Wrinkles

Maybe you're starting to notice a wrinkle here or a fine line there. You don't want to look 16 again, but it would be nice if your outward appearance matched how you feel on the inside.

Damage can be prevented with a minimum of SPF 15 sunblock every day, and by using a good moisturizer. There are also treatments that can reduce the appearance of the wrinkles that are already there.



Wrinkle Treatments

A generation ago, when people wanted to combat the signs of aging, they had limited options, and most were pretty drastic. Today, there's a whole range of wrinkle treatments available to you.

The latest in wrinkle treatments.

You may have heard about some of the amazing new wrinkle treatments like BOTOX®, new fillers such as Juvéderm™, IPL Photorejuvenation, and others. But what do they all do?

BOTOX® goes right to the source of the problem, relaxing the muscles that are the cause of dynamic wrinkles. When the muscles are relaxed, the creases smooth out. Learn more about BOTOX for forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow's feet on the FACE (Facial Aesthetics Care & Education) Institute website.

Fraxel ® Laser Treatment is designed to target aging and damaged skin by creating microscopic "wounds" within the targeted areas well beneath the skin's outermost layer. In this way, Fraxel® Laser treatments trigger the body's own natural production of new collagen and skin cells. Learn about Nd:YAG lasers on the FACE (Facial Aesthetics Care & Education) Institute's Laser Rejuvenation page.

Juvéderm™ is a clear gel that is injected beneath your skin to "fill" creases and deep furrows, evening out the surface of your skin. Learn more about Dermal Fillers on the FACE (Facial Aesthetics Care & Education) Institute website.

IPL Photorejuvenation technology is a treatment breakthrough that can correct a variety of benign skin conditions, such as facial skin imperfections, the signs of aging, birthmarks, unsightly small veins, and other blemishes.

Microdermabrasion is a superficial treatment that affects the outer layer of skin, the epidermis, by exfoliating the dead skin cells of your face, neck, chest or other areas. This is a treatment that many people like because it is not nearly as harsh as dermabrasion or a chemical peel. Although results are subtler, those who have had the treatment find that their skin is more radiant, make-up goes on better, and pigmentation is evened out. Microdermabrasion can treat brown sun spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, aging and dry skin, large pores, and may help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin will look and feel healthier, smoother and more refreshed after this treatment. A more even skin tone and texture are key benefits.

Topical wrinkle treatments can be introduced into your regular skin care regime at home. At Nu Image, we continually watch for advancements in skin care so that you receive the newest and best products for your skin.

Which treatment is right for me?

It depends on what your skin needs. There are many treatments that combat different signs of aging. Many people find that a combination achieves the best results. For example, although most treatments improve the tone and texture of the surface of the skin, only BOTOX® relaxes the muscles beneath the skin, addressing the root cause of dynamic wrinkles.

A Student's Report Card
"The day after my treatment [of wrinkles with Botox and the filler Perlane] I was teaching in my phys-ed class when a Grade 7 boy told me I looked different. I was a bit swollen nad had a couple of subtle bruises. I laughed and told him that it looked like I had been in a bit of an accident. He sadi "No, you look younger!" He passed phys-ed with flying colors."
