Wrinkle Treatment in Dallas, TX
Our face is like a mattress. The more we “sleep” on it, the more we etch our wrinkles. The expression “use it or lose it” applies here as well. The less often we make a particular expression or wrinkle (ex: furrowing our eyebrow), the less likely we are to see them etch and become a permanent fixture on our skin. By using a variety of wrinkle relaxers, such as Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®, we can create a rested, natural appearance that also helps prevent and reverse lines and wrinkles on the face. Dial 972.661.2729 today to speak with Dr. Cockerell and Dr. Radusky about wrinkle treatment!
How Wrinkles and Fine Lines Form
The skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue, each of which contributes to the full, strong and smooth skin that we are born with. The epidermis, which is the outer layer, protects the skin from environmental toxins with special cells called keratinocytes. Underneath the epidermis is the dermis layer, which contains connective tissue, including collagen, elastin and other proteins, that provide strength and flexibility to the skin. The subcutaneous tissue at the bottom layer is made up of fat cells that insulate the body, and is what makes the skin look full and plump.
Each of these layers is affected by aging, genetics and environmental factors, which can make the skin sag and look more wrinkled. The skin’s layers tend to thin as production of tissue slows down, making skin more susceptible to damage and changes because it lacks its previous support and fast-repair abilities. The result is thinner skin with visible lines and wrinkles that can no longer be filled in by collagen and fat cells.
Causes of Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Wrinkles and fine lines are the result of several factors, some of which are beyond a person’s control. During aging, skin naturally thins and loses elasticity, which allows lines and creases to form, usually around the eyes, on the forehead and at the corners of the mouth. Through years of repeated muscle contraction, lines and wrinkles tend to develop in these areas. Certain people may be genetically prone to getting wrinkles.
Many people also develop wrinkles and other unwanted skin changes as a result of excessive exposure to harmful substances over a long period of time. Ultraviolet light from the sun or artificial tanning is the leading cause of premature aging; it causes collagen and elastin fibers to break down, resulting in sagging, weakened skin that can more easily develop wrinkles and other signs of aging. Smoking also affects the skin; it can result in early aging by triggering changes in the skin’s blood supply. These factors lead to photoaging, which accounts for up to 90 percent of premature skin aging.

Are There Natural Anti-Aging Solutions?
Just as your body’s natural healing factors can help restore hair loss, they can also be used to reverse the signs of aging.
Other, topical natural anti-aging solutions only temporarily mask things like fine lines and wrinkles. They may plump the skin or restore some brightness and radiance, but the effects will fade once you discontinue use of the product.
Our all-natural anti-aging treatment goes beyond the surface level to reverse signs of aging from the inside out. It revitalizes the skin by promoting cell turnover which replaces old, damaged skin cells with newer, stronger ones for healthier, more youthful skin. It also helps to restore lost collagen production for longer-lasting plumpness that smooths out fine lines and wrinkles.
Other skin aging symptoms it can address include:
- Crow’s feet and frown lines
- Discoloration
- Sagging skin
- Texture issues
- Dull complexion
The all-natural anti-aging treatment offered at Dermatology Treatment and Research Center can be completed in as little as 20 minutes and require no downtime. You may be advised to avoid excessive sweating or sun exposure, but otherwise you can go about your life as usual while knowing your skin is being healed and restored.
Most patients see results in as little as one or two sessions. You may require more depending on the skin issue you’re looking to resolve or the size of the treatment area. Follow up sessions to maintain your results can be easily scheduled online depending on your provider’s suggested regimen.
If you’re ready to look as young as you feel, our anti-aging treatment options are a great alternative to more intensive procedures like plastic surgery. We’re ready to help you achieve your aesthetic goals and feel confident in the skin you’re in.
Prevention of Wrinkles and Fine Lines
There are many ways to prevent or reduce the effects of photoaging. If avoiding the sun is not possible, it is essential to use sunscreen with an adequate SPF, and wear a hat and/or protective clothing. Avoiding smoking, eating a balanced diet and minimizing stress also help skin to look its best.
