State of art way to soften appearance of wrinkles

The state-of-the-art way to soften the appearance of wrinkles is with fractional laser resurfacing (performed with a laser called Fraxel).

Fraxel produces thousands of tiny but deep columns of treatment in your skin, known as microthermal treatment zones. This treatment eliminates old epidermal pigmented cells. It also penetrates deep into the dermis.

Just as important, though, are the areas of skin the Fraxel laser leaves untouched. For every microthermal zone the laser targets and treats intensively, it leaves the surrounding tissue unaffected and intact. This "fractional" treatment allows the skin to heal much faster than if the entire area were treated at once, using the body's natural healing process to create new, healthy tighter tissue to replace skin wrinkles and imperfections.

For superficial wrinkles:

• Polaris
• Fraxel
• Restylane
• Juvederm plus 

For facial creases and folds:

• Perlane
• Juvederm ultra plus
• Thermage
• Radiesse
• Sculptra
• ArteFill

For dynamic wrinkles:

• Botox

For deep wrinkles:

• Sciton Lasers
• Portrait Plasma
• Deep & medium chemical peels

Where do you want to start. This is a very broad subject. There are so many injectables, botox, surgical procedures, skin care lines. etc.. that can treat wrinkles it all depends upon where they exist, the quality of the tissues,  what is causing the wrinkles, the amount of subcutaneous fat you have below the skin, etc..  I would suggest going to a plastic surgeon for consultation to go over specific areas of interest.
