Is There a Permanent Solution to Fine Lines and Wrinkles? I am 27 and I am trying to figure out what procedure to use for my fine horizontal lines on my forehead, two semi-deep vertical line in between my eyes, and deep lines running vertically from my nose to my lips(smile lines?). The bottom line is I want to see a reduction in wrinkles and lines. Results! What do you advise? (I don't care much for botox/jervaderm etc I want something much more permanent! - laser? other?)

A: Permanent Solution for Fine Lines & Wrinkles?

Hi Indie. Unfortunately a permanent solution to your issue does not exist. Although you seem averse to considering it, it would seem that Botox and a dermal filler are your best option.

Botox is the best and only real viable solution for the vertical lines between the eyes and the laugh lines at the nose and mouth might be helped by surgery gut would seem like an unusual step for soemone your age. We recommend recosidering injection procedures.

Is It a Bad Idea to Have ONE Single Broken Capillary (Blood Vessel) Treated with a Laser? I have a broken blood vessel on my nose that really bothers me. If I got just this one capillary treated, would it be a dumb idea? Would the cost of treating a single blood vessel be a significantly lower price? Or would the price not be worth the treatment?

A: Would Treating One Facial Vein be a Bad Idea?

Hi Kaitlyn. The question of whether or not to treat one facial vein with lasers is one that only you can decide based on the prices in your area and what value you place on getting rid of the the veins.

We are in Los Angeles and at our practice, the minimum we would have for a laser treatment like this would be $200. We would use a KTP (532) or long pulsed Nd:Yg (1064) laser for this procedure, but a pulsed dye laser (585) and potentially an IPL may be able to remove a vein like this as well. Good luck.
