Laugh Lines

Deep folds in your cheeks add years.

LAUGH LINES are due to the repetitive movement of underlying muscles. Laugh lines lines wouldn’t be there if the skin weren’t damaged.

Blame it on the sun. Children move their face muscles all day long and don’t get lines or wrinkles. The lines occur because our skin is damaged by the sun. The normal collagen and elastin matrix that comprises our skin gets damaged and creates abnormal, sundamaged elastic fibers. In addition, this sun-exposure degrades our collagen. Where normal skin is 80% collagen and 4 % elastic fiber mesh network, sun-damaged skin can be as much as 80% abnormal elastic fibers, clumps of abnormal elastin
tissue.

Injectable Cosmetic Fillers are the best way to erase laugh lines, those deep furrows (nasolabial folds, or “parentheses.” )Radiesse, Restylane, Juvederm,  and Perlane are fillers.

Each has its own characteristics, so our physician chooses which one will best suit your needs. The needle is tiny, but, don’t worry! The area is numbed first.
