How Targeted Wrinkle Correction by Area works
Dynamic lines come from muscle movement and respond to Botox or muscle reduction. Static lines from thin dermis improve with collagen-stimulating treatments and fat grafting. Folds caused by sagging need lifting.
Because most areas have more than one cause, treatments are combined in a plan for each area.
