Not all wrinkles are the same. While some are the result of repeated motions like smiling or laughing, others are caused by changes to collagen production and lost skin elastin. Knowing the difference between facial wrinkles and their causes can help you get the right care at the right time, helping put the aging process on pause.

What makes Different Wrinkle Types Different?

Different causes call for different solutions. While certain creases can be treated effectively be one cosmetic treatment, that isn’t to say that another type of facial wrinkle treated with the same dermal filler or injectable would be reduced as effectively. As a result, identifying the type of facial wrinkle you’ve developed as well as how to pick up on the early signs of aging can drastically change the effectiveness of any future treatments.

Static, Dynamic, and Wrinkle Folds

Based on the different possible causes, wrinkles have been traditionally categorized as static or dynamic.

Static Wrinkles: Environmental Impacts on the Skin

Do your wrinkles appear even when completely relaxed? Chances are you have static wrinkles. Static wrinkles can be thought of as the result of environmental effects, such as sun damage, poor diet, and smoking as well as genes. These factors impact the skin’s collagen production, causing areas to become deficient and lose their elasticity. Combined with the natural slowing of collagen production as patients age, increased exposure to damaging UV rays or smoking can ultimately cause patients to lose skin elasticity and experience sagging skin.

When it comes to treating static wrinkles, a dermal filler is your best bet for restoring supple, natural-looking volume to your face without surgery. Options like Juvederm Voluma and Restylane are each designed to help restore missing volume and treat sagging skin in different parts of the face. These non-surgical cosmetic solutions are developed using hyaluronic acid, a naturally-occurring compound that helps skin retain much-needed moisture as well as temporarily stimulate collagen production.

Dynamic Changes Call for Dynamic Solutions

In contrast, dynamic wrinkles develop in response to repeated muscle contractions. Crow’s feet, smile lines, forehead wrinkles and lines between the eyebrows are common types of wrinkles that fall within this category. One distinct difference between dynamic and static wrinkles is that dynamic wrinkles only appear following muscle contracture. For example, if you smile and small lines appear next to your eyes and remain in place for several moments after your smile, chances you have dynamic wrinkles.

If left untreated, dynamic wrinkles can become permanent facial features by deepening into deeper static wrinkles. As a result, treating the underlying muscle early is an important step in putting the aging process on hold. At Aesthetic Art of Palm Springs, Dr. Kato has found that patients showing signs of dynamic wrinkles enjoy the best results with Botox treatment. When strategically injected, Botox temporarily paralyzes the muscle, preventing it from future contractions and ultimately keeping existing wrinkles from further creasing. Preventive injections are especially helpful in helping soften the development of new lines without restricting facial movements.

Familiar with anti-aging products or skincare treatments as a whole? Chances are you’ve come across collagen as wither a product or the tagline of a product. However, what exactly is collagen and what role does it play in determining your facial appearance?

Collagen is a naturally-produced protein found in the skin and connective tissue. Hair, bones, muscles, ligaments, and skin rely on collagen and the amino acids that make up collagen for their health and structural support. In terms of skin, collagen keeps skin supple and taut by providing important elasticity and density.

As we age, collagen production gradually slows. The skin begins to lose volume across the face, including the lips and cheeks. In combination with the skin’s exposure to the environment and genes, slowing collagen development can quickly lead to the development of fine lines and eventually wrinkles across the face. Furthermore, lost collagen or limited collagen production can negatively impact the tautness of skin. It doesn’t take long for the aging process to begin diminishing the skin’s elasticity, causing facial sagging and increasing the fragility of skin.

Kickstarting Collagen Production with Sculptra

With these consequences in mind, replacing lost collagen is an important step in halting the effects of aging on your appearance. Over recent years, a number of dermal filler products have hit the market. Many of these options are highly effective in restoring volume to areas where collagen production has visibly slowed. However, these solutions tend to be temporary and require multiple touch-ups in order for patients to stay on top of the aging process.

For individuals looking for a more permanent answer to aging, Dr. Kato may recommend Sculptra, a non-surgical cosmetic solution designed to kick slowing collagen generation back into high gear. The secret behind this treatment option is poly-l-lactic acid, a biocompatible compound commonly used in medical devices to stimulate healing around pins, screw, and implants. When used as a cosmetic enhancement, this key ingredient helps stimulate the receptors responsible for generating more collagen. This helps rebuild the underlying collagen structure, allowing additional protein to develop in the targeted area. Thanks to the precise application of the compound, cosmetic specialists like Dr. Kato can uniquely address deficient areas without over-treating the face.

Precise, pinpoint application makes Sculptra ideal for a broad range of patients. Whether you’re just noticing the development of fine lines or have lived with skin laxity problems for years, the targeted injection makes it possible for all patients to restore their former youthfulness. Perhaps most importantly, the treatment continues to work long after the injections are over. By re-engaging key collagen production, patients enjoy up their results for up to two years.

Ready, Set, Transform at Aesthetic Arts

With Sculptra treatment, keeping your skin voluminous is simple. To learn more about this innovation in anti-aging technology, contact Dr. Kato and schedule your cosmetic consultation today!

Short for polydioxanone, PDO has grown in popularity with the rise of Nova Threads non-surgical facelifts. Whereas traditional facelifts have required surgery to successfully tighten sagging skin, this new option allows patients to avoid the preparation, downtime, and recovery associated with surgery.

The use of PDO threads contributes substantially to the success of this treatment. Just like surgical sutures, PDO threads can be safely inserted into the skin and are absorbed by the body during the healing process. Rather than being used to seal surgical incisions, this medical suture is used as a means of creating tiny injuries in the skin in areas that have seen the effects of aging. As the injuries heal, the body produces collagen to help heal the treatment site, by which the area looks fuller and smoother.

Part of the advantages of Nova Thread or PDO thread therapy is the versatility of the treatment. Depending on a patient’s problem areas, different threads can be used to achieve distinct goals. In particular, barbed threads and smooth threads offer unique advantages to different patients.

Barbed Threads: Convenience of a Facelift without Surgery

While the idea of barbed anything near your face can sound less than appealing, barbed PDO threads pull their weight (quite literally). The unique nature of these sutures allows the thread to latch into tissues during implantation. This results in a smoother physical lift, allowing the thread to efficiently pull loose, sagging skin that can accumulate in the lower parts of the face such as the jawline and eyebrows. As a result, many patients who choose this type of PDO thread enjoy results like that of a facelift without the complications of undergoing surgery.

Another key advantage of barbed PDO threads? The prongs on the threads help in stimulating natural collagen production and tighten skin, providing a natural looking facial enhancement. As the threads are made of polydioxanone, they eventually dissolve and leave results that last up to two years.

Smoother, Plumper Lips with Smooth Threads

Not all PDO threads are alike. While some patients may need the significant support offered by barbed threads, other individuals are simply looking for a lasting way to improve their skin below the surface. Stimulating natural collagen regeneration is a particularly effective means of bringing back youthful, smooth facial appearance without running the risk of looking over-treated. While kickstarting this important process can be done with dermal fillers, these solutions require retreatment throughout the year. For these individuals, smooth PDO threads offer a long-term answer.

Much like their barbed counterparts, smooth PDO threads are renowned for their ability to stimulate elastic collagen synthesis. In the months following insertion, the body starts to repair and heal the tissue surrounding the absorbable threads. This process is what triggers the production of new collage and elastin in the treatment areas. As smooth PDO threads do not have barbs to pull back skin, they are ideal for stimulating the production process in areas that have deflated or creased over time such as the lips or cheeks.

As we get older, it is normal to experience the undesired signs of aging, including wrinkles and lines. Whether the actual culprit is age or genetics, you may get to a point where you want to pursue cosmetic treatment.

At Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, CA, we are here to help you reach your cosmetic goals and provide you with a list of your best options for your needs. Too often, patients assume their only option is surgical intervention. However, surgery isn’t the only option available.

You are most likely familiar with facelift procedures. A facelift can counteract the negative signs of aging, but if you are looking for alternative long-term rejuvenation options that do not include a facelift, you’ve come to the right place!

Choosing the Best Rejuvenation Treatment for You

Botox/Dysport

While Botox and Dysport aren’t the exact same product, each is a brand of a botulinum toxin type A injectable that treats forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and more.

Each of these injectables are popular at our facility because they are both minimally invasive. You can receive quick, effective results without surgery. Injections are generally administered every four to six months, take about fifteen minutes to perform, and require no recovery or downtime.

Depending on the patient’s specific needs and post-treatment goals, Dr. Kato can help determine whether Botox or Dysport is the best option.

Fillers

Our facility offers a variety of fillers to choose from, such as Juvederm, Voluma, Volbella, Restylane, and Refyne/Defyne.

Dermal fillers are a popular choice at our office, and when injected by a skilled and trained professional, can effectively fill in wrinkles and facial lines. The purpose of fillers is to add volume to the skin, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Fillers a composed of a smooth gel with powerful active ingredients that can be injected quickly and safely. There is no downtime or recovery period associated with fillers, so it is perfect for patients that are on the go.

Though the fillers we offer ultimately have the same agenda, depending on skin type, tone, and post-treatment goals, a patient may choose one dermal filler over the other. After a quick and pain-free consultation, we can determine which filler would be best for you.

Sculptra

Sculptra is an injectable that can effectively soften the appearance of wrinkles, as well as restore volume to the face and replenish collagen to the skin. Due to Sculptra’s main ingredient—Poly-L-Lactic Acid—results can last up to two years.

Patients pursuing Sculptra will often need to receive multiple injections, generally two to four treatments six weeks apart. The solution will be injected deep into the dermis, allowing it to reach the deepest levels of the skin. Often considered a “pain-free” injection, topical cream and anesthetic can be used upon a patient’s request.

Unlike a traditional facelift, there is no downtime or recovery period needed after a Sculptra treatment. Temporary side effects may include swelling, redness, tenderness, and/or bruising—which are all normal and will subside within a few days.

Kybella

You don’t have to pursue a full facelift procedure to get rid of your double chin; Kybella can give you the sleeker neckline you’ve always wanted. This simple, prescribed medication can permanently eliminate your double chin following a few minor injections.

FDA-approved, Kybella’s main ingredient is deoxycholic acid. This specific acid is a fat-burning substance that occurs naturally in the body. When deoxycholic acid is injected underneath the chin, it effectively eliminates the fat cells that cause submental fullness. After the fat cells are destroyed, they are naturally flushed from the body and never return.

PRP Facial

PRP (platelet rich plasma) facials are becoming more and more popular among patients, particularly those who want powerful, rejuvenating results. To achieve these results, we use components of the patient’s own blood, resulting in an easy, quick, pain-free experience.

The process begins by gently creating small tears on the desired treatment area through microneedling and spreading the PRP serum over these tears. PRP instantly creates volume, successfully lifting features and filling in wrinkles. This serum stimulates cell growth, encouraging the migration of fresh cells to the surface of the skin.

Following treatment, patients are permitted to immediately return to their daily schedules. Mild side effects may include redness, soreness, and/or swelling, but there is no need for pain medication. Multiple treatments may be necessary for maximum results. Depending on the patient and number of treatments received, results could last anywhere from nine months to two years.

Nova Threads

Another popular non-surgical alternative to a Facelift is the thread lift. Nova Threads are absorbable sutures that lift sagging skin to create a rejuvenated appearance without surgery. Best of all, a thread lift is an in-office procedure that takes only thirty minutes and does not require anesthesia. These sutures are made with polydioxanone and can be safely absorbed by the body after placement.

There are two types of sutures used for this procedure and both accomplish different but effective results. Barbed sutures are used to pull the skin and mimic a lower facelift. Smooth sutures, on the other hand, are used to promote collagen production without any tightening effects.

If you elect barbed sutures, Dr. Kato will place the threads with very fine needles underneath the skin. Then, they are pulled taut to create a lifting effect that results in a tighter jawline, the elimination of lines and jowls, and lifted cheeks.

It’s common to want to fight the negative signs of aging. You don’t have to get a facelift or other invasive procedure to accomplish this goal. Invasive procedures are often painful, expensive, and require recovery time. Instead, take advantage of the non-surgical treatments aesthetic medicine has to offer.

If you’re tired of costly eyelash extensions, fear your falsies falling out, or are feeling weighed down by heavy layers of mascara, you’ll be happy to learn that we offer Latisse.

Latisse can you help you grow thicker, darker, and longer lashes naturally for a flirty, fluttery look so that you never have to schedule another lash extension appointment again.

Reasons to Avoid Eyelash Extensions

There’s a good chance that you’re familiar with eyelash extensions, as well as false eyelashes. While extensions and false eyelashes technically achieve the same goal, they do so very differently. False eyelashes, or “falsies,” are designed for temporary use, often just one day. Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent and can last for up to 12 weeks.

Eyelash extensions are fake, individual eyelashes that are glued on one by one to natural eyelashes by an aesthetician. As the real lashes grow, so will the extensions, until both eventually fall off.

While extensions may seem like a good idea, they may not be your best choice. This option requires having the eyelashes filled every two to four weeks, resulting in expensive and time-consuming sessions. You also must avoid using any sort of oil-based cleanser or product that could possibly touch your lashes, creating further inconveniences and expenses.

Other setbacks to choosing eyelash extensions include the “fall out process.” Extensions will fall out along with your natural eyelashes. You will be losing lashes in between fillings, and there’s really nothing you can do except wait.

Following your fill, you will have to wait 12-24 hours before showering, and you will need to take extra precaution while doing so. Any water that directly touches the adhesive used to place the lashes can weaken, causing the lashes to fall out prematurely. Then, it will be necessary to blow dry your lashes.

If you have sensitive eyes or allergies, then eyelash extensions could pose a problem. It has been known for those with allergies to experience burning or discomfort while having eyelash extensions put on—this isn’t normal. If you do feel any discomfort, then eyelash extensions are most likely not for you.

Thankfully, there is a superior alternative available: Latisse.

About Latisse

Latisse achieves a more natural look than extensions because its results are natural. The lashes you will be showing off with Latisse will be 100% yours.

Further, Latisse is safe and FDA-approved.  Bimatoprost, the active ingredient in Latisse, is often found in eye drops as a glaucoma medication, so it is very safe to use near your eyes.

Applying Latisse is relatively easy; the small bottle of solution comes with a supply of sterile, one-time use applicators. Patients need to brush the liquid onto the upper eyelash line. This same liquid will naturally transfer to the lower eyelids as you blink but should not be applied there directly.

Overall, it’s much easier than having to schedule extension fills every two weeks, placing and removing falsies, or poking your eye with a mascara wand (we’ve all been there).

Latisse has been proven to work for almost all patients. After the conclusion of a 16-week study, participants saw a 25 percent increase in length, a 106 percent increase in fullness, and an 18 percent increase in darkness. While Latisse does have a cosmetic appeal, it still must be prescribed to patients by a doctor.

As with most medications, side effects have been experienced, such as red and/or itchy eyes. However, the pros outweigh the small cons of this treatment. Latisse is safe, affordable, easy-to-apply, convenient, and effective. The results are also lasting; as long as you keep applying Latisse regularly, you will continue to experience, longer, fuller, darker eyelashes.

At Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, we can fully walk you through the treatment process, informing you of what to expect and how to properly care for your eyelashes. We want this to be an easy, pain-free experience that you enjoy. If you have questions or concerns regarding this product and your candidacy, we are here to help.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting longer, fuller eyelashes. From safety to convenience, to effectiveness and price, we suggest ditching eyelash extensions and growing your natural lashes out with Latisse.

Life can often be stressful. Whether that stress stems from the office, your relationship, or other daily struggles and worries, the stress is still present—and it’s unhealthy. To add insult to injury, when you’re stressed, it shows, and usually on your face. Stress can take the form of unwanted lines, wrinkles, or creases.

However, at Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, we offer a convenient and affordable treatment that can successfully smooth and revive your appearance.

Do you need or want to freshen up the skin on your face? Learn more about PRP today!

PRP treatments (platelet-rich plasma) first emerged as innovative treatments for sports injuries. Today, however, the very same treatments can rejuvenate your appearance. Known as a PRP facial, this procedure has become popular among celebrities, as well as patients who want a fresher, smoother look. Specifically, PRP facials address the root of the aging process by using the patient’s own blood in an easy, fast, and relatively pain-free manner.

To start, the platelet-rich plasma is spread over the entire face as a serum. This serum contains a myriad of components that are conducive for healing, including fibroblasts. Then, we use a collagen induction therapy method to create tiny holes into which the serum will be absorbed. Once the absorption takes place, volume is instantly created, filling both sunken features of the face and deep wrinkles. Further, the serum is rich with natural growth factors, fades age spots, and builds collagen into the dermis.

As a result, the PRP facial treatment improves skin texture, tone, and overall quality. This creates a youthful, refreshed appearance.

Most individuals are overly pleased to learn about the variety of benefits offered by the PRP facial. For example, since the serum used in the treatment comes from each patient, there is no risk for infection, allergic reaction, or rejection. Simply put, this is a completely safe, reliable, and all-natural process to smooth and revive your appearance.

One of the most popular factors of the treatment, is that downtime is not extensive. After the procedure, slight redness and puffiness should be expected for a two-day period. Working patients can have this procedure on a Friday, take the weekend to recover, and be back in the office by Monday.

The actual treatment itself takes roughly a half an hour to complete, during which, most patients report no feelings of discomfort. For most patients to reach optimal results, we recommend a series of three treatments at one-month intervals.

As previously stated, patients with all skin types are welcome to schedule a consultation for the PRP facial. The ideal patient is someone who wants a fresher look, but without the expense, downtime, and inconvenience of facelift or other types of surgery. However, individuals who are currently taking blood thinning medication or are prone to blood clots should not consider this procedure.

As with any type of cosmetic treatment or procedure, there is always the possibility of negative side effects. PRP facial patients may experience redness, soreness, and/or swelling. Yet, these side effects are only temporary, and if they do occur, they generally subside within just a few days. Following treatment, it will be necessary to avoid direct sunlight.

With age, our facial appearance tends to change. However, with PRP facial, we can revive our appearance and enjoy better skin.

Whether it’s age, stress, or just genetics, hair loss is an unfortunate occurrence for both men and women. But at Aesthetic Art in Palm Springs, CA, we offer a convenient and affordable hair restoration procedure that will help you regain your confidence, allowing you to look and feel your absolute best.

For some individuals, hair is an important quality, perhaps even what makes them feel most confident. Hair is also often one of the first features noticed when meeting or greeting another person. And though it’s not right or fair, appearances generally play an intricate role in life, in one aspect or another.

With the development of hair restoration techniques, there is a myriad of treatment options to choose from today. One of the safest and most popular procedures performed by Dr. Kato is PRP hair restoration. This treatment uses platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is a serum created from the patient’s own blood. This serum promotes healing and regeneration. After it’s injected into the scalp, a healthy and nourished environment forms, ultimately stimulating the growth of formerly inactive hair follicles.

If you are suffering from one of the following conditions, PRP for hair growth could be for you:

While this procedure can be life-changing for many, certain individuals should not pursue PRP hair restoration, or at least converse with their doctor before scheduling an appointment. Particularly, those suffering from blood and platelet disorders, liver disease, or cardiovascular instability could have experience complications during or after treatment. However, all interested parties will receive a medical consultation with one of our physicians to better assess if this treatment is for them and their needs.

Not only is our hair restoration treatment completely safe and comfortable, but the process is relatively quick and simple, too. After injection of the serum, which is a minimally invasive process, the scalp and hair follicles are repaired and nourished. Hair loss slows down, and areas of the scalp that were previously bare due to inactive follicles are stimulated to encourage regrowth.

Potential patients are always happy to discover that hair restoration treatment does not require or include incisions or sutures. More so, because the serum used is made from each patient’s cells, infections and allergic reactions will not occur. While other restoration treatments are generally long, painful, and require lots of downtime to recovery, PRP at Aesthetic Art is simple, gentle, and takes fifteen minutes to perform.

Before the procedure begins, the patient’s scalp will be numbed, ensuring the individual is comfortable. Most of our patients do not mention pain or discomfort and spend the length of the procedure relaxing. The patient can go home immediately after their treatment.

When it comes to PRP hair restoration, many prospective patients are curious as to how many treatments they will need. The answer is simple: every individual is different. Factors such as the area being treated and the rate of hair loss will better determine the number of treatments required for successful results. It is common to receive four treatments, with one treatment being performed each month.

It is typical to see change within three to six months. It is imperative to remember that every individual is different. Therefore, depending on how your body reacts to treatment, the number of treatments you receive, and the degree of hair loss, it may take a little longer for your results to become noticeable.

Because it is our goal to assist as many individuals as possible, we do offer an alternative to PRP hair restoration. This alternative treatment uses Mesomedica sera for anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable using their blood for the process. Our MesoHairGro serum can also successfully nourish the scalp, as well as strengthen hair shafts. With the aid of essential vitamins, including Pro-Vitamin B5, biotin, thiamine, and Vitamin B6, the cause of poor hair growth is treated and corrected.

Let’s face the truth: Hair loss is not something you can control. It’s not necessarily fair that you have to experience it, but it happens. However, just because it does or has happened to you, doesn’t mean you have to sit back and live with it.
