How do I know if my wrinkles are dynamic or static—and why does it matter?
Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repeated muscle movement, such as frowning, squinting, or smiling. Static wrinkles form over time due to collagen loss, gravity, or sun damage. During your consultation, we’ll help you understand the difference and design the right combination for your skin.
Can wrinkle reduction treatments be done preventively?
Yes—starting early with low-dose neurotoxins, collagen-stimulating treatments, or light resurfacing lasers can prevent deeper lines from forming. Many patients in their late 20s or 30s use these options to stay ahead of aging while preserving natural expression.
Will I look frozen or unnatural after wrinkle injections?
Not at Ciaravino Total Beauty. We specialize in refined, natural-looking results that preserve your facial expressions. Our injectors are trained to use conservative, strategic doses and to focus on subtle smoothing—never stiffness.
How do I maintain my wrinkle reduction results?
We’ll guide you through a maintenance plan based on your treatment. Most neurotoxins are refreshed every 3–4 months, fillers every 6–18 months, and collagen-stimulating treatments like Sculptra or laser once or twice a year. Great skin also comes from daily care, so we often recommend medical-grade skincare to support long-term results.
What’s the best treatment for deep wrinkles that don’t move?
Deep, etched-in lines often need a layered approach. We may recommend Contour TRL laser resurfacing to physically smooth the skin, along with filler or Sculptra to restore lost support from below. Your plan will be tailored based on the depth and location of the wrinkle.
Are wrinkle reduction treatments safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. We carefully select devices like Pixel8-RF and PRP that are safe for melanin-rich skin and customize laser settings to avoid pigment disruption. Every patient’s safety and results are top priorities in our practice.
Is there any downtime after wrinkle reduction treatments?
It depends on the treatment. Neurotoxins and fillers have little to no downtime, while laser resurfacing or RF microneedling may require 2–7 days of mild redness, dryness, or peeling. We’ll prepare you with clear aftercare and recovery timelines so you can plan accordingly.
Are results immediate?
Some are—dermal fillers show instant improvement, while neurotoxins take about 3–7 days to settle. Treatments like Sculptra, laser, or PRP work over time by building collagen, with visible results developing over weeks to months for the most natural, long-lasting effect.
