In what order do wrinkles appear?

In our thirties, the first wrinkles become visible—fine lines around the eyes and in the forehead, and worry lines between the brows. These wrinkles, called "expression lines," are caused by repetitive muscular movements.

Next, in our forties, other problems appear—grooves running from the base of the nose to the mouth and lines around the upper lip. These wrinkles are linked to the loss of subcutaneous fat as well as loss of elasticity in the skin. Smoking and sun exposure exacerbate the problem.

Then, in our fifties, the frown lines and jowls become more visible, further accentuating the aging of the face.

Dr. Hayot's Technique

Because of significant progress in aesthetic medicine, today all these different kinds of wrinkles can be treated by injections rather than surgery. In a single session, it's possible to rejuvenate the entire face. Expression lines, for example, can be treated from the moment they appear with Botox.

Facial grooves and wrinkles stemming from loss of fat, as well as frown lines and jowls, can be corrected with hyaluronic acid injections. The mouth area often requires a combination treatment, using both Botox and hyaluronic acid. toxine botulique et d'acide hyaluronique.

The Mini-Lift

Sometime when the entire face sag , the mini-lift is the best approach, particularly when loss of muscle and skin tone results in jowls and grooves, and a laxity in the neck. A mini-lift can reposition the musculature and skin.

The Mini-Lift Concept

Performed under a local anesthetic on outpatients, the skin is first lightly loosened and the muscles repositioned. Socialization is curtailed for a maximum period of 8 to 15 days. The result looks natural, because repositioning the muscles does not in any way lead to a "pulled" or "plastic surgery" look.

These techniques should be combined as necessary. Together, they allow the patient to take charge of aging, keeping the face looking young and neutralizing the signs of time.
