Finding the Right Wrinkle Treatment 

Seeing wrinkles form on your face can be incredibly frustrating, especially if they make you look older than you really feel. No matter what caused your wrinkles or how old you are, we want you to know there is a solution to your wrinkle problems at NOVA Plastic Surgery and Dermatology. We offer a wide range of wrinkle treatments that work as preventative and corrective measures to restore and revive your skin. 

Preventive Wrinkle Treatment Options 

Since wrinkles can occur at any age, preventative wrinkle treatments aim to provide long-lasting results that halt future wrinkles from forming. 

BOTOX® Cosmetic 

One of the well-known wrinkle treatments is  BOTOX® Cosmetic. Many people are attracted to the minimally invasive nature of these injections, which are a non-surgical option. BOTOX® Cosmetic injections relax your facial muscles, allowing the wrinkles in your skin to soften and become less visible. This is a suitable treatment for people with wrinkles in the upper portion of the face. Common treatment areas are between the eyebrows, forehead lines, and crow’s feet (wrinkles on the sides of the eyes). 

Dysport®

Similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport® is also a cosmetic injection that smoothes out wrinkles. Dysport® treatment is specifically for frown lines between the eyebrows. If you want to smooth out your frown lines in a way that looks natural and still allows the muscles in your face to be expressive, then Dysport® is an excellent choice. You’ll be able to see your results a few days after your treatment, and the results will last for up to four months. 

PRF Facial Rejuvenation 

If you’re looking for something that will tackle fine lines, wrinkles, and add facial volume to hollow areas, then PRF facial rejuvenation may be right for you. PRF (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections stimulate your body’s collagen production, smoothing out lines and wrinkles while restoring volume to lost areas. Results take around three months to appear fully; however, when they do appear, they will last for a long time. Typically, patients return for a touch-up one year after their initial treatment. 

MOXI® Laser Treatment 

One of the more versatile methods is MOXI® laser treatment, which can smooth out wrinkles and clear up the skin. MOXI® laser treatment can address signs of aging, such as wrinkles and age spots. Additionally, it can be used to treat acne scars, skin unevenness, sun damage, and pigmentation issues. 

Corrective Wrinkle Treatment Options

No matter how far your wrinkles have progressed, there is a corrective wrinkle treatment that will provide you with transformative results. 

Facelift 

For patients dealing with significant facial skin sagging, a facelift can remove excess skin and tighten the remaining skin for smooth, youthful facial contours. This surgical procedure is suited for candidates with excessive sagging skin, facial volume loss, and deep wrinkles in the lower portion of the face. 

Laser Skin Resurfacing 

If you’re looking for a way to treat problem areas and generate more collagen, laser skin resurfacing is a great option. This method treats wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, blemishes, warts, uneven skin tone, birthmarks, liver spots, and chickenpox scars. 

Dermal Fillers 

People who want a non-surgical treatment for removing wrinkles and adding facial volume may be good candidates for dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are injectable treatments that minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and can add volume to the face.

Frequently Asked Questions

What non-surgical wrinkle treatments does NOVA offer?

NOVA offers BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, PRF facial rejuvenation, MOXI laser treatment, and dermal fillers as non-surgical options. Each targets a different cause of wrinkles, from relaxing muscles and stimulating collagen to restoring volume and resurfacing damaged skin.

What is the difference between preventative and corrective wrinkle treatments?

Preventative treatments like BOTOX, Dysport, and MOXI aim to stop new wrinkles from forming and slow the aging process before significant changes occur. Corrective treatments like laser resurfacing, dermal fillers, and facelift surgery address wrinkles and volume loss that have already developed.

How does PRF facial rejuvenation treat wrinkles?

PRF injections use the patient's own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which smooths fine lines and restores lost facial volume. Results take approximately three months to fully appear and typically last around one year before a touch-up is recommended.

What does MOXI laser treatment do for aging skin?

MOXI is a non-invasive laser that uses gentle energy to stimulate collagen production from within the skin, improving fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and sun damage. It is safe for all skin types and requires no significant downtime.

When is facelift surgery a better option than non-surgical wrinkle treatments?

Facelift surgery is the best option when a patient has significant skin sagging, deep structural changes, or wrinkles that cannot be adequately addressed with injectables or laser treatments. For patients whose aging has progressed beyond what non-surgical treatments can correct, a facelift delivers more dramatic and longer-lasting results.
