Know Your Lines

Not every line
has the same cause.

Lines from muscle movement, collagen loss and volume loss are treated differently — so your plan starts with what is causing yours.

Expression Lines
Forehead lines, frown lines (the 11s) and crow's feet form where muscles move again and again. Relaxing the muscle softens the line.
Fine Lines & Crepey Texture
Collagen production slows by roughly 1% a year after age 20. As skin thins, fine lines set in — rebuilding collagen softens them.
Volume Loss & Deep Folds
Lost volume deepens folds like the nasolabial lines. Restoring volume smooths them in a way resurfacing alone cannot.
Laxity
Collagen and elastin lose resilience and the lower face loses definition. Energy-based tightening stimulates new collagen over months.
Melanin-Safe Protocols

Why deeper skin tones
need a different approach.

Melanin-rich skin often shows surface aging later thanks to natural photoprotection — but collagen loss and laxity affect every skin tone. Heat-based resurfacing and tightening set for lighter skin can cause darkening or light patches on Fitzpatrick IV–VI.

  • ✦Longer wavelengths that reduce absorption by surface melanin
  • ✦Active cooling to protect the skin's surface during treatment
  • ✦Conservative energy, increased step by step based on your response
  • ✦Skin prep before and after treatment to keep inflammation low
How We Treat It

Your treatment options.
Your personalized plan.

Every plan is customized at your consultation — often a combination of in-clinic treatments and home care, matched to your skin type and goals.

Botox & Dysport
Relax the muscles behind forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet. Placement follows your muscle anatomy, not a template. Takes effect in 3–5 days and typically lasts 3–4 months.
Injectables →
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Restore lost volume and smooth deeper folds, placed according to your facial anatomy — not trends. Results last 6–18 months depending on product and area.
PRP Facial Rejuvenation
Platelet-rich plasma from your own blood is injected into areas of laxity, fine lines and volume loss to stimulate collagen and cellular renewal.
Microneedling
Controlled micro-channels trigger new collagen and elastin, softening fine lines and improving firmness over a series of sessions.
Laser Resurfacing
Fractional laser stimulates collagen and resurfaces texture — effective for wrinkles — with settings calibrated to your skin tone.
At-Home Support
Retinoids are the cornerstone of anti-aging care. Precise M.D. Retinol + Green Tea Treatment Pads, Advanced Nourish & Repair HA and the No Tox Botox peptide serum support results at home — always with daily SPF.

What To Expect

From consultation
to lasting results.

01
Consultation
We look at what is driving your lines — movement, collagen loss or volume loss — and confirm your Fitzpatrick type.
02
Your Plan
Often a combination: injectables for expression lines, collagen-building treatments for fine lines and texture, and a home routine to protect results.
03
Treatment Series
Collagen-building treatments are done as a series — commonly 3–6 sessions for energy-based treatments — with firmer skin usually showing within 4–6 weeks.
04
Maintain
Botox typically lasts 3–4 months and fillers 6–18 months. Collagen keeps improving for up to six months, and a maintenance schedule keeps results going.
Common Questions

Fine Lines & Wrinkles FAQ.

What's the difference between Botox and filler?

Botox and Dysport relax the muscles that cause expression lines like forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet. Hyaluronic acid fillers restore lost volume and smooth deeper folds. Many plans use both, often in the same appointment.

How long do results last?

Botox and Dysport typically last 3–4 months. Filler lasts 6–18 months depending on the product and area. Collagen-building treatments improve gradually, with changes continuing for up to six months.

Are resurfacing and skin tightening safe for darker skin?

Yes, with the right settings. Heat-based treatments set for lighter skin can cause darkening on Fitzpatrick IV–VI. PSRx uses longer wavelengths, active cooling and conservative energy that is increased based on how your skin responds.

Do retinoids really help with fine lines?

Yes. Retinoids increase collagen production and speed up cell turnover, which softens fine lines and smooths texture over time. Start slowly — two nights a week — and use daily SPF, since UV undoes the collagen benefit.

How soon will I see results?

Botox starts working in 3–5 days, with full effect at 10–14 days. Collagen-building treatments take longer: most people notice firmer, smoother skin within 4–6 weeks, improving for up to six months.

Will I look overdone?

Results look natural when placement follows your individual muscle anatomy and facial structure rather than a template. PSRx treats the muscle pattern, not the wrinkle location.
