TREATMENT OF FACIAL LINES, WRINKLES AND FURROWS
Introduction
The last few years have seen a massive explosion in the number of treatments available for reducing facial lines, wrinkles and furrows.
These treatments can be divided into the following categories
- semi-permanent (temporary) including fat transfer
- permanent
Implants, which are permanent but removable
- Dermabrasion
- Chemical Peels 1. Superficial, 2. Deep
- Laser
- Injection treatment
Tissue culture injections (Isolagen)
It must be emphasised that treatment depends on the severity and extent of the problem, the site of the problem as well as the preference of surgeon and patient alike once all the options have been discussed and considered.
