FINE LINES & WRINKLES

Fine lines and wrinkles result from multiple factors, including bone loss, facial volume loss, and skin deterioration. Genetics, hormonal changes, stress, smoking, and environmental exposure all also affect the skin.

As we age, we lose collagen and our skin becomes thinner and less elastic. Changes in the bony structure of the skull and the loss of fat pads decreases the structural support of the face. Years of repeated muscle contraction combine with these factors to create both dynamic and static wrinkles. These lines and wrinkles may create an undesired tired, angry, sad, older, or saggy appearance — even when your facial muscles are at rest.

Affected areas:
Face, forehead, frown lines (vertical glabellar lines between brows or “angry 11s”), temples, brow, tear troughs (eye bags), crow’s feet, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, ear lobes, lips, jawline, mouth, barcode lines, nose, chin, neck, and hands.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

“I have been a satisfied patient of Dr. Martin Ray of View Laser Skin Rejuvenation, Delta, B.C. for many years. Dr. Ray had been my general practitioner and I went to him originally because of his good reputation. When Dr. Ray started specializing in skin problems, I went to him for help. I had some very obvious brown spots under my eye plus actinic keratosis and other skin problems that was making me very self conscious. Dr. Ray and his staff made me very comfortable during the initial procedure I had done. Since then, I have had several other procedures done, including a CO2. I feel Dr. Ray has given me my self-confidence back.”
