Book your appointment online or by phone today to begin a path toward softer, smoother skin. 

What is the primary cause of wrinkles?

Collagen loss is the biggest contributing factor to skin wrinkling. When you’re young, your skin has a thick layer of collagen, which keeps skin plump and creates the rounded facial contouring often referred to as a “baby face.”

Over time, much of that collagen is naturally lost, and your body doesn’t replenish it automatically. Without the same support, skin begins to sag and poll into lines, folds, and wrinkles. 

Sun damage, exposure to environmental toxins, and issues like acne, dryness, and irritation can also exacerbate the visible signs of aging. But lower levels of collagen are the most impactful change. 

How does wrinkle reduction work?

Professional, medical-grade wrinkle reduction works by triggering your body to produce more collagen. There are a few ways to achieve this goal, all of which prompt your body’s powerful abilities to self-renew. 

TempSure® Envi

This approach uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin just enough to trigger a natural healing reaction. Your body responds by kicking collagen and elastin production into overdrive. Those new cells form a thick layer, tightening skin and smoothing away wrinkles. 

Potenza®

Combining microneedling with radiofrequency delivers impressive results. Microneedling uses sterile needles to prompt a strong healing response, building new collagen and elastin from within. Incorporating radiofrequency energy triggers even more cell development to soften and smooth the appearance of wrinkles. 

LaseMD® Ultra

With this option, laser energy is the source of the heat that brings on new cell development. The outer layers of skin are kept at a safe and comfortable temperature, while the deeper layers are heated enough to prompt new collagen and elastin development. Treatments can also help lessen hyperpigmentation.

When you arrive for your consultation, your practitioner assesses your skin and discusses your goals to help you find the right treatment path. 

What is the right age to pursue wrinkle reduction?

There’s no specific age for women to pursue wrinkle reduction. Some women pursue treatment as soon as those first fine lines develop. Others prefer to wait until wrinkles become more pronounced before exploring treatment options. 

No matter your age, the team at Ramos Women’s Wellness Center is here to guide you toward the treatments and services that offer the best results for your specific concerns. When you’re ready to explore the possibilities, call the office to schedule a visit or book online.
