GOODBYE, WRINKLES
Not forever, because we’d be lying, but let's diminish their appearance.
Over time, fine lines and wrinkles emerge on your skin, especially in areas exposed to sunlight like your face, neck, chest, and hands. It is part of the aging process, and it's perfectly natural. While it's impossible to eliminate them, we can reduce their visibility. Below are some of the most effective and sought-after treatments for achieving a smoother, more wrinkle-free appearance.
MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling has recently gained significant attention on social media recently, and rightfully so, but has been a popular treatment for years for treating fine lines and wrinkles. It is a noninvasive treatment that penetrates the dermis, triggering the release of growth factors such as collagen in the skin. The micro-injuries stimulate your body's natural healing process, resulting in visibly softer and smoother skin, effectively softening fine lines and wrinkles. For best results, we recommend getting at least three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. Adding Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to microneedling enhances its effectiveness by utilizing concentrated healing plasma and growth factors. PRP accelerates healing, stimulates skin renewal, and boosts collagen and elastin production, making it a valuable addition to the treatment.

DEEP PEELS
A more intensive yet non-invasive option for fine lines are deep chemical peels. Chemical peels balance skin tone, reduce discoloration, prevent future breakouts, brighten and clear the skin. They are particularly effective in treating acne scars, wrinkles, and sun damage. Consequently, they offer significant improvement for premature lines. The downtime for deep chemical peels is about 7 days- but the results are worth the wait. Learn more about deep peels and its benefits here.
BOTOX AND DYSPORT
Botox and Dysport is our favorite option for reducing fine lines. It works by blocking signals from nerves to muscles, temporarily freezing impulses and allowing facial muscles to relax. The result? Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving a smoother, more refreshed look. During Botox at ALEXIS LAUREN in Miami, we specialize in targeting the appropriate muscles to alleviate creasing in the skin, slowing wrinkle progression and supporting skin structure without altering your natural appearance.

LED LIGHT THERAPY
Included in our custom facials from The Collective, LED Light Therapy not only minimizes fine lines and wrinkles but also calms inflammation, strengthens skin elasticity, promotes healthy collagen, increases blood circulation, and even neutralizes pollutants. This quick and easy treatment offers numerous benefits for the skin and is a must-try for glowing skin. LED Light therapy is a modality that can be included during your custom facial from The Collective at ALEXIS LAUREN in Miami. Learn more about The Collective modalities here
DERMAPLANING
Contrary to common belief, dermaplaning does not cause hair to grow back darker. However, it does soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermaplaning, another modality included in our custom facials from The Collective, is ideal for dry, dehydrated skin. It also helps lighten hyperpigmentation, enhances the penetration of serums into the skin, promotes cell turnover, and achieves the sought-after "glass skin" effect, perfect for smooth makeup application.

MOISTURIZER
Dry, flaky skin can exaggerate the appearance of wrinkles, even when they're not present. It's crucial to keep our skin hydrated for a smooth complexion. That's why we've curated top recommendations from The Collective Cabinet for healthy, hydrated skin year-round. The Reparative Moisture Emulsion from iS Clinical is a standout choice for all skin types, including acne-prone and oily skin. It smooths and hydrates the skin for a healthy glow and dewy finish. Crème Masque Vernix by Biologique Recherche offers healing properties and is perfect for dehydrated, dry, sensitive, and reactive skin, as well as wrinkles and fine lines. Crème Pigm 400 by Biologique Recherche is a brightening and dark spot-correcting cream that delivers a pearlescent glow. Lastly, the Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment by Skin Better Science provides intense hydration without weighing down the skin. Its patented formulation restores balance to dry, aged skin. These moisturizers are available online at alexislauren.com or in-studio.
SUNSCREEN
Sun rays are responsible for most skin changes as you age. Therefore, wearing sunscreen daily and minimizing sun exposure are essential for keeping the skin looking its best. We recommend sunscreens with high SPF, such as Sunbetter Tone Smart 75 SPF from Skin Better Science. This product offers high sun protection in a tone-adapting, creamy lotion that provides a hint of color. It's oil-free and can be used as a primer under makeup or as a light coverage foundation replacement.
LIFESTYLE
Ultimately, reducing the appearance of wrinkles can also depend on genetics and lifestyle. It's important to adopt lifestyle changes that will make you glow from within. We recommend staying hydrated, avoiding excessive sun exposure, and consuming plenty of leafy greens and vegetables.
