Wrinkle Reduction in Greenwich

For fine lines and wrinkles to form, two things need to happen. You need repetitive facial movements and changes in skin elasticity. For wrinkle reduction, patients will need a treatment that targets one or both of these. At Dr. Mahsa Sohrab’s practice, patients can explore multiple options for nonsurgical wrinkle reduction in Greenwich, CT, with a top oculoplastic surgeon.

How Wrinkle Reduction Works

Our wrinkle reduction treatments work to adjust the root causes of wrinkle formation: facial movement and skin changes.

Wrinkle Reduction with Neuromodulators

Neurotoxin injections will block nerve signals that cause muscle contraction. By precisely dampening certain muscles, we can reduce formation of wrinkles caused by them. Importantly, this does not mean eliminating your ability to emote with facial expressions. Rather, it involves targeted reduction of certain muscles to let the skin relax.

Wrinkle Reduction with Skin Rejuvenation

Laser treatments, microneedling, and other energy-based treatments can help reduce wrinkles and fine lines by targeting collagen production. Aging naturally leads to less collagen in the skin, which results in lost elasticity. In turn, this leads to wrinkles. Nonsurgical therapies designed to boost collagen production can reduce wrinkles by helping replace what it has lost.

The Combination Approach

The most effective means of wrinkle reduction is when you address both facial movement and lost elasticity. By combining treatments like neuromodulators with skin rejuvenation, patients can tackle the issue from both ends.

I really like Dr. Sohrab. I’ve been using her for approximately six months and not only is she caring but she’s also very competent. She knows I have some medical issues and she won’t try to push things on me or procedures if she feels that they would not be good for me and they wouldn’t complement me. I highly recommend her!

Wrinkle Reduction FAQs

What types of wrinkles can neuromodulators treat?

Neurotoxin injections most effectively work for dynamic wrinkles caused by facial muscle contractions. Common treatment concerns include:

Forehead lines (caused by raising eyebrows)
Glabellar lines (aka “frown lines,” caused by frowning or concentrating)
Crow’s feet (lines radiating from eyes, caused by smiling or squinting)

Am I a candidate for wrinkle reduction?

Most patients will qualify for at least some type of wrinkle reduction therapy. The right kind for you will depend on factors like:

Your skin’s health
The location of the wrinkles and lines
The severity of wrinkle formation
Preferred treatment methods
Age
Overall health

Nonsurgical wrinkle reduction is best for mild to moderate wrinkles. Patients with more notable skin aging may need a surgical solution to fully reach their goals.

When will I see results?

With neurotoxin injections, patients can start to see results around 3 to 7 days after treatment. With skin rejuvenation, initial results are usually apparent around 1 week. For both options, it can take time to see full results.

With neuromodulators, continued relaxation of targeted muscles helps gradually reduce wrinkles. With skin rejuvenation, the ongoing collagen production will gradually improve your skin over weeks to months.

How long do wrinkle reduction results last?

While results are temporary, patients can repeat treatments to maintain their benefits. For neurotoxin injections, the effects typically last 3 to 4 months. Touch-up treatments every 3 months help maintain your results.

With skin rejuvenation treatments, results can last from months to years. Lighter treatments may benefit from touch-ups every 6 months. Deeper treatments like laser resurfacing may last longer, though they can require a longer recovery period.

How much does wrinkle reduction cost?

Total costs for wrinkle reduction can vary quite a bit. First, it will depend on the treatment type. A single session of neurotoxin injections is often the fastest and more affordable starting point.

Additionally, the number of treatment areas and follow-up treatments can also influence the price. When considering costs, we also recommend looking at how often touch-up treatments are needed. Your consultation will help outline your expected costs. We provide clear, itemized pricing based on each treatment plan, with no commitment required.

What is the recovery like?

Recovery time will depend on your treatment type.

Neurotoxin Injections: Typically no downtime. Mild swelling for about a day.
Microneedling: 1 to 3 days of swelling or redness. Full surface skin recovery in less than 1 week.
Lighter Laser Therapy: Skin typically recovers within 1 week.
Deeper Laser Therapy: Recovery can take 1–3 weeks, with downtime of up to 1 week.

What should I avoid after wrinkle reduction treatment?

The exact post-treatment restrictions and instructions will depend on your treatment type and intensity. Generally, you will want to avoid strenuous activity until swelling resolves. Additionally, avoid anything that can irritate the treatment areas, such as excess sun exposure and abrasive products.
