Wrinkle Treatment in 535 Miller Ave
Mill Valley, CA 94941
Wrinkles are the foremost of all aesthetic concerns and one of the earliest visible signs of aging. Today, there are excellent ways to smooth them. At Aesthetic Dermatology And Skin Cancer, Inc., we use lasers, injectables, fillers, and chemical peels, alone or in combination, to soften lines and wrinkles and help you look refreshed and naturally youthful.
Why Wrinkles Form
As we age, the skin produces less collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep it firm and smooth. Sun exposure accelerates this breakdown, while repeated facial expressions create creases that eventually remain even when the face is at rest. Volume loss in the cheeks and temples, smoking, and genetics also play a role. Wrinkles generally fall into two categories:
- Dynamic wrinkles – lines caused by muscle movement, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet
- Static wrinkles and folds – lines that remain visible at rest due to collagen loss, sun damage, and volume loss
Our Wrinkle Treatment Options
A number of different procedures are available for the treatment of wrinkles:
- Dysport and Letybo – neuromodulators that relax the muscles behind expression lines
- Dermal fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra – restore lost volume and smooth deeper folds
- Fraxel Restore and fractional laser resurfacing – stimulate new collagen to improve fine lines, texture, and tone
- Microneedling – a minimally invasive collagen-boosting treatment for fine lines and skin quality
- Chemical peels – resurface the skin to improve fine lines and sun damage

Combining Treatments for Natural Results
The most natural, long-lasting improvement often comes from treating wrinkles in more than one way. For example, a neuromodulator can soften expression lines, a filler such as Restylane can restore volume, and Fraxel can refine the skin’s surface. Your provider will build a plan that addresses every layer of facial aging.

Wrinkle Treatment FAQs
What is the best treatment for wrinkles?
It depends on the type of wrinkle. Expression lines respond well to neuromodulators, folds and volume loss to fillers, and fine lines and texture to laser resurfacing or microneedling.
How long do wrinkle treatment results last?
Neuromodulators last about three to four months, fillers six months to two years depending on the product, and laser results can last for years with good sun protection.
At what age should I start treating wrinkles?
There is no set age. Many patients begin preventive treatments in their late twenties or thirties, while others start later. We’ll recommend what fits your skin and goals.
Can wrinkles around the eyes be treated?
Yes. Crow’s feet and fine lines around the eyes can be treated with neuromodulators, Fraxel Restore, and other options.
Is there downtime after wrinkle treatment?
Injectables require little to no downtime. Fraxel involves a few days of redness and swelling, while more aggressive resurfacing requires a longer recovery.
Can I combine wrinkle treatments?
Yes. Combining injectables, fillers, and resurfacing often produces the most natural and complete results.
How can I prevent new wrinkles?
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen, not smoking, a good skin care routine, and maintenance treatments all help slow the formation of new wrinkles.
