NON-SURGICAL TREATMENTS FOR WRINKLES AND FINE LINES

Our face is marked over time: the skin becomes thinner, looser and wrinkled. A few wrinkles or fine lines appear, then deepen. This is normal; our face moves and lives at the rhythm of our emotions.

Aesthetic medicine makes it possible, through specific non-invasive treatments, to slow down the skin’s aging process and, in particular, to act in a targeted manner on wrinkles, while promoting a natural and, above all, unadulterated appearance. And this, for all skin types, all year round.

WHY DO I HAVE WRINKLES?

Wrinkles and fine lines are the result of several structural changes in facial tissues due to skin aging. With age, the skin produces less elastin and collagen fibers and less hyaluronic acid, which give the skin its suppleness, tone and elasticity, and it also loses subcutaneous fat. Our lifestyle (diet, alcohol and tobacco consumption, sun exposure, pollution…) also influences our skin and damages it. As a result, wrinkles and fine lines appear.

As the skin is also more fragile and thinner, the skin marks more: expression lines develop at the rhythm of the repeated movements of our face (when we laugh, raise our eyes to the sky, frown), often on the forehead and around the eyes. Other folds form on the lower part of the face: from the nose to the mouth (nasolabial folds), from the corner of the mouth to the chin (bitterness folds). The oval of the face tends to become blurred and our face looks less young, sadder.

Wrinkles and fine lines can be effectively treated with several non-surgical techniques, alone or in combination, to fight the effects of time in an effective yet natural way.

HOW TO TREAT FACIAL WRINKLES?

Depending on the depth of the wrinkle and its typology, different techniques can be used and combined. A consultation with Dr. HAVET will allow him to recommend a tailor-made protocol after having analyzed your face and its expressions:

BOTULINUM TOXIN TO RELAX EXPRESSION LINES

Along with hyaluronic acid, it is truly the reference treatment for smoothing out the so-called expression lines that often give an annoyed or worried look, without reason. Precise and targeted micro-injections of botulinum toxin between the eyebrows (frown lines), on the forehead (horizontal wrinkles) and around the eyes (crow’s feet wrinkles) – if necessary – can really open up and relax the eyes. Without freezing your expressions, nor altering your charm. When injected accurately, botulinum toxin acts by relaxing the muscles, and the result is perfectly natural.

HYALURONIC ACID FOR FILLERS

A star molecule in aesthetic medicine, hyaluronic acid is used to treat more pronounced wrinkles, mainly on the lower face. It fills in bitterness folds, perioral wrinkles and nasolabial folds (from the nose to the corners of the mouth). As a bonus, it will rehydrate the skin, which will be more beautiful.

FRACTIONAL RADIOFREQUENCY

Fractional radiofrequency sessions (radiofrequency combined with microneedling) can be used to smooth out wrinkles on the face, even in the case of severe wrinkles such as crow’s feet, cheek wrinkles and even wrinkled necklines.  The radiofrequency waves used in Dr. Havet’s office will stimulate fibroblasts and collagen fibers deep down to redensify the skin. At the same time, a micro-needle tip will mechanically stimulate the skin to visibly smooth wrinkles.

HOW TO PREVENT THE APPEARANCE OF WRINKLES?

The protective reflex!

We can act daily from a young age to prevent and limit the appearance of wrinkles on the skin. Protecting it from the sun’s UV rays, its number one enemy, is essential, especially when you live in a region like ours, the West Indies, which is always very sunny.

The sun damages the skin and is largely responsible for the appearance of premature wrinkles, a crumpled appearance and pigmentation spots. So, even if you love to tan and enjoy the sun, SPF50 protection is a must. Your skin will thank you for it.

Medical peels

The medical peels that Dr. Havet offers at his various centers do not treat wrinkles per se, but help to improve the quality of the skin and prevent the appearance of wrinkles by smoothing it. Regardless of their nature and specificity, the peels remove the superficial layers of the skin, gently exfoliating it to reveal its beauty over the course of the sessions.

Each peeling session is combined with 20 minutes of medical LED (Light Emitting Diode), a very gentle device that uses the power of light waves to enhance the effects of the peel and regenerate your skin.
