Deep wrinkle treatment
Again, as is the case with most cosmetic rejuvenation questions, there is no 'best' answer. Each patient is different and each solution should be tailored to the patient's individual needs.
Another thing to consider with deep wrinkles is the location - what works for nasolabial folds may not work for forehead. As such, all permutations would be almost impossible to include.
Instead, I will focus on some of the options for dealing with deep wrinkles. Keep in mind that wrinkles can be due to...

Deep wrinkles have a lot of treatment options
It really depends on where the wrinkles are located. Wrinkles occur because of skin damage, loss of volume and progressive changes to the skin through continual muscle movement. What happens when you age is you progressively lose volume from losing thickness within your skin, loss of fat, bone atrophy, etc.It is analogous to a grape shrinking into a raisin. Raisins obviously have a lot of wrinkles compared to a grape. We have traditionally improved the appearance of the raisin by cutting...

Active and Deep FX Laser Treatment For Deep Wrinkles
The latest technology in cosmetic laser resurfacing and deep wrinkle treatment are lasers called Active FX for the facial surface areas and Deep FX for deep lines and wrinkles.

This is a fractionated laser, much superior to Fraxel. I have not heard of a patient who has had Fraxel who didn't think this was much, much better.

Best Treatment for Deep Wrinkles
Obviously, there are nonsurgical treatments for deep wrinkles. One can do fillers and botulinum toxins, but in general the optimal permanent treatment options are “Filling, Lifting, and Resurfacing” in that order especially in the areas around the perioral area.

"Best" treatment for deep wrinkles
Greetings~
Fortunately or unfortunately, not all wrinkles are the same and there is no one "best" treatment for all of them. Without seeing or knowing what your specific concerns may be, it is nearly impossible to say what your options would be. Some wrinkles can be treated with Botox and fillers... Some may need Botox, filler and some type of laser resurfacing...and still others may require all of these things in addition to surgery for the best result. If...

Deep Wrinkles
Filler Injectable Procedures such as Radiesse, Juvederm, and Restylane are excellent for deep wrinkles. However, the effective duration may be about 6 months.
For a longer term solution, laser resurfacing techniques such as erbium and profractional may prove beneficial.

Options to treat deep wrinkles
Using fillers to volumize and solutions such as Botox or Dysport to treat the underlying tight muscles is a good course of action for deep wrinkles. Factors such as where they are located and how deep the wrinkles actually are will play a role in the type of treatment that may be most successful.
The best course of action is to schedule an exam with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, allow him or her to examine your condition, and then discuss the best treatment options available based...
