Wrinkles are pesky lines that appear out of nowhere and make us look older than we feel. Wrinkles result from the natural aging process, plus external factors like sun exposure, smoking, and poor skincare habits. As you age, your skin loses elasticity and moisture, which can cause wrinkles to form.

Fortunately, Dr. Timothy Abrahamson of Greater Des Moines Dermatology can help boost your confidence by offering a few effective treatments. From topical creams and serums to injectables and laser procedures, many options are available to help smooth out those wrinkles in Des Moines and Urbandale, IA, and restore a youthful appearance. If you feel self-conscious about your wrinkles, learn about your options for achieving smoother, more radiant skin.

Preventing Wrinkles in Adults

 Prevention is the key to avoiding wrinkles and maintaining youthful, healthy skin. While many treatments exist for wrinkles, it's better to prevent them from forming in the first place. You can help keep your skin looking smooth, radiant, and wrinkle-free for years by following these simple steps:

• Protecting your skin from the sun by wearing sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure
• Quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet rich in antioxidants
• Staying hydrated and maintaining a consistent skincare routine that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and exfoliating.
