If you’ve started noticing fine lines or wrinkles that seem to linger a little longer than they used to, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common skin concerns people bring up, and it tends to happen gradually.
For many patients, it’s not about trying to look younger. It’s about looking less tired, less stressed, or more like themselves when they look in the mirror.

What Are Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
Fine lines are shallow creases that often appear first, especially when the skin is dry or moving. Wrinkles are deeper lines that develop as the skin loses collagen, elasticity, and underlying support.
They commonly appear around the eyes, mouth, forehead, and cheeks. While fine lines and wrinkles are related, they don’t all form for the same reason, which is why treatment approaches often differ.
Wrinkles can appear as early as adolescence and develop in different areas of the face, neck, chest, hands, above the knees, and around the elbows.
Why Fine Lines and Wrinkles Develop
Fine lines and wrinkles develop due to a combination of natural and environmental factors. They’re generally divided into two categories: unavoidable wrinkles (appearing as we age) and preventable wrinkles (caused by sun exposure and lifestyle habits).
Key contributing factors:
In many cases, fine lines become more noticeable when the skin loses volume and support. This is why concerns like Volume Loss are often discussed alongside fine lines and wrinkles during a consultation.
Types of Wrinkles
Not all wrinkles form the same way, and understanding the type can help guide treatment.
Common Wrinkle Areas
Facial Wrinkles

Body Wrinkles
Wrinkles can appear anywhere on the body, especially the neck, chest area, hands, above the knees, and elbows. The main factors are advanced age and sun exposure.
How Fine Lines and Wrinkles Can Affect Appearance
Fine lines and wrinkles can subtly change how the face looks, even when you feel well-rested.

Setting Realistic Expectations
Treatments for fine lines and wrinkles provide improvement, not permanent change.
Results vary depending on skin type, lifestyle, and consistency of care. Your provider will help you understand what kind of results are realistic and how to maintain them safely over time.
The goal is smoother, healthier-looking skin that still looks like you.
There isn’t one treatment that works for everyone. The right approach depends on what’s causing the lines, where they appear, and how your skin and facial muscles function. A consultation allows your provider to recommend treatments that fit your needs and goals.
These injectables temporarily relax muscles responsible for facial expressions, helping to soften dynamic wrinkles and prevent them from becoming deeper over time:
Both allow natural expression while softening the appearance of lines caused by repeated movement.
When wrinkles are related to volume loss or structural changes, fillers can restore underlying support, smooth deeper creases, and improve facial balance:
A consultation will help determine which filler type works best for your aesthetic goals.
These treatments stimulate collagen production and resurface skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles:
Your provider will recommend options based on your skin type and concerns. Some laser treatments may not be suitable for darker skin tones.
MOXI is a gentle fractional laser that improves skin tone, texture, and overall quality with minimal downtime.
How it works: MOXI delivers fractionated laser energy to create micro-channels in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting cellular turnover. It treats a portion of the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact, which allows for faster healing.
Best for:
MOXI is often combined with BBL for comprehensive skin rejuvenation — BBL targets pigmentation and vessels at the surface, while MOXI works on texture and tone at a deeper level.
These treatments improve overall skin quality and help with surface-level fine lines:
Pairing treatments like HydraFacial with Dermaplaning or Microdermabrasion can enhance results.
For wrinkles related to sagging or skin laxity, lifting treatments can help:
This treatment helps reduce the appearance of hanging or sagging skin while smoothing gravitational wrinkles.
If chin shape or balance is something you’ve been thinking about, a consultation can help you explore your options.
