Laughter lines represent a happy life full of joyful facial expressions. But as you age, these lines deepen, making you look older than you really are.

No one can completely escape the effects of ageing, but there are things you can do to prevent premature signs of ageing and even smooth out those annoying lines and wrinkles that you already have.

Laughter lines around the eyes are first apparent only when you smile and over time the lines will gradually indent to become wrinkles.  But sun damage and the passage of time take their toll, eventually making these lines visible when your face is at rest. One of the best nonsurgical treatments for these fine lines involves the use of neuromodulators, or botulinum toxins that can reduce the appearance of laugh lines and rejuvenate the face.

If you’re ready to erase those laugh lines and other facial creases, you have several options. Of course, you will need a consultation with us at The Good Skin Company in order to tailor the treatment to your desired outcome as more than one procedure may be required to achieve the final result.

Your practitioner, Kathryn Carson, will assess the depth of the lines and the overall health of your skin before deciding which treatments will give you the best results.  However, the most popular and effective procedure to effectively treat laughter lines and crease is using dermal fillers such as hyaluronic acid – a natural substance that is found in our skin.

These dermal fillers are applied via injection along the crease extending from the nose to the sides of the mouth. They’re meant to fill in the creases. The effects can last anywhere from six months to a full year.

It’s also important to note that the use of these fillers has evolved. They replace the appearance of volume loss that occurs with ageing.

One advantage of these fillers is that you can see a difference immediately. And they’re reversible. If you don’t like how you look after the procedure, the practitioner can inject hyaluronidase to counteract the effects.
