Lines & Wrinkles

Softening Lines, Wrinkles, and Expression Creases

Restoring Smooth, Rested-Looking Skin

The Biological Cause
Every frown, squint, and raised brow contracts the muscles beneath the skin and folds the surface above them. In youth the skin springs back flat; after years of repetition those folds become etched in place as “dynamic” lines across the forehead, between the brows, and fanning from the corners of the eyes.

At the same time, the skin’s underlying collagen and elastin thins, and the deep fat that once kept it taut begins to deflate. With less support beneath it, the skin shows crease even at rest — turning temporary expression lines into “static” wrinkles and deeper folds.

Our Clinical Approach
Because wrinkles arise two different ways, they call for different tools tailored to you presentation. At Kootenay Cosmetic Clinic we can relax the overactive muscles behind dynamic lines with precisely dosed BOTOX, replace lost structure with the resilient Teoxane RHA collection, and rebuild the skin’s own collagen at depth with the InMode Morpheus8 and Forma platforms — sequenced to soften the lines you have while slowing the ones still forming.
