Facial wrinkle and fine line treatments | Dr Cozanet Paris

Time goes by and we can see it on our faces. Wrinkles and fine lines appear gradually on the skin. The skin renewal process slows down as you age, the skin thins out, becomes dehydrated and inevitably loses its collagen, elasticity and hyaluronic acid.

It’s best to make an appointment with Doctor Cozanet as soon as wrinkles or fine lines appear, so that he can advise you on the best possible treatments and the best time to act.

First come the fine lines, grooves of 0.2 to 1 mm, then wrinkles with a depth of 1mm or more appear. Even if fine lines are less pronounced than wrinkles, there are often more of them.

Skin aging is a case-by-case phenomenon, it can come at different ages and can even start as of the 20s for some. Skin aging is also programmed according to your genetic profile. No one is immune to skin aging!

What causes fine lines and wrinkles? 

Besides a strong genetic dynamic, other factors are known to contribute and accelerate this natural process:

• sun

• stress

• alcohol and tobacco consumption

• major weight loss

• pollution

• sedentary lifestyle

• poor eating habits

• lack of sleep or disrupted sleep

• insufficient hydration

• frequent facial tension

Expression lines (or mimic lines) are caused by repetitive facial muscle contractions. Aging wrinkles (or static wrinkles) are due to overall skin sagging and the structural changes to skin layers. According to the nature of the wrinkles, Doctor Benjamin Cozanet will recommend a suitable treatment protocol during your 1st detailed skin analysis appointment.

Hyaluronic acid is used in aesthetic medicine to refresh and revitalize appearance and is an injectable filler gel. It is identical to the one our organism naturally produces (skin, eyes, articulations).

It is designed to delicately restore the dermal volume, smooth grooves and wrinkles and gently enhance our features, or to replump the lips. Unlike the old methods, which used collagen and fat injections, hyaluronic acid is a substance which is naturally present in the human body to shape and re-densify the skin. 

Certain hyaluronic acids are generated in laboratories through biosynthesis, no allergy tests are necessary prior to this treatment. Dr Benjamin Cozanet can immediately proceed to the injections the very day of your appointment, according to your facial profile, and if you desire.
The latest hyaluronic acids are used to fill the different targeted areas of volume loss on the face. The effects last anywhere from 12-18 months. The facial zones which benefit most from the filler agents: cheekbones, lips, the nasolabial fold, marionette wrinkles (or bitterness folds). For a personalized rejuvenation road map, Doctor Benjamin Cozanet can also recommend the usage of combo therapies: peelings or lasers.

Assessment of laser resurfacing effects on skin rejuvenation

(wrinkles and fine lines)

Laser treatments are designed to safely and effectively treat the signs of aging and damaged skin.

The smoothing laser reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Normally, 2-4 sessions are required with little social downtime.

Due to the delivery of pulses of light, we can treat both the epidermis and the deeper skin layers, which provide long-term beneficial results.

After the laser session, skin will appear and feel sunburned. Dr Cozanet will detail the post-treatment care and what you must avoid.

Afterwards, the skin heals and forms a thin protective barrier which peels off in 4-5 days.

Until this protective barrier peels off, we recommend social downtime, because in certain cases, redness or rosiness appears on the face during this 4–5-day period.

This in no way prevents you from going about your everyday activities.

The results are visible in 3-5 days, once the protective barrier peels off.

Your new skin will appear healthier, and you can resume your usual makeup routine.

DIFFERENT TREATMENT SOLUTIONS DO EXIST

DR BENJAMIN COZANET WILL PROVIDE THE BEST POSSIBLE TREATMENT ROAD MAP TO GET RID OF YOUR FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

A combination of several treatments can be recommended after your personalized diagnosis. Dr Benjamin Cozanet performs a skin analysis and will then be able to choose the best solutions to meet your needs, with absolute peace of mind.

When we’re treating or preventing wrinkles and fine lines on the entire face, mesolift sessions composed of hyaluronic acid, vitamins, oligo elements and minerals can equally be proposed, along with Skinboosters sessions.

Occasionally, a youthful face can show signs of premature aging on hand and decolletage skin, these are areas which are equally treated by hyaluronic acid and photorejuvenation lasers.

A popular hyaluronic acid alternative, photorejuvenation lasers provide a full treatment of fine lines by stimulating collagen synthesis, improving skin texture and the skin pigmentation component in skin aging, restoring radiance and glow.

After a detailed skin analysis by Dr Benjamin Cozanet and a thorough aesthetic discussion with the patient, the goals will be identified, and the necessary treatment road map will be defined to achieve the final results.
