Wrinkles

New York Laser & Skin Care

Wrinkles are natural lines or creases that develop in the skin due to aging, sun exposure, and repeated facial movements. They are most commonly seen around the eyes, mouth, forehead, and neck, and can deepen over time. While wrinkles are a normal part of aging, professional treatments can help maintain a smooth, youthful appearance.

Causes and Contributing Factors

Wrinkles form as collagen and elastin production decreases, and the skin loses elasticity and firmness. Environmental factors such as UV exposure, smoking, and repeated facial expressions accelerate their formation. Genetics and lifestyle also play a significant role in how wrinkles develop.

Treatment Options

At New York Laser & Skin Care, Dr. Kauvar offers advanced treatments such as injectables, dermal fillers, and laser resurfacing to smooth wrinkles and restore skin texture. Each plan is tailored to the individual, ensuring natural-looking, refined results that enhance facial contours and maintain expression.
