Fine lines at 26, just noticed. Maybe from IPL photofacial

Question

I have gotten two IPL photofacial treatments. I’m not for certain, but I think it gave me fine lines :( I also get Botox around my eyes and on my forehead. I started early but I figured it would help me stay on top of the aging process. I can only really see these fine lines in the right natural light, and when I smile I see them underneath my eye (bag area) outer corner. Again, very fine. I have very fair skin but am VERY healthy and would say i take good care of my skin. Is this normal

Juvederm Volite is currently unavailable in U.S. market. However, a popular alternative is Belotero. Belotero is used for fine lines and is used like volite for both plumping and rejuvenating the skin. Much like restylane skin boosters available outside the us.

I can assure you that the IPL photo facial will not cause lines ?  Maybe some dryness after the procedure...you should use the appropriate skin care products to enhance the procedure.  Please remember to apply sunscreen daily and proper water intake is crucial for the skin.

IPL will not cause fine lines.  IPL treats reds and browns in the skin.  Preventative maintenance is a good thing to slow the aging process.  You may want to look into Clear and Brilliant Fraxel treatments as a way to stimulate collagen production.
