Wrinkle Treatment Options in Santa Barbara

Wrinkles: Everybody gets them. Not everybody wants them.

Wrinkles develop at different times for different people, depending on everything from genetics, to the environment, to your skincare routine. As our skin’s ability to maintain moisture and elasticity decreases, sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles appear.

Luckily there are numerous ways to reduce – and even eliminate – the appearance of wrinkles. Keep reading for an introduction into the various anti-aging skincare treatment options available at The G Spa.

Wrinkle Relaxers and Fillers

Wrinkle Relaxers

We offer two of the most popular FDA-approved neurotoxins to relax unwanted wrinkles and soften your appearance.

• Botox Cosmetic temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines and crow’s feet in adults by targeting the underlying cause: repeated muscle contractions from frowning and/or squinting.
• Xeomin is a clinically proven neurotoxin that blocks the release of chemicals which cause muscle contractions, so frown lines are softened.

Injections reduce muscle activity so you’re left with subtle results that enhance your beautiful features. Forget your fear of a “frozen” look!

Dermal Fillers

We also offer a full range of volumizing fillers to reverse the signs of aging and help restore a healthy, robust look. Fillers are made of natural or synthetic substances injected below the skin.

Our motto is, “If someone can tell you had Botox or fillers, you had too much!” Filler should be subtle – never overdone! Dr. Griffin is an expert at bringing out your natural beauty, not changing you into someone else. Here’s a rundown on a few of the fillers we offer:

• The Juvederm family of fillers (including Vollure, Voluma, and Volbella) are hyaluronic acid dermal fillers approved for the correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds.
• Belotero Balance is a dermal filler that is approved to temporarily smooth out and fill in moderate to severe nasolabial folds. It is also useful to fill under the eyes and very fine lines.
• Bellafill is the only dermal filler that stimulates collagen growth long term to help maintain your youthful appearance for up to five years.

Wrinkle Reduction with Lasers

Elite MPX

Did you know genetics only determine about 20% of the aging process? You have the power to fight premature skin aging! The Elite MPX uses laser light to revitalize fine lines and wrinkles, reversing the effects of sun and environmental skin damage. With laser skin rejuvenation, your body’s immune system reacts to the procedure by stimulating new collagen production to replace wrinkled skin with new healthy cells. This results in skin tone and texture improvement.

Laser Skin rejuvenation with PicoSure

With PicoSure® laser skin rejuvenation, reversing the signs of aging and naturally turning back the clock on your skin is easy. PicoSure’s advanced picosecond laser repairs fine lines and wrinkles without causing painful side effects or damaging your skin. Unlike expensive skin care serums and moisturizers, PicoSure works by using laser light beams to reach deep below the surface of the skin to repair wrinkled and sun-damaged skin. As the body’s immune system heals the laser-damaged tissues, fine lines and wrinkles are replaced with new skin cells.

Laser anti-aging procedures are fast. While multiple sessions are recommended to achieve the best results, the treatments aren’t painful and require no anesthesia.

 

Everyone is unique and everyone has different goals for improving their appearance. We are committed to helping you choose the right options for you.
