A wrinkle is more than just a hateful little line on your face. The wrinkle is actually comprised of three different parts. These include the skin, the muscle underneath, and the fat and connective tissue in the face.

In youth, the skin will wrinkle during a facial expression, such as a smile or frown, but will bounce right back into place. As we get older, the skin doesn't bounce back and a permanent wrinkle forms which will eventually turn into a deep facial wrinkle.

To effectively fight wrinkles, you have to provide treatment to all three components of a wrinkle, not just the skin.

Dr. Denise skin range products are designed to help treat all parts of the wrinkle and take care of problem areas.

Exfoliation is essential in good skin care. Unless the dead skin is removed from the face, no other skin product will be effective on the under layers of skin. Exfoclean soap free-cleanser and Firming Facial Pads are excellent products for exfoliation that is safe for everyday use.

A peel may be needed if wrinkles are already very deep in the skin. These products remove more layers of dead and partially dead skin to give a fresh and renewed look to the face. There are several strengths of peels, from a basic surface peel to a deep laser peel. The three main types of peels are chemical, which use acids to remove layers of skin, mechanical which use scrubbing and lastly laser which employ lasers to strip away skin. Very strong peels may be necessary but expect a lengthy recovery time. Dr. Denese's Triple Fizzing AHA/BHA Facial Peel is a mild peel alternative that can be administered at home.

Moisturizing is a major step in the prevention and treatment of wrinkles. Many brands use lipids to replace the natural lipids that are lost in other skin care treatments, such as peels.

The following products only treat the skin and as stated earlier there are two more parts to a developing wrinkle, muscle and fat.

Relaxing the muscle is the best way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but can usually only be done by injection of chemicals. A new alternative is hexapeptide argireline, which treats the skin but is also thought to affect the muscles underneath by reducing the instance of chemicals that cause muscles to contract. The Wrinkl-Less Line Reducer Serum, using the hexapeptide argireline to improve facial tone and smooth out wrinkles. In addition the serum contains hyaluronic acid, which replenishes moisture to the skin.

The wrinkles formed by fat and tissue loss are usually most noticeable on the skin right above the mouth and under the nose. Fillers can be injection into the area to reduce these wrinkles. However, a little bit of prevention can go a long way to avoiding the need for injections. Above all protect your skin from the sun in order to prevent loss of collagen that is the main reason behind wrinkles.
