Looking to get rid of unwanted wrinkles? Dr. David Hecker and Dr. Melanie Hecker at Hecker Dermatology Group in Pompano Beach and Tamarac, FL offer various treatment options to smooth your skin.

Options for Treating Your Wrinkles

Nobody wants to live with wrinkles – especially when they seem to develop prematurely. However, various daily factors can make and a lack of proper skin care can age your skin. Below, Dr. David, Dr. Melanie, and the team at Hecker Dermatology Group in Pompano Beach and Tamarac, FL share ways to reduce and smooth out your wrinkles.

Take Care of Your Skin

One of the most important things to do to keep a youthful look is to take care of your skin every day. This includes wearing sunscreen, cleaning and moisturizing your skin, limiting the number of products you apply, and using the right products for your skin type and needs. Working with a dermatologist can help you develop an effective skincare routine with the best products for you.

In-Office Treatments

If proper skin care isn’t providing the results you want or you need a little boost, there are various procedures and treatment options available, including the following.

• HydraFacial: HydraFacials are an amazing option to remove dead skin cells and hydrate the skin, which can help treat fine lines and wrinkles.
• Chemical peels: Chemical peels are effective in removing the upper damaged levels of skin. They can be a great option for milder wrinkles. However, deeper ones typically require other techniques, such as those below.
• Laser skin resurfacing: Like chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing can remove layers of damaged skin. However, it can penetrate deeper and utilizes laser energy to stimulate natural healing mechanisms.
• Botox and dermal fillers: Both of these options are non-invasive. Botox works by paralyzing the muscles beneath the wrinkles. Fillers only fill in the wrinkles. Botox typically lasts longer, however, fillers are often preferred as they are more temporary and don’t cause more lasting side effects.
• Non-surgical lifting: Ultherapy is a technique that acts as a facelift but without the cutting. Instead, it sends ultrasound waves deep into the tissues to encourage collagen production, which naturally tightens the skin at the foundational layer. This layer was once only able to be accessed through surgery, but current technology makes it a completely non-invasive technique.
