Wrinkles cut or fill?
Wrinkles are caused by the contraction of the facial muscles, decrease of the elasticity of the skin, the loss of subcutaneous fatty tissue and by the influence of gravity.
It makes sense to deal with the causes of wrinkles. Facial grooves can be dealt with by a (mini)facelift, which places the skin back to its original position. Volume is added to the face with the injection of small amounts of fatty tissue. Wrinkles of the upper lip can be softened with a superficial laser treatment. Frown wrinkles disappear by injecting the underlying muscles with Botox.
