Wrinkles

With age, the body's natural ability to produce and reproduce collagen fibers diminishes. The older the collagen structure, the less toned the skin becomes and the more it wrinkles. The skin becomes dry and its vitality decreases.

What solutions exist for eliminating wrinkles?

This is where plastic surgery and aesthetic medicine come to the rescue. Wrinkle removal can be performed either invasively through surgical procedures, or non-invasively through aesthetic medicine treatments.

The choice of methods depends, among other factors, on the patient's individual situation, such as acceptable social downtime and the desired level of results.

  • Dr Weiss performs reduction of both superficial and deep wrinkles; depending on the indication, he carries out the treatments with botulinum toxin injections -- BOTOX,
  • He may sometimes use a chemical peel to stimulate renewal of the superficial skin layer.
  • For filling, Dr Weiss uses hyaluronic acid produced through genetic engineering, or autologous fat grafting (Lipofilling) using your own fat.
  • All these procedures can be combined with genuine facial rejuvenation through a surgical cervico-facial facelift.

The Specific Case of Forehead Wrinkles

The smooth forehead of childhood quickly begins to wrinkle from adolescence onward.

This is the price of the forehead's function, which reflects a large part of our emotions: surprise, severity, questioning... and these daily, persistent expressions are responsible for the appearance of wrinkles.

In these areas, the most commonly found wrinkles are frown lines, horizontal forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes.

Historically, this concern was addressed through a brow lift, which is increasingly being abandoned today because Botox (Botulinum Toxin) injections achieve virtually the same result.

After Botox injection, you will benefit from two effects:

  • A preventive effect: the injected areas will no longer develop wrinkles because the muscles that cause forehead wrinkling will be relaxed,
  • An effect on existing wrinkles, which although permanent, will become smoother and much less visible.

The essential goal in treating this area is to ensure a natural appearance: the face should look rested, luminous, natural, and harmonious.
