Aging is inevitable. However, there are things that you can do to slow down its signs. Every wrinkle has its own external as well as internal cause. Here are the most common types of wrinkles and how you can prevent and treat them.
Elastotic
Elastotic wrinkles come as a consequence of the loss of elastic structure in the skin due to excessive sun exposure. These appear mainly on the upper lips, cheeks, and base of your neck and can become permanent over time. You can prevent elastotic wrinkles from becoming permanent by using sunscreen, not smoking, and avoiding too much sun. If elastotic wrinkles have become permanent, you can also correct them using BOTOX®.
Expression
Expression wrinkles appear as a result of making the same expression repeatedly. They are a collection of small moments from each time you squinted, laughed or frowned. Expression lines deepen with age since the skin loses its natural elasticity. Excess skin, excess check fat, thinning skin as well as ptosis of check fat are also frequent contributors of expression wrinkles. Unless you want to become a robot, there is not much you can do to prevent them. The best recommendable treatment, however, is BOTOX® since it weakens the muscles in the skin.
Gravitational
Gravitational wrinkles are caused by deflation of tissues above the wrinkles as a result of the effects of gravity together with the loss of collagen and elasticity due to aging. They usually look like sagging skin and are often more visible on a lean face with thinner skin than on people with a plumper face with thicker skin. You should start taking care of your skin as early as possible by eating a balanced diet, exercising and drinking lots of water instead of waiting to age before you do so. Gravitational wrinkles can be corrected by inflating the deflated areas of the skin using fat grafts or Botox.
Compression
Compression wrinkles usually form when you squish your face on your pillow during sleep. You can prevent its appearance by sleeping on your back or using special pillows that take some pressure from your skin.
Everybody reacts differently to aging. Some people begin to show signs of aging at an earlier age than others because of divergent genes. Some people seem to naturally defy signs of aging while other people seem to do everything to keep off aging, yet none of the ways seem to work. If you wish to get rid of wrinkles, BOTOX® is a suitable treatment option for you. Contact us today at Pacific Vein Care to find out more about getting BOTOX® and shed years from your face!
Thought about you in Hawaii

I can walk to my mail box again
by John Neumann, patient
Category: reviews“I had problems walking to my mail box when I went to Pacific Vein Care. Dr. Conti found I had vein reflux and artery problems in both of my legs. He did his normal vein procedure on one leg and a special procedure at the hospital on the other leg and corrected the artery problems at the same time. I am very happy with the results from the procedures done at Pacific Vein Care to correct both my veins and artery problems. I can walk to my mail box again and not have to stop and rest part way there.”
I am pleased to say my quality of life is back
by Barbara Hoffman, patient
Category: reviews“For thirty Years I have put up with leg pain, throbbing and swelling due to varicose veins. At 63 years old, I made a choice to have Radiofrequency Ablation therapy and I am pleased to say my quality of life is back. I can now take long walks, exercise and stand for long period of time without discomfort. I recently purchased a pair of tall stylish boots and I can actually zip them up because I no longer suffer from edema.”
The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.
by Wayne, patient
Category: reviews“I recently – April/May of 2012 – had VNUS procedures done on my right and left legs. Dr. Conti and his staff were superb in the diagnosis and treatment of my condition. The process was fully explained to me and were virtually pain free. There was some discomfort in the week or two after the procedures which were easily handled by over the counter pain medications. I was impressed with Dr. Conti’s knowledge and professionalism and would recommend anyone waiting to treat their varicose veins NOT to wait. The procedures were not hard to go through and the result was a tremendous relief.”
