Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. As we get older, the skin loses collagen, elastin, and fat, leading to fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, and changes in skin texture. Fortunately, with today’s advanced technology and expert care from Dr. Beverly Fischer, you have a variety of safe, effective options to smooth, tighten, and rejuvenate your appearance.
Understanding Wrinkles
Wrinkles are creases or folds in the skin’s surface caused by a combination of internal and external factors. Fine lines are shallow, surface-level creases, but dynamic wrinkles, like crow’s feet and frown lines, tend to deepen over time. Static wrinkles are visible even when the face is at rest and result from a combination of common causes. Understanding the type of wrinkle is key to choosing the most effective treatment.
Potential Causes
- Aging: The natural aging process leads to lost volume, slower collagen production, and thinning skin.
- Sun Exposure: Direct sun exposure accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to age spots.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, high blood pressure, blood thinners, and medical conditions can all increase the risk of wrinkles.
- Facial Movement: Repetitive motions, like smiling or frowning, create expression lines over time.
- Genetics: Family history can influence how early and severely you experience wrinkles.
Who is Affected by Wrinkles?
Most patients begin to notice fine lines in their late 20s to early 30s, with more pronounced wrinkles appearing in their 40s and beyond. Both men and women experience visible signs of aging, particularly in the treatment area of the face and neck skin. More recently, younger patients are seeking preventative treatments to keep wrinkles from developing.

Services for Wrinkles
Dr. Fischer offers a full range of non-surgical and surgical treatments to address different stages of skin aging and individual goals:
Facials and Chemical Peels
Options like Hydrafacial and Chemical Peels are less invasive options that work to exfoliate the top layer of skin to improve tone and texture. These treatments target fine lines, dullness, and signs of sun damage, helping to refresh and smooth the skin without downtime.
Light and Lasers
Advanced skin resurfacing treatments like CO2 Laser, Halo Laser, and Forever Young BBL stimulate collagen growth and improve the skin condition from within a deeper layer of the skin. These options are ideal for reducing age spots, wrinkles, and improving overall skin quality.
Injectables & Fillers
Botox and Dysport work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, helping to soften wrinkles that form from repeated expressions. These injectable treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and require little to no downtime.
For deeper wrinkles and volume loss, filling the areas with Juvederm, Restylane, and fat grafting are highly effective. The fillers, often formulated with hyaluronic acid, are used to restore lost volume, smooth creases, and enhance a variety of facial areas.
Surgical Options
For more advanced aging, facelift surgery, neck lift, or eyelid lift procedures may be recommended. These plastic surgery procedures are performed under either general anesthesia or local/PO sedation to remove excess skin, reposition underlying structures, and tighten skin elasticity for dramatic, long-lasting results.
Miscellaneous Cosmetic Options
Minimally invasive treatments like microneedling and thread lifts offer collagen stimulation and lift for mild to moderate sagging skin and wrinkles, with low risk and little downtime.
