What causes wrinkles to develop?

Wrinkles are a direct result of the aging process. As time passes, your skin loses the tautness and elasticity of youth, so it's looser and more prone to wrinkling and sagging. You're more likely to have a lot of wrinkles or get wrinkles early on if these risk factors apply to you:

• Poor diet
• Chronic dehydration
• Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
• Family history of premature or severe wrinkling
• Smoking
• Over-exposure to the sun

Wrinkles are more prevalent on the parts of your body that have the most sun exposure, like your neck, face, and the backs of your hands. The team at Elite Gynecology specializes in using the most potent treatments for fine lines and wrinkles.

What skin creams are best for minimizing wrinkles?

Many anti-wrinkle serums and face creams are available, but they're not equally effective at diminishing wrinkles. Products that do best in scientific studies of treatments for wrinkles and fine lines are antioxidants, retinoids, and alpha-hydroxy (AHA) fruit acids.

A good skin care routine helps keep your skin healthy and hydrated. Elite Gynecology recommends SkinCeuticals™ advanced skin care products, which also help reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

While regular moisturizing and cleansing are essential, they can't prevent wrinkles from forming. If your wrinkles are causing you to worry, the best approach is to undergo wrinkle treatment at Elite Gynecology.

What treatments help with wrinkles?

Elite Gynecology offers an assortment of therapies that can smooth out wrinkles without surgery. These include:

Dermal fillers

Fillers contain substances like hyaluronic acid that plumps the tissues under your skin. They're excellent for smoothing out wrinkles and deep lines.

Botox® injections

Botox is a well-liked treatment for crow's feet around the eyes and forehead lines. These injections relax the muscles that make you frown so your skin doesn't wrinkle and crease. One course of injections at Elite Gynecology lasts for around three months. You can follow up for further treatments if you want to maintain the effect.

Microneedling

Agnes RF or Scarlet radiofrequency microneedling treatment stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. These proteins restore fullness and elasticity to your skin by triggering your body's natural tissue repair processes.

Elite Gynecology offers other skin care services, such as varicose and spider vein treatments.
