Anti Aging Clinic in Vancouver

Anti-wrinkle Treatments

Wrinkles and fine lines are a part of the aging process. As we age, our skin starts getting thin, begins losing elasticity, and cannot protect itself. Facial expressions like smiling, frowning and squinting cause wrinkles and fines while we are young, and as we age, these lines get deeper. The skin springs back when these signs of aging appear at a young age. As we get older, the spring back is impossible and causes permanent grooves on your face.

Various other factors responsible for wrinkle development are as follows:

  • Sun Exposure
  • Dehydration
  • Smoking
  • Medications
  • Environmental and genetic factors

Harmful ultraviolet rays and outdoor sports are also one of the leading causes of wrinkles. Poor lifestyle habits, including smoking, increase the signs of aging, and the best anti-wrinkle treatment could ward them off.

Don’t let signs of aging prevent you from having a flawless and youthful appearance. Our team of physicians and professional skincare consultants at our anti-aging clinic devise treatment plans based on skin type, take steps to smooth wrinkles and make them less noticeable.
