As we age, the ravages of time take their toll on the skin. Many active people who feel younger than they look are not content just to live with their wrinkles. Fortunately, there are many treatment options available to smooth wrinkles and even reverse the aging process. Newer treatments with minimal downtime are replacing the invasive surgeries and face-lifts of old.
Skin Care Products
Topical skin care products are a great place to start. We recommend our exclusive nV SkinCare line, which contains proven ingredients to maintain the skin’s health and reverse the signs of aging. Our nV skin care products contain zinc oxide, retinoids, Vitamin C, glycolic acid, azeleic acid, and skin brighteners such as arbutin and kojic acid. These ingredients are the foundation to achieve healthy and youthful skin for the long-term.
Botox
Botox® is one of the most sought-after treatments in Lone Tree and Denver for facial wrinkles. Botox is a quick in-office treatment, with no downtime, minimal discomfort, and unparalleled safety. Millions of people have been treated with Botox worldwide and for good reason! Botox is especially useful to treat and prevent wrinkles on the upper face such as frown lines and crow’s feet around the eyes. Botox also helps with lines around the mouth. Botox is by far the most common cosmetic treatment performed by Dr. Ort.
Fillers
Another popular treatment is the use of injectable fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Belotero, Voluma, Lyft, Sculptra, and Radiesse. Fillers represent a non-invasive way to smooth away wrinkles and regain a youthful appearance. Fillers can be injected deeply to restore volume and lift the skin or can be injected superficially to smooth etched-in lines, such as “smoker’s lines” on the upper lip. Dr. Ort is a true artist in his mastery of fillers to create beautiful, natural-appearing results.
Lasers
Laser treatment has become a mainstay in the treatment of wrinkles. We offer many laser options, including non-invasive BBL “Forever Young” and non-ablative fractional laser with little downtime. The CO2 laser remains the gold standard for wrinkle reduction, but newer fractional techniques have mostly replaced the aggressive treatments of the past. It is not an exaggeration when we tell our patients that treatment with our fractional CO2 laser can take years off their appearance!
Microneedling and PRP
Microneedling is another exciting treatment for skin renewal. We use the SkinPen to deliver thousands of tiny micro-injuries to the skin. The result is production of new collagen and improvement in skin tone and texture. Microneedling has become one of our most popular treatments due to its efficacy and low downtime. We often combine microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for enhanced results. PRP contains powerful healing factors which come from your own body. PRP is applied to the skin during microneedling and penetrates into the skin through the micro-channels.
Summary
There are so many great options available to treat wrinkles. Dr. Ort and licensed aesthetician Mary Muldoon pride themselves on providing honest advice regarding what treatment would be best for you.
