Smile Lines - is there a procedure that can fix these? (Photo)

At least from the photos provided, the use of a low viscosity, malleable, cohesive HA filler would be appropriate for addressing these motion-accentuated lines. In the hands of an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler injection expert, the filler can be injected in such a way as to provide a supportive buttress under the lines in order to minimize skin accentuated skin folding with facial expressions. Treatment should take no more than about ten minutes to perform, usually engenders little to no significant post-treatment downtime, and the results typically are immediate. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin - Winnetka & Chicago. This is a great question. For curved, chipmunk-like smile lines, filler or laser treatments are typically used to smooth and soften the area. Filler can add support where the tissue folds, and laser resurfacing can improve skin texture and tighten the lines. I hope this helps and best of luck!
