Wrinkle Description and Education: Learn More About Wrinkles Before Deciding Which Wrinkle Skin Treatment is Right For You

As you age, your skin's collagen and elastin simply break down faster than your body can rebuild them, and skin cells divide more slowly, causing skin to thin, droop and lose elasticity. Aging also results in skin being less able to retain moisture and oil-secreting glands becoming less efficient. These factors in addition to sun exposure and expressions like smiling, laughing and squinting which involve the contraction of muscles, contribute to the development of wrinkles.

The skin around your eyes is especially vulnerable because it's more delicate and tends to age more rapidly than skin on other areas of the body. These wrinkles around the eyes are also called "crow's feet" or "periorbital wrinkles." Wrinkle skin treatments can minimize the appearance of these wrinkles and fine lines.

Unfortunately, many of the quick-fix "beauty in a bottle" products and other wrinkle treatments such as acid peels, injectable fillers, collagen, dermabrasion or traditional laser treatments are expensive, risky and sometimes painful. Thermage offers an alternative wrinkle solution that not only delivers remarkable results, but is non-invasive. Thermage wrinkle treatment helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles by tightening and contouring skin in a single treatment without surgery and little to no downtime.
