Smile Lines, also known as Laugh Lines, are wrinkles that occur on the sides of the mouth and can also occur around the eyes too. As we age, this type of facial wrinkle becomes more defined and are more likely to show in people who express their facial muscles more often than others.
Wrinkles show a life full of laughter and a life that’s been well lived. At the Este Medical Group, we want you to feel like the best version of yourself which is why we offer treatments that can reduce the appearance of fine lines and facial wrinkles.
Smile Lines are caused by repetitive facial expressions. As we age, our skin loses its elasticity and collagen, resulting in thinner, sagging skin – When your skin is stretchy like this, more wrinkles are created.
Sun exposure, smoking and genetics can also cause wrinkles. At the Este Medical Group, we offer various types of treatments to deal with laugh lines that are suitable for both men and women and their specific cause of laugh lines.
We offer a range of treatments that can target and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Unsure of what treatments will be the best for you? When you come for your consultation, our skin will advise you on the best choice for your goals.
When we use the Visia Digital Skin Analysis to assess your skin, we are using a tool that allows us to see deep below the surface layer of your skin and detect a multiple of potential concerns. This advanced technology allows us to pick up on issues such as spots, wrinkles, texture, pores, UV spots, scars, red areas, porphyrins and more.
