Fine Lines & Wrinkles Treatment
Expert, top-rated treatment for fine lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet and lines around the mouth
Fine lines and wrinkles are among the top concerns we address. They usually start around the eyes and forehead, then spread to the lips and the folds beside the mouth, and over time they change the shape of the whole face. No single treatment fits every line, because lines have different causes. At Deluxe Esthetics the cause decides the treatment, and every treatment is performed by Dr. Maxim Godko, DDS, FICOI, an 8-Time Top Dentist and official Care Esthetics partner, at a practice with 800+ five-star reviews. Start with a $49 in-person consultation, applied to your treatment.

What Are Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
Fine lines and wrinkles are creases in the skin. Fine lines sit close to the surface. With age, as the skin loses elasticity and firmness, they can deepen into set wrinkles.
They often start around the eyes and forehead before spreading to the lips and the nasolabial folds, the lines from nose to mouth. Over time they can give the impression of sagging skin and change the natural contours of the face. Behind these changes are less firmness, changes in texture and reduced collagen production.

What Causes Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
Aging is the main cause. Several other things speed it up.
Sun Exposure
Years of sun are one of the biggest outside causes of lines.
Facial Movement
Frowning, squinting and raising your brows fold the same skin again and again.
Smoking
Smoking is linked to earlier and deeper wrinkles.
Sleep
Poor sleep habits show in the skin.
Diet and Hydration
What you eat and drink affects how your skin ages.
Fine Lines vs. Wrinkles, and Lines That Move vs. Lines That Stay
Two distinctions decide how a line is treated.
Lines You See When Your Face Moves
Forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet are made by the muscles under them. These are treated by relaxing the muscle, with Botox.
Lines You See When Your Face Is at Rest
Lines that stay, such as the folds from nose to mouth, come from lost volume and thinner skin. These are treated by restoring volume and rebuilding collagen.
Fine lines are the shallow ones, close to the surface. Wrinkles are fine lines that have set deeper. Treating lines early keeps the treatment simple.
Wrinkles by Name: Forehead Lines, Crow’s Feet, Smile Lines and the Rest
Every line on the face has a name, a cause and a treatment that suits it. These are the ones patients ask about most.
Forehead Lines
The horizontal lines made by raising your brows. They are lines of movement, so the way to get rid of forehead wrinkles is to relax the muscle with Botox.
Frown Lines, the 11s
The vertical lines between the eyebrows, made by frowning. Botox relaxes the muscles that fold them.
Crow’s Feet
The lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when you smile or squint. Botox softens them, and PRF improves the thin skin around them.
Under-Eye Wrinkles
Fine, crinkled lines in the thinnest skin on the face. They respond to treatments that build collagen and restore hollows, such as Bio-LIFT.
Smile Lines and Nasolabial Folds
The folds from the nose to the corners of the mouth, also called laugh lines. They deepen as the cheeks lose volume, so they are treated with dermal fillers or Bio-LIFT.
Marionette Lines
The lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. Dermal fillers restore the lost volume, and lifting PDO threads raise the skin that has dropped.
Lip Lines and Smoker’s Lines
The fine vertical lines above and around the lips. Botox, fillers, Bio-LIFT and laser therapy each have a place, depending on their depth.
Bunny Lines
The small lines on the sides of the nose that show when you scrunch it. Botox relaxes them.
Neck Lines
Vertical neck bands are made by muscle and treated with Botox. Horizontal necklace lines are creases in the skin, treated with smooth PDO threads.
How Are Fine Lines and Wrinkles Treated at Deluxe Esthetics?
The right treatment depends on the cause of the line and how deep it is. These are the options.
Botox
Relaxes the muscles behind forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. About Botox
Dermal Fillers
Restore lost volume and smooth the lines you see at rest, such as smile lines and lip lines. About dermal fillers
Microneedling with PRF
Builds new collagen to smooth fine lines and improve texture, using PRF from your own blood. About microneedling with PRF
Laser Therapy
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles as the skin forms new collagen. About laser therapy
Bio-LIFT
The Care Esthetics PRF treatment for lines, under-eye hollows and looseness together. About Bio-LIFT
Smooth PDO Threads
Stimulate collagen under deep wrinkles that stay when the face is at rest. About smooth PDO threads
Early fine lines often need only Botox or one collagen treatment. Moderate wrinkles usually call for two treatments together. Deep wrinkles that are etched into the skin need volume and resurfacing, and Dr. Godko will tell you plainly when a line can be softened but not erased.
Can Fine Lines and Wrinkles Be Prevented?
You cannot stop aging, but you can slow what speeds it up.
- Use sunscreen every day
- Do not smoke
- Eat well and stay hydrated
- Keep a regular skincare routine
- Treat lines early, before they deepen
Addressing fine lines and wrinkles early matters. Gentle skincare and timely treatment can prevent the need for more extensive procedures later.
Which Fine Lines and Wrinkles Treatment Is Right for Me?
That is what the consultation is for. Dr. Godko looks at where your lines are, whether they show when your face moves or when it is at rest, and how deep they are. Then he recommends the treatment, or the combination, that fits. Most faces have more than one kind of line, so most plans use more than one treatment.
Two honest limits. A cream cannot erase a wrinkle that has already set. And no wrinkle treatment lifts skin that has dropped a great deal: that is a different problem, covered on our sagging skin page.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles Questions and Answers
Fine lines and wrinkles are among the top concerns we treat. These are the questions patients ask most.
What causes fine lines and wrinkles?
Fine lines and wrinkles are primarily caused by aging, sun exposure and lifestyle factors such as smoking, sleep patterns and poor diet.
Are fine lines and wrinkles the same?
No. Fine lines are closer to the surface. As you age, fine lines may develop into deeper-set wrinkles as the skin loses elasticity and firmness.
Can you fix wrinkles without Botox?
Yes. Botox treats the lines that movement makes. Lines that stay at rest are treated in other ways: dermal fillers, microneedling with PRF, Bio-LIFT, laser therapy and smooth PDO threads. Several of these use nothing but your own blood or laser light.
What is the most effective treatment for wrinkles?
It depends on the line. Lines made by movement, such as frown lines and crow’s feet, are treated with Botox. Lines that stay at rest are treated with dermal fillers or by rebuilding collagen with microneedling with PRF, laser therapy or smooth PDO threads.
What procedure is best for deep wrinkles?
Deep wrinkles that show when your face is at rest have set into the skin, and relaxing the muscle is not enough for them. They are treated by restoring volume with dermal fillers and by rebuilding collagen with laser therapy, microneedling with PRF or smooth PDO threads, often in combination.
How do you get rid of forehead wrinkles and crow's feet?
Forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet are lines that movement makes, so they are most often treated with Botox, which relaxes the muscles behind them.
How can I prevent fine lines and wrinkles?
Use sunscreen daily, maintain a healthy diet, avoid smoking and follow a regular skincare routine.
How much does it cost to have wrinkles removed?
The cost depends on the treatment and the areas treated. You receive a personalized quote at your $49 in-person consultation, and the $49 is applied to your treatment.
How long do wrinkle injections last?
It depends on the treatment. Botox results typically last three to four months, and dermal fillers typically last 6 to 24 months. Dr. Godko explains what to expect for your plan.
