Wrinkle Treatment in Los Angeles/Santa Monica
As we grow older, our skin begins to age. Skin aging occurs across the entire body, but it is typically most apparent in the form of wrinkles on skin that has had the most exposure to the sun, such as the face, neck, and hands. Since youthfulness is one of the most desirable physical traits today, the prevention and reduction of wrinkles has become a top concern for many people. There are other factors that can increase the amount of wrinkles a person may have, including smoking, fair skin, and genetics. While some of these factors are out of our control, we can manage our exposure to the sun by wearing sunscreen, protective clothing, and even choosing certain hairstyles, and by refraining from smoking tobacco.
Taking preventative measures is important, but there are also many ways to reduce the appearance of wrinkles after they have formed. Treatment for wrinkles will depend on the type of wrinkling that your skin has undergone. There are two main categories of wrinkles: fine surface lines and deep furrows. For the reduction of fine surface lines, your doctor may recommend that you try prescription or over-the-counter topical creams, but these creams will not eliminate deep furrows. When wrinkles have progressed further, your dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon can suggest other treatments, which are discussed below.

Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a popular approach to diminishing the appearance of wrinkles. Fillers are injected into the dermis, beneath the targeted treatment area. The flexible material in fillers increases or replaces the skin’s volume, thus reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Fillers can be used to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, plump up lips, reduce the appearance of scars, and lift deep folds in the skin. Results typically last from 3 to 6 months, so repeat treatments are needed to maintain results; however, the procedure to place fillers into the skin is usually quick, relatively painless, and will not cause the patient any downtime. Los Angeles dermatologist, Dr. Daniel Behroozan offers many different types of fillers, including Collagen, Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane/Perlane, and Prevelle. After examining your skin and gaining an understanding of your cosmetic goals, he will be able to recommend a filler that will give you the results you desire.
Botox and Dysport
Botox and Dysport are popular treatments that work by relaxing facial muscles, thus reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles. The results of Botox and Dysport typically last for 3 to 8 months. When receiving Botox or Dysport injections, it is important to choose a doctor, like Dr. Behroozan, who is skilled in producing a natural look without looking overdone or fake.
Obagi Blue Peel
The Obagi Blue Peel can produce numerous positive results for your skin, including the reduction of fine surface winkles. This peel will leave your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated, and has a shorter recovery period than other similar peels.
Laser Treatments
One of the most advanced wrinkle treatments available today is the QuadraLASE Fractional CO2 Laser Treatment, which offers a permanent solution to wrinkles. The procedure takes about 1 hour to perform, and results can be seen within a few days. A laser will be used to send carbon dioxide energy beams into the skin, creating tiny holes in the skin that will trigger the body to produce more collagen. The increased collagen production results in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Since this treatment utilizes your body’s natural processes, the results are very natural.
Dr. Daniel Behroozan, a skilled and attentive dermatologist in the Santa Monica area, can discuss current treatment options for wrinkle reduction with you and help you determine which approach will be of greatest benefit. With all of the treatment techniques available today, achieving a more youthful appearance is now easier than ever. Dr. Behroozan has been serving patients in the Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Hollywood, Santa Monica and other nearby cities.
