Wrinkles develop in areas of fine skin where there is lots of repeated muscle movement such as around the eyes, the forehead and the frown area. We get more wrinkles as we age. With aging the bone structure of the face changes, we lose muscle mass and fat pad volume, ligaments in the face weaken and the skin loses elasticity and thins. All of this leads to the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Some lines are visible at rest- these are called static. The lines visible during muscle movement are called dynamic. Botox treats dynamic wrinkles. There are other options to help with static wrinkles, please just ask us.
