Facial lines and wrinkles come in a variety of different shapes and sizes. Following is a list of the most common:

• Forehead Lines: run horizontally across the top of the T-zone
• Worry lines: create an “eleven” between the brows
• Bunnies: etch the bridge of the nose horizontally between the eyes
• Crow’s feet: radiate from the outer corners of the eyes
• Laugh lines: also called nasolabial folds, create parenthesis around the upper lip
• Lip lines: form vertical hatches around the perimeter of the mouth
• Marionette lines: frame the chin vertically, and as the cheeks droop, jowl wrinkles form

At Derm.ca, we are able to assess your specific type of line or wrinkle and provide the best treatment solution for you.

Lines and wrinkles are part of the natural aging process and can range from very fine lines to deep creases. They can appear on all parts of the body, however, people are most concerned with the lines and wrinkles on their face. The presence of facial wrinkles can make a person look much older than they actually are.

As we age, our skin loses moisture, becomes thinner, and loses its elasticity – all contributing to the formation of lines and wrinkles. On the other hand, younger skin is more elastic tends to naturally hold its form and structure much better.

Additionally, repetitive facial expressions such as squinting, frowning, and even smiling can leave lines on the face which again can worsen with age.

Some of the common factors which contribute to the formation of wrinkles include:

• Exposure to the sun
• Genetics
• Years of smoking
• Dehydration
• Specific medications
• Extreme environmental conditions
• Certain medications

The team at Derm.ca is able to assess your specific skin type, severity, and location of wrinkles, and recommend the best solution for you.

Depending on the type of location, type, severity, and age of the fine lines and wrinkles, Derm.ca has a solution for you that will deliver the healthy youthful appearance you deserve.

Our treatments range from a variety of cutting edge laser treatments to injections and derma fillers.

As we age, our natural production of collagen and elastin, the two main components which contribute to the structure and firmness of our skin, diminish over time resulting in lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. These common flaws in our skin’s appearance can make us look much older than we are and can affect our self confidence and self image.

At Derm.ca, we use the latest advancement in esthetic revitalization technology called 3D Personalized Laser to take anti-aging treatments to the next level.

3D Personalized Laser treatment delivers exceptional results by softening the appearance of age lines, correcting minor skin laxity, and achieving youthful skin without any invasive approaches or chemical formulas.

Our team understands that our patients are unique and have very different cosmetic goals. We strive to help you achieve the best results and will customize a 3D Personalized Laser Procedure plan in the initial consultation.While many people have been able to notice an improvement in their skin quality after a single treatment, it may require a few sessions to see desired results. We generally recommend 2-3 follow up treatments spaced a month or two apart, however, results will vary from person to person.

• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Facial skin laxity
• Neck laxity

Because the 3D Personalized Laser Procedure works below the surface of the skin, there are no visible signs of redness or swelling in the face, just a glowing, radiant skin. Most of our 3D laser patients return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment.

3D Personalized Laser is a safe, non-invasive medical cosmetic treatment which delivers laser light energy onto the surface of the skin, which in turn converts into heat energy, and ultimately stimulates the production of new collagen. As more collagen is produced, the body begins to repair the skin on a cellular level, creating a tighter, youthful complexion. 3D Laser technology is able to reverse these signs of aging and allow our patients to feel confident about their appearance. Taking approximately 30 minutes, the treatment is painless with most patients reporting only minor discomfort.

• Non-invasive painless procedure
• Immediate visible results
• No downtime
• Jump starts dormant collagen
