The 411 on Wrinkles

Have you noticed yourself pulling back your skin while looking in the mirror lately? Whether you suffer from deep folds or fine lines, our med spa has a treatment that can help you look years younger. Read on to get the 411 on some common types of wrinkles, where they appear and why, and how you can reduce their appearance at your Pearland med spa.

Frown Lines

Where: Technically known as glabellar lines, these wrinkles take the form of creases between the eyes.

Why: Frown lines are caused by repeated facial muscle movements over long periods of time and can create a look of perpetual anger that makes a person appear unfriendly. For this reason, many med spa patients use BOTOX cosmetic injectable to reduce the appearance of these lines for up to four months!  (With our membership, you can start this treatment for only $75/month)

Smile Lines

Where: "Smile lines" include the deep nasolabial folds that run from the corners of your nose to your mouth, the “marionette” lines below the corners of your mouth, and the vertical lines between your nose and lips. If you ask me, that's nothing to smile about!  Good thing there's an answer... keep reading!

Why: Just like frown lines, smile lines form over time from the movement of your facial muscles. They can also be exacerbated by sun exposure, smoking, and stress.  Fortunately, receiving Juvederm injectable gel, or other dermal filler options by your plastic surgeon can help smooth away vertical lip lines and smile creases for up to a year.

Gravitational Folds

Where: These lines can occur anywhere on the body that skin is sagging. Notable areas include under the eyes, around cheeks, and on the neck.

Why: The effects of gravity over time combined with the lost elasticity of experienced skin mean that certain areas of the face and body develop these increasingly deep folds. The good news is that you can greatly reduce these lines at a medical spa with Elite MPX Skin Tightening Laser treatment, a non-invasive laser skin tightening procedure.
