We Provide Non-Invasive Wrinkle Solutions in North Denver
For years, the only solutions to reducing or eliminating wrinkles were complicated and invasive surgical procedures. These surgeries could be risky and required days of downtime as you recovered from the procedure. Now there are better options to fight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with the development of injectable treatments using Botox. Although Botox has been in use for many years, it has become more popular recently as people realize just how easy and effective these treatments are. At Uptown Medical Aesthetics, we use strategic placement of Botox to help relax the muscles of the forehead, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines.
What Causes Forehead Wrinkles?
Though age is often the driving force behind the appearance of wrinkles, there are some other factors that can play a role in their development. No matter the cause of your worry lines, the team at Uptown Medical Aesthetics in Northglenn, CO can find an appropriate solution to reverse the signs of aging and help you regain your youth. For the most part wrinkles are caused by these four main factors:
- Aging: As we get older, our skin loses some of its elasticity and collagen. This loss combined with the repeated movements of facial expressions and the natural effects of gravity, causes skin to sag, which creates wrinkles in the forehead and other areas on the face.
- Sunlight Exposure: UV rays from sunlight and tanning beds can take a major toll on your skin. Overexposure to these harmful rays can lead to many consequences including premature aging, wrinkles, and skin discoloration.
- Genetics: Though genetics aren’t the main determining factor, they do play a role in how you age. New studies have suggested that your maternal genes are more likely to affect the way your skin ages. This means if your mother exhibited signs of premature aging, you may, too.
- Lifestyle Factors: The health of your skin is directly related to your overall health. A poor diet, smoking, consuming alcohol, and excess exposure to the sun can all cause wrinkles to form due to their negative health effects.
Common Types of Forehead Lines
Because wrinkles result from repeated movements of the facial muscles to form expressions, certain types of wrinkles are more common than others. Raising and lowering your eyebrows will form different types of wrinkles than squinting or furrowing your brow. For many people, the most common types of forehead wrinkles include:
- Forehead Rows: These wrinkles extend horizontally across the forehead and usually occur from raising your eyebrows. Forehead rows often start when you are younger, appearing only when you actively make a facial expression, but will develop into deeper wrinkles that are visible even when you aren’t changing your expression.
- Glabellar Lines: These wrinkles appear as two parallel lines between the eyebrows, just above the bridge of the nose. Glabellar lines often appear when you frown or concentrate and will worsen as you age and continue to use the muscles.
