How To Get Rid Of Wrinkles And Still Look Completely Natural
Almost everyone wants to smooth their wrinkles, but the biggest concern we hear from patients is the fear of looking “overdone.”
The goal of “aging gracefully” isn’t to erase every line or change your appearance—it’s to refresh your look in a way that seems effortless and natural.
In fact, the most effective wrinkle treatments don’t just smooth the skin; they restore balance, structure, and volume to the face, so you still look like you—just well-rested and rejuvenated.
So, how do you get rid of wrinkles without looking like you’ve had work done? Let’s break it down.
Understanding How the Face Ages
Wrinkles – whether they’re under-eye wrinkles, forehead wrinkles, or jowling – aren’t just a matter of loose skin. Aging is a complex process that affects multiple aspects of the face, leading to visible changes over time.
There are three main things that happen to the face as we age:
The skin loses its internal structure
Collagen is a protein that plays a crucial role in the structure of the skin. Collagen is the skin’s support system, just like our bones are the support system for our bodies. As we age, we lose that collagen. Without the skin’s “bones” in place to support it, the skin begins to sag.
The skin is less resilient
With a weakened internal structure, the skin can’t “bounce back” as effectively from the muscle movement it experiences each day. Our facial movements are tough on the skin. As the skin weakens with age, those muscle movements become visible in wrinkles and fine lines. In other words, the skin loses its natural laxity.
The face loses volume
The face contains natural deposits of fat. Ever heard of “baby face?” This term refers to someone who is blessed with extra fat deposits in their face. As we age, that fat begins to fade away. The skin that has always appeared taut across a plump pile of fat begins to sag without its natural cushioning.
Now that we know what causes wrinkles, we can take a targeted approach to treating them—one that smooths, restores, and prevents without looking overdone.
Creating a natural aging strategy
In order to age naturally and gracefully, we use these three tactics:
Reduce muscle movement
Botox injections work by reducing muscle movement. By reducing muscle movements in the face, we can minimize the amount of stress we put on the skin.
Restore natural volume
Dermal filler is designed to mimic the face fat we have lost with age. When hyaluronic acid filler is used strategically and responsibly, it can be a highly effective treatment for eliminating wrinkles by restoring the face’s natural volume.
Boost collagen levels
Certain skin treatments (which we’ll discuss below) work to smooth wrinkles by stimulating the body to create more collagen. With fresh collagen available, the body can restore the skin’s internal structure, improving the skin’s laxity, reducing sagging and jowling, and smoothing out the wrinkles and fine lines that have formed.
Collagen-Stimulating Treatments
There are several types of collagen-stimulating treatments in medical aesthetics. The best treatment (or set of treatments) for you will depend entirely on your personal skin concerns and goals.
Our favorite treatments to restore collagen levels in the skin are:
- CO2 Lasers resurface the skin with precise energy to stimulate collagen production and improve overall texture over time.
- Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to boost collagen and elastin production for a naturally smoother, firmer appearance.
- Biostimulators like Radiesse work underneath the skin to stimulate collagen and restore lost volume over time
- PRP Injections use the body’s own growth factors to enhance skin quality and elasticity
The Truth About Botox and Fillers: How to Keep Results Looking Natural
If the idea of Botox or fillers makes you nervous, you’re not alone! Many first-time patients worry about looking overdone—but the reality is, when done correctly, these treatments are nearly undetectable.
A lot of fear around injectables comes from extreme cases of over-filling or misattributed botched plastic surgery. In reality, the majority of aesthetics patients who have dermal filler and Botox fly entirely under the radar.
The best injectable work is the kind you don’t notice—it simply makes you look well-rested, refreshed, and wrinkle-free. As your aesthetics providers, we stay up to date on the latest injection techniques and carefully choose the best products for natural-looking results.
