If you notice wrinkles forming on your face, it’s a normal part of aging. Your skin loses moisture, collagen production is reduced, and your skin is not as supple as it once was. All of these factors lead to wrinkles forming along the lines of expression. Dr. Timothy Abrahamson at Greater Des Moines Dermatology in Urbandale, IA, offers comprehensive medical and cosmetic dermatology services, including several options to help reduce wrinkles. 

What You Need To Know About Wrinkles

It's common to develop wrinkles on your face. Over time, you may develop:

• Crow's feet, which are the wrinkles radiating out from the corners of your eyes
• Glabella, which are the deep creases between your eyebrows
• Furrows, which are the wrinkles across your forehead
• Marionette lines, which are the vertical lines from your mouth to your chin

Our dermatologist can help you reduce the appearance of wrinkles, using one or more highly effective treatments. Your dermatologist may recommend these treatments for fine lines: 

• Vitamin and antioxidant creams to minimize the appearance of wrinkles 
• Lotions with vitamin A acid to enhance skin tone and reduce the appearance of wrinkles 
• Alpha-hydroxy acid creams to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles  

Our dermatologist may recommend these treatments for larger, deeper wrinkles and creases: 

• Chemical peels to resurface your skin, revealing younger-looking skin underneath 
• Dermal fillers, like Juvederm or Restylane, to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, plumping and smoothing your skin 
• Wrinkle relaxers like Botox, to temporarily freeze the muscles and nerves at the injection site, making your skin smoother 

You don’t have to put up with wrinkles. You can get fast, effective wrinkle reduction, and it starts with a simple phone call to our dermatologist.
