Fine Lines & Wrinkles
As time passes, the delicate signs of aging appear on our faces in the form of fine lines and wrinkles, telling the story of years lived and expressions made. At Choosi Skin Face and Laser Spa in Cincinnati, OH, we understand that while these natural changes are part of life’s journey, many people seek ways to soften their appearance and maintain vibrant, healthy-looking skin. Our comprehensive approach addresses fine lines and wrinkles with advanced treatments tailored to your needs and skin concerns.

What Are Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
Fine lines and wrinkles are visible creases, folds or ridges that develop in the skin as part of the natural aging process. Fine lines are among the earliest signs of aging skin, appearing as shallow, barely noticeable marks that typically form around areas of frequent facial movement. These delicate lines often emerge first around the eyes and mouth, where the skin is thinnest and most prone to creasing from repeated expressions.
Wrinkles are a deeper progression of skin aging, manifesting as more pronounced grooves or furrows in the skin’s surface. Unlike fine lines, wrinkles are typically visible even when your face is at rest, creating permanent texture changes that can affect your overall appearance. These deeper creases develop when the skin loses its structural support system of collagen and elastin, combined with years of muscle movement and environmental exposure.
What Are the Types of Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
Dynamic Lines
- Crow’s feet radiating from the outer corners of the eyes
- Forehead lines running horizontally above the brow
- Frown lines (elevens) appearing between the eyebrows
- Smile lines extending from the nose to the mouth corners
- Bunny lines crossing the bridge of the nose
Static Wrinkles
- Nasolabial folds running from the nose to the mouth
- Marionette lines extending from the mouth corners downward
- Cheek wrinkles and volume loss
- Neck lines and bands
- Perioral lines around the lips
Atrophic Wrinkles
- Fine, parallel lines that disappear when the skin is stretched
- Commonly found on cheeks and forehead
- Result from decreased skin thickness and elasticity
What Causes Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
How Are Fine Lines and Wrinkles Treated?
At Choosi Skin Face and Laser Spa, we offer multiple advanced treatments to address fine lines and wrinkles at every stage. Our comprehensive approach combines cutting-edge technology with personalized treatment plans designed to deliver natural-looking results for all skin types.
Injectable Treatments
Botox® and Other Neuromodulators
These FDA-approved treatments temporarily relax specific facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles. By preventing repetitive muscle contractions, neuromodulators effectively soften existing lines while preventing new ones from forming.
Results appear within three to seven days and last three to four months.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers restore lost volume and fill in deeper wrinkles and folds. These versatile injectables can plump hollow areas, smooth nasolabial folds and enhance facial contours for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Results are seen immediately and last six to 18 months, depending on the filler product and treatment area.
Advanced Laser Treatments
Lutronic® Ultra System
This versatile platform uses Selective Waveband Technology to target fine lines while improving overall skin texture and tone. The precise light energy stimulates collagen production without damaging the rest of the tissue.
Initial improvements are typically seen within one week, and optimal results develop over three to six months.
Candela® GentleMax Pro
Our dual-wavelength laser system addresses fine lines while treating pigmentation and redness that can make wrinkles appear more prominent.
Visible improvements can be seen after two to three sessions, with continued enhancement over several months.
RF Microneedling
Candela® Matrix™ RF Microneedling
This revolutionary treatment combines radiofrequency energy with controlled micro-injuries to stimulate deep collagen remodeling. The Matrix system includes three modalities (Sublative RF, Sublime and Matrix Pro) for customized treatment approaches.
Initial skin tightening can be seen within days, with progressive improvement developing over three to six months.
Combination Approaches
For optimal results, we often recommend combining treatments to simultaneously address multiple aspects of skin aging. A popular combination pairs Botox with dermal fillers to address dynamic wrinkles and skin volume loss in a single session. Another effective approach combines laser resurfacing with RF microneedling, which targets surface texture while promoting deep tissue remodeling. This multi-modal approach allows us to create comprehensive treatment plans that deliver more dramatic and lasting improvements than any single treatment alone.
Considerations for Different Skin Types
Lighter Skin Tones (Fitzpatrick Types I-III)
Patients with fair to light skin typically have more visible fine lines due to thinner skin and less melanin protection from UV damage. These skin types generally respond well to all treatment modalities, including more aggressive laser settings. However, they may be more prone to temporary redness and require diligent sun protection post-treatment.
Darker Skin Tones (Fitzpatrick Types IV-VI)
Melanin-rich skin offers natural protection against photoaging, which means wrinkles often develop later in life. However, darker skin requires special consideration to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Our Lutronic Ultra System and RF microneedling treatments are remarkably safe and effective for darker skin tones, as they bypass the epidermis where melanin concentration is highest.
Sensitive Skin
Those with reactive or rosacea-prone skin benefit from gentler approaches with gradual treatment progression. We may recommend starting with lighter treatment settings and incorporating soothing protocols to minimize irritation while still achieving wrinkle reduction.
Mature Skin
Older skin with significant volume loss and deep wrinkles often requires a multi-modal approach. Combining volumizing fillers with collagen-stimulating treatments addresses structural changes and surface concerns for comprehensive rejuvenation.
