Every wrinkle and line on the face carries meaning, shaped by years of expression, lifestyle choices, genetics, and the environment you live in. In Arizona, the dry climate and frequent sun exposure impact how quickly these changes appear on the skin, sometimes making them more noticeable than you’d like. When you decide you want to reduce their appearance, we have several different options at Lazaderm that we offer to our patients in Chandler, AZ.
What Causes Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
Fine lines and wrinkles develop when the natural building blocks of the skin begin to weaken. Collagen and elastin, two proteins that give the skin its structure and ability to stretch, slowly decrease as part of the aging process. When these proteins decline, skin loses its firmness and becomes less resilient to repeated movement and environmental stressors. The skin also produces less natural oil, which leads to dryness and more visible creasing. External factors such as frequent sun exposure, smoking, and air pollution accelerate these changes by breaking down collagen faster.
Types of Facial Lines and Wrinkles
Fine lines: Fine lines are the earliest signs of aging. They tend to form around delicate areas such as the eyes and mouth, where the skin is thinner. Sunlight, dry air, and reduced moisture levels can make these lines stand out more clearly. Fine lines can eventually progress into more pronounced wrinkles if left untreated.
Dynamic wrinkles: Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated muscle activity, such as smiling, squinting, or frowning. Each time you use those muscles, the skin folds in the same place, and as elasticity decreases, the fold remains visible even when the face is at rest.
Static wrinkles: Static wrinkles stay visible even when your face is completely relaxed. They result from a combination of collagen loss, reduced skin thickness, and long-term effects of sun damage and can appear on the face and neck. Preventing static wrinkles requires protecting the skin from UV exposure and supporting collagen production.
Our Treatment Options for Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators relax the small muscles responsible for repeated facial movements that cause dynamic lines. When the muscle movement is limited, the skin above them smooths out, and lines become less noticeable. People often ask us how to get rid of wrinkles around the eyes or forehead, and neuromodulators are one of the most effective approaches for these areas.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers, like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, restore lost volume beneath the skin, which helps soften etched lines and folds. The gel-like, injectable material adds structure and creates smoother contours, especially around the mouth, cheeks, and chin. We use them frequently for facial line treatments in Arizona, where dry weather can accentuate facial creasing. Fillers vary in thickness, allowing us to treat both delicate surface lines and deeper folds.
Biostimulators
Biostimulators, like Sculptra®, work differently from fillers because they stimulate your body to gradually build new collagen. When injected, they create a framework under the skin that encourages the skin to rebuild its own support system. Sculptra offers natural-looking results that last up to two years.
Erbium Laser Resurfacing
Erbium laser resurfacing removes damaged surface cells while heating the underlying tissue to stimulate collagen renewal. This smooths lines, evens skin texture, and restores a more youthful surface. It can be one of the best treatments for wrinkles on the face because it works deep within the skin and offers long-term improvement. The depth of the treatment can be adjusted to match your skin type and the severity of your wrinkles.
BBL® HERO™
BBL HERO uses broadband light energy to target pigment and redness while also stimulating collagen production. The light energy reduces visible sun damage and improves texture, which in turn softens fine lines. It is especially beneficial in Arizona, where sun exposure often accelerates the development of wrinkles. Treatments are quick and involve little to no downtime.
Hydrafacial®
Hydrafacials combine cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in one treatment session. Infusing moisture and nourishing ingredients into the skin helps restore a healthy barrier and makes wrinkles less pronounced. We can add special serums to combat dryness, environmental stress, and early signs of aging, and we can include LED treatments for more comprehensive results. Our wrinkle treatments in Arizona keep your skin resilient and hydrated, especially if you schedule them regularly.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning gently removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair with a precise surgical blade. This exfoliation technique provides immediate benefits by revealing the smooth underlying skin, and it also helps stimulate collagen and cell turnover. Dermaplaning helps in the treatment of wrinkles, especially superficial lines that become more visible when the skin surface looks dull. It is gentle and pairs well with other rejuvenation options.
Secret™ RF Microneedling
Secret RF microneedling combines radiofrequency energy with microneedles to stimulate collagen production within the skin. The microneedles create controlled channels while the radiofrequency energy heats the tissue, encouraging tighter and smoother skin. RF microneedling treats fine lines, scars, laxity, and much more, and treatments are customizable depending on the area of concern and the degree of skin aging.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion uses a device with fine crystals or a diamond tip to polish away surface debris and promote new skin growth. The treatment improves skin tone, smooths rough patches, and reduces the appearance of lines. Regular sessions build on each other and support other treatments.
PDO Thread Lift
PDO thread lift treatments use dissolvable sutures to lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen in the process. The threads provide an immediate lifting effect while also encouraging longer-term improvement in firmness and wrinkles. They are especially helpful for the lower face and jawline, where skin laxity contributes to deeper folds. As the threads dissolve, the collagen network they trigger helps maintain smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
The Treatment Process for Lines and Wrinkles
Consultation and planning: We begin with a careful evaluation of your skin, lifestyle, and goals so we can recommend options that match what you want to see in your skin. During this stage, we explain how each treatment works and which choices may be most effective for you.
Treatment session: Depending on the option selected, we may use injectables, energy-based devices, or resurfacing techniques to target the lines and wrinkles. We make sure each treatment is comfortable with topical numbing, built-in cooling technology, regular check-ins, and more.
Follow-up and maintenance: After your session, we will give you instructions on how to care for your skin and when to return for your next visit. Consistency is important for many of our treatments, so ongoing support will help you maintain smooth, wrinkle-free skin.
