What are treatment options for Katy area patients seeking wrinkle removal?

Wrinkles. No one wants to admit that they are creeping up with fine lines and folds on the face because this means they are aging. And the signs of aging are nothing to laugh at! When patients in the area of Katy are interested in combating fine lines and wrinkles on the face, they take the time to speak with a dermatological professional about wrinkle removal. Wrinkle removal can be achieved without plastic surgery options, so it is rather important for patients to consult with Dr. Seymour Weaver about ways to achieve a more youthful look.

Dr. Seymour Weaver of Dr. W Dermatology is a dermatologist with years of experience who offers a wide range of cosmetic solutions for patients interested in turning back the hands of time. He provides wrinkle removal options that can be chosen based on the severity of skin laxity and the budget of his patients. Below are just a few of the more common treatments used for wrinkle removal in his practice:

Laser Resurfacing

Laser therapies are growing in popularity because they are fast, easy, effective, and can help patients achieve results they may have never before realized were attainable. Laser treatments can stimulate collagen production and resurface the skin, not only improving the signs of aging but enhancing texture and tone.

Injectables

Cosmetic injectables are also a way to quickly address unwanted fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Injectables include neuromodulators such as Botox as well as dermal fillers (made of hyaluronic acid) which are administered directly into the wrinkles for immediate enhancement.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is a popular solution as it can also improve texture and tone of the skin while addressing many cosmetic and medical conditions such as acne. Dermabrasion is an affordable option that many patients consider because it can provide long-term results.

Chemical Peels

Peels are available in many ranges of aggressiveness from mild to strong. Dr. Seymour Weaver of Dr. W Dermatology can make suggestions on the type of chemical peel used to resurface the skin. These are quick, easy, and effective.

Skin Tightening

Tightening the skin with laser therapies and radio frequency energy treatments are a great way to not only reduce fine lines and wrinkles but to improve skin laxity. Skin laxity occurs due to the loss of collagen in the skin which causes it to loosen and sag. This contributes to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. When resolved, it can reduce the signs of aging.

Skin Care Products

Products such as special moisturizers and antioxidant creams are just two common skin care solutions for patients who want to slow the signs of aging. Patients may also be advised to use Retinol and/or alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) products to enhance the youthfulness of their skin as well.
