Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Why do I have fine lines and wrinkles? 

Fine lines and wrinkles develop naturally with age, but some people have more than others. This is often due to genetics, so if your parents started to get wrinkles early or developed deep wrinkles, chances are you will as well.

Other factors that accelerate aging and wrinkle development include:

• Sun exposure
• Smoking
• Poor diet
• Lack of hydration
• Drug and alcohol misuse
• Stress
• Lack of sleep
• Poor skincare
• Hormonal changes

Hormones play a significant role in aging. For example, the female sex hormone estrogen boosts collagen production. Collagen is a protein that keeps skin and underlying tissues plump and elastic, so when estrogen production drops during menopause, collagen production also plummets.

The result is thinner, less elastic skin that’s more prone to wrinkles and lines.

What can I do about fine lines and wrinkles?

You can improve and protect your skin by adopting healthy lifestyle changes. These might include using a high-factor suncream, drinking plenty of water, exercising regularly, and tackling issues like smoking and stress.

Brunswick Internal Medicine offers Harmony XL PRO ClearLift to address existing fine lines and wrinkles.

This non-ablative skin resurfacing treatment achieves outstanding results without damaging your skin’s surface. You can undergo ClearLift to reduce fine lines and wrinkles during your lunch hour, returning to work the same day with no one realizing you’ve had treatment.

How does ClearLift help with fine lines and wrinkles?

ClearLift targets the underlying causes of fine lines and wrinkles within your deeper skin layers. The device produces short, potent light bursts that reach the skin’s inner tissues. The light energy stimulates collagen production and breaks apart abnormal pigmentation.

ClearLift is suitable for patients of all skin types and ages. It’s powerful but causes virtually no pain and is gentle enough for use on the most delicate parts of your skin.

What happens during a ClearLift fine line and wrinkle treatment?

During the first consultation at Brunswick Internal Medicine, your provider assesses your skin so they can design a personalized treatment plan. Most patients see the best results after three sessions, although improvements typically begin after one treatment.

Session time varies according to treatment area size and your personalized care plan but could last from 30 to 60 minutes.
