Why do wrinkles appear?
Wrinkles appear over time because of persistent tension in the small muscles of facial expression. Contraction of these facial muscles causes the skin to bunch up over the muscle, causing wrinkles.
These issues can become more prominent with mature skin and the natural aging process. High levels of sun exposure can also contribute to the appearance of facial wrinkles
Can you stop wrinkle treatments once you have started?
Yes. If you stop any type of wrinkle treatment, your face tends to gradually return to how it was before starting treatment.
For consistent skin texture and health, regular follow-up wrinkle treatments are needed.
Will wrinkle treatments hurt?
Discomfort expectations as they relate to your unique circumstances will be discussed at your complimentary consultation with our experienced cosmetic clinicians.
Will I still be able to make facial expressions after wrinkle treatments?
When performed appropriately, wrinkle treatments aim to reduce fine lines without significantly affecting your natural facial expressions.
At Contour Clinics, our focus is on achieving a balanced appearance while preserving your ability to express emotion naturally. During your consultation, your clinician will discuss treatment goals clearly, aiming to maintain your normal facial movements while addressing fine and moderate wrinkles.
Do treatments for eye wrinkles make your eyes smaller?
No. If anything, relaxing the muscles surrounding the eye will cause a widening of the eyes. This may lead to a wider-eyed appearance.
What other steps can I take to prevent and reduce wrinkles?
You can help prevent wrinkles by avoiding smoking, reducing stress levels and applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen during sunny weather.
Adopting a thorough skin care routine may also help.
