What is a wrinkle?

A wrinkle is a fold or break in the surface of the skin.

A distinction is made between static wrinkles (nasolabial folds, marionette lines) and expression lines (perioral wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, and so on). Treatment varies according to the type of wrinkle.

Certain factors accelerate skin ageing and accentuate the appearance of wrinkles: excessive sun exposure, smoking, an unbalanced lifestyle, and so on.

What causes wrinkles to appear on the face?

Skin ageing is the main cause of wrinkles. Over time, the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin declines, and fatty tissue begins to melt away.

The skin becomes less toned and firm, dehydrated, thinner and more fragile.

Dr Hayot’s solutions for treating wrinkles

The solutions Dr Hayot can offer you differ according to your needs.

At your first appointment, your practitioner will examine you and make a diagnosis, an essential step.

Filling wrinkles with hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acidinjections are effective against static wrinkles that appear as the skin ages. Marionette lines and nasolabial folds can be filled with hyaluronic acid.

The results are natural and immediately visible. Wrinkles are softened and the skin is rehydrated. As hyaluronic acid is a molecule that is gradually resorbed, a maintenance treatment is needed for the results to last.

Treating expression lines with botulinum toxin

Expression lines (also known as dynamic wrinkles) are an indication for Botox®injection. Botulinum toxin controls and softens the contraction of the muscles responsible.

Horizontal forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet can be corrected with botulinum toxin injections.

Tightening facial skin with tensor threads

For early to moderate sagging of the skin, tensor threads can be used.

This treatment is quick and non-invasive, and it stimulates collagen production. Dr Hayot uses absorbable tensor threads whose effect lasts around 18 months.

What results can anti-wrinkle treatments achieve?

The protocols needed for an optimal result depend on your initial concern, the technique chosen and the effect you are looking for.

Hyaluronic acid and Botox injections give highly satisfactory results in the treatment of wrinkles. Tensor threads provide a medical facelift effect.
