Lines & wrinkles

Lines tell a story — of every smile, squint, and expression your face has held over the years. But sometimes that story gets misread. A furrowed brow from years of concentration can look like anger. A resting expression shaped by deep thinking can come across as stern or unapproachable. The lines are honest, but they don’t always say what you actually feel inside.

Not every line needs to disappear, either. Some crow’s feet and smile lines are simply the trace of kindness and a life spent laughing, and they can be the most beautiful part of a face. Part of this consultation is figuring out, together, which lines you’d like softened and which ones are worth keeping exactly as they are. No cream can make that distinction, treat the two differently, or have the same effect as an in-office treatment — that takes a trained eye and a plan built around your specific face.

Because lines sit right on the surface of how we read a face, even small changes here can shift how rested, approachable, or confident you look to others. Balanced dosing and thoughtful placement are used so you look rested and refreshed rather than frozen.

Your plan is built around which lines are driven by movement versus by skin quality, since the two are treated differently. In some cases, Dr. Bat-Erdene may also recommend a topical prescription, such as a retinoid, to support skin quality alongside your in-office treatment.
