What causes them and the many treatment options available.

What Causes Wrinkles?

• More than 80% of wrinkles and facial aging is caused by exposure to the sun’s UV rays.
• As your skin ages, healthy cellular exfoliation slows and dead skin cells accumulate on the skin’s surface.
• Cell division at the deeper layer slows down and the supportive structure of the epidermis becomes less effective.
• Skin loses its strength and elasticity. Wrinkles appear.

Treatment Options:

• Today, new treatments and technologies in skin rejuvenation are available. 
• A combination of in-clinic and at home products can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
• Calidora recommends customized treatments for individuals who are concerned about wrinkles and could recommend a variety of treatments based on the individuals skin type.
• These treatments can include:
  • Chemical Peels – Calidora customizes our chemical peels which resurface the skin creating a smoother, complexion
  • Microdermabrasion revives and rejuventates skin using an exfoliating system to mimimize fine lines on the face.
  • Laser & Light Therapies – various treatments from skin tightening and facial rejuvenations
