Are all wrinkles the same?
In a word, NO.
There are "static" wrinkles and "dynamic" wrinkles. Static wrinkles are present with your facial muscles at rest - when you're not smiling, talking or eating. Static wrinkles are present all the time. These static wrinkles, as well as sagging, worsen over time, as your skin produces less and less collagen and elastin (the things that give skin its resiliency). (See example below)
You can successfully address static wrinkles with
Rodan + Fields Redefine regimen and tools!
Dynamic wrinkles, on the other hand, are present when the facial muscles are active. Examples of dynamic wrinkles include worsening of crow’s feet when smiling or forehead lines with eyebrow movement. These dynamic wrinkles also worsen over time, as your skin begins to lose things like hyaluronic acid. (See examples below)
Most people have varying forms of both static and dynamic wrinkles. But, for the sake of this post, we will focus solely on Dynamic Wrinkles.
DYNAMIC WRINKLE CARE OPTIONS
Botox
As you probably know, Botox relaxes the muscle it's injected in . The effect of Botox is usually seen in 2-3 weeks, but can occur in the first week after treatment. The effect is temporary.
The Pros: Effects last anywhere from 3-6 months.
The Cons: Needles are painful.
Treatments are costly.
If overdone, injections can eliminate natural expression.
Botox resistance may build over time.
Larger doses may cause negative side effects.
Dermal fillers have recently undergone a resurgence in interest and usage. Fillers allow facial features to achieve more fullness, which defines a more youthful look. Fillers restore volume to the skin and allow for the correction of moderate to severe facial (dynamic) wrinkles and folds.
Dermal fillers can be classified into two broad categories: Non-Biodegradable and Degradable
Non-Biodegradable Synthetic fillers that are currently available in the United States can be classified as injectables (Artecoll and Silicone) and implants (GORE-TEX and Ultrasoft). These fillers tend to be used for longer-term correction of skin and soft tissue defects. They tend to be associated with more problems.
Degradable fillers (effects lessen with time):
1. Collagen (usually last less than 3 months) - bovine, porcine, or bioengineered human
2. Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body-often referred to as “sugar gel”. The most popular hyaluronic acids are restylane, perlane( a thicker restylane) and hylaform. Hylaform is avian derived whereas restylane and perlane are non animal derived.
3. Autologous Fat: this is fat taken from one part of your own body to be used as a filler. This is safe, but the effects are variable.
How long do the results last? If used every three days for a month, the results can be maintained for up to another eight weeks (total of 12 weeks) with continued use of the REDEFINE anti-aging daily skin care regimen. If the REDEFINE AMP MD™ System is used in conjunction with the REDEFINE Regimen, this benefit can be maintained even further.
Note: It must be remembered that the use of dermal fillers is really an art- like sculpting. Everyone needs to be individualized and touch-ups may be necessary.

Hylaform tends to last about three months whereas restylane tends to last four to six months. The hyaluronic acid fillers have been associated with minimal allergic reactions. They absorb water and hence last longer than collagen fillers.

4. Acute Care™
Effective September 2014, there is a NEW option available. You can FILL A WRINKLE, WHILE YOU SLEEP...and NO NEEDLES ARE REQUIRED!
Introducing Rodan + Fields Acute Care™ patches. Apply one band-aid sized patch to your area of concern before going to bed and VOILA! it fills your dynamic wrinkle overnight.
REDEFINE ACUTE CARE ™ PATCHES
What's in it? Like an injectable filler, Acute Care™ utilizes Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, as well as SH-Oligopeptide-1, both of which are naturally occurring in the human body, but diminish with age. Acute Care™ patches are latex-free and designed for single-use application. Results are seen in as little as 30 minutes, but best results are seen when used overnight, while the body is at rest.
How does the filler get into the skin? Rodan + Fields has revolutionized skin care with its patented Liquid Cone Technology. Liquid Cone Technology is a targeted delivery system. Each liquid cone holds hyaluronic acid and oligopeptide-1 in solid form until it comes into contact with skin. Upon contact, the cone melts onto the skin and into the wrinkle.
