dermis to contract and contract. Over time, the lines of repeated emotion become more and more visible, which can be seen most quickly in the eye area (in the lateral corners of the eye the so-called crow's feet are marked), on the forehead and between the eyebrows (vertical interbrow wrinkles, the so-called lion's wrinkles) and at the level of the nose and mouth.

‍Mimic wrinkles appear at different ages, but the first ones can be noticed around 20-25 years of age. Static (structural) wrinkles, on the other hand, are formed on top of existing facial wrinkles (they are, as it were, a fixation of them). To better understand their essence, you can compare them to folds on a piece of paper - even if you straighten the paper, the folds remain visible.

Static wrinkles appear later than facial wrinkles and may be accompanied by hyperpigmentation. Their formation has to do with the weakening of collagen and elastin fibers, as well as a decrease in water in the body's cells. This translates into the condition of the skin, which becomes less elastic and dry, which promotes the formation of wrinkles.

What is the best treatment for facial wrinkles?

Although the aging process cannot be stopped, it is possible to reduce the rate at which changes in the skin become apparent. Many people choose to do just that, as modern aesthetic medicine has much to offer in this regard. 

If you want to smooth out facial wrinkles, botulinum toxin (Botox) comes to the rescue, which also allows you to correct your appearance (e.g. lift drooping eyelids, lift the corners of the mouth). It works only within those muscles into which it is injected, causing their local paralysis as a result of blocking neuromuscular conduction. The remaining facial muscles work unaffected.

Botulinum toxin produces very quick results. It begins to work just a few days after injection. However, the procedure requires repetition, as muscle relaxation and wrinkle leveling lasts from 3 to 6 months. Injection of the toxin is basically non-invasive, and the whole procedure takes about 20-30 minutes and requires no special preparations.

There are few contraindications, including: pregnancy and breastfeeding, neuromuscular junction disease, hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin, active acne, herpes and bacterial skin conditions.

Static wrinkles - what to remove deep wrinkles with?

Aesthetic medicine is also excellent at dealing with static wrinkles. Enzymatic peels, which are gentle on the skin and are especially suitable for people with vascular and sensitive skin, produce good results, as they do not damage the epidermis. Peels stimulate inflammatory processes in the epidermis and dermis, as well as collagen production, which leads to a gradual smoothing of wrinkles. In addition, they regenerate the skin and lighten hyperpigmentation. 

Another method is treatments using, among other things, plant enzymes, which are gentle on the skin and safe. Many of them can be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women, after prior consultation with a specialist. The result is refreshed skin with improved skin tone. Aesthetic medicine treatments are able to help restore the epidermis, have antioxidant, brightening, moisturizing effects and smooth even deep wrinkles.

An ally of a smooth complexion is hyaluronic acid - it is now one of the most popular tissue fillers, which is also produced in the human body. It has the ability to bind and retain water, which makes the skin firm and elastic. Over the years and under the influence of the sun, we begin to lack this substance, which promotes wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid treatment is safe and takes about 15-30 minutes (depending on the number of injection sites). The product is administered with a very thin needle, which does not leave marks at the injection site. The effects can be seen immediately, but the full smoothing of bumps can be seen after about 2 days, when the preparation is fully distributed under the skin. The skin after the procedure is sometimes bruised and swollen, but the discomfort subsides within a few days.

For those who want a lasting and even spectacular effect, or who have very deep and fixed wrinkles, surgical procedures come to the rescue. Procedures carried out by experienced professionals are safe and produce very lasting results. They make it possible not only to delay the aging process, but to remove wrinkles that have already formed, restoring the skin to a young and radiant appearance. 

Surgical facelift for wrinkles

A facelift is a procedure that precisely corrects the effects of time. This procedure not only reduces wrinkles and sagging skin, but also restores the harmonious proportions of the face, giving it a fresh and youthful appearance. With a facelift, the face can be effectively rejuvenated while improving its contours and oval. 

The procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening muscles and fascia, and contouring deeper tissues. For even more spectacular results, a facelift can be combined with other procedures, such as eyelid plasty or brow lift.

‍DeepPlane Face Lifting - an innovative facelift technique

Deep Plane Facelift(Deep Plane Face Lifting) is an advanced surgical technique that achieves extremely natural and permanent facial rejuvenation results. Unlike traditional facelifts, the method focuses on the deeper layers of tissue, allowing for precise cheek lifts and the reduction of so-called "hamsters. With this procedure, you can achieve defined facial contours and improve the appearance of nasolabial folds. Although wrinkles are not the main focus of this procedure, a small amount of skin resurfacing is also often performed during the surgery to smooth them out.
