Wrinkles & Fine Lines

Wrinkle and fine line treatment is a collection of procedures designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, and others are natural signs of aging displayed on the body as we lose elastin and collagen, the substances that keep our skin hydrated, firm, and elastic. Collagen loss, skin laxity, and repetitive facial movements cause wrinkles. These can be compounded by the effects stress, gravity, and environmental factors like air quality have on the skin over long periods.

Fortunately, anti-aging remedies are a staple of medspas worldwide, and Nubo Spa in Berkeley is renowned in the Bay Area. Our talented staff has more than 60 combined years of experience and employs the leading treatments to secure rejuvenating outcomes for each client.

If fine lines and wrinkles are getting you down, then do the right thing for yourself. Schedule a consultation with the talented specialists at Nubo Spa to begin your rejuvenation journey, or call (510) 637-9394 for more information.

About Wrinkles & Fine Lines

Fine lines are the precursors to wrinkles. When they go unaddressed, wrinkles form. Their appearance indicates the beginning of the skin’s aging process. They are shallow, minuscule, and hard to detect. Fine lines are often associated with repetitive facial movements such as laughing, frowning, smiling, or squinting. Since they are still superficial, they are highly responsive to treatments.

Wrinkles and fine lines are closely associated with a person’s health and well-being. In reality, this is just perception, and they have no effect on the medical status of an individual. ⁽¹⁾ However, self-esteem can decline if we are not content with our appearance. Additionally, everyone wants to retain their youth as long as they can. Nubo Spa offers treatments like fillers and injections, facials, microneedling, and more designed to correct wrinkles and treat fine lines before they develop further and become more visible. The right solution for attaining your healthiest-looking skin and reigniting your youthful glow is waiting for you at Nubo Spa.

Wrinkle & Fine Line Treatments

Some of the available options are:

Facials

Facials are non-invasive, non-surgical skin care treatments that help exfoliate your pores and inspire new skin cell growth. There are several different facial methods with various techniques, but most involve a cleansing and analysis of the facial pores and skin quality, deep exfoliation, removal of blackheads and pimples, and a soothing, hydrating mask. ⁽²⁾ Sometimes face and arm massages are incorporated, too. They often need little recovery time with virtually no pain. The following facials are offered at Nubo Spa:

Topical Skincare

Medical-grade, science-backed topical formulas work to break down acne-causing bacteria as well as its subsequent scarring. Nubo Spa specialists work with topical solutions that are much more concentrated and effective than what is available over the counter and at standard spas. Many of these use retinoids; compounds that can penetrate further into the skin to treat the underlying issues of wrinkles and blemishes. ⁽²⁾ Some of the brands we work with are:

Vivace Experience

Vivace Experience (microneedling with radiofrequency) is a cutting-edge treatment that uses small needles to prick the skin, generating new collagen and skin tissue for smoother, more toned skin. This also promotes the release of hyaluronic acid to the treatment site. This hormone is responsible for stimulating cell growth, meaning your wrinkles and fine lines are leveled out as the body adds tissue. Vivace Experience is mostly used on the face and may treat various scars, wrinkles, and large pores.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are well-known for their ability to help improve your skin’s tone and texture by sloughing off dead skin and revealing the fresh and healthy skin beneath. These peels use mildly caustic chemicals to eat away at the dead and blemished outer skin. Patients report even melanin distribution, rejuvenated and “normal-looking” skin, and other fantastic outcomes. ⁽¹⁾

Injections

Minimally invasive injection procedures are performed in less than an hour, require almost no downtime, and offer long-lasting results. Injections can contain synthetic filler materials or medications that stimulate growth. Many prompt the release of hyaluronic acid or introduce HA into the targeted site to accelerate tissue growth in the area. ⁽¹⁾ By adding mass under wrinkles, whether synthetic or new tissue, the skin has to stretch to compensate for increased surface area, thus smoothing your wrinkles and fine lines. Some of the popular injectables we offer include:

Benefits

These are just a few of the benefits you can experience, and there are countless more that will apply to your unique case. Discover all that is waiting for you by scheduling a consultation with the expert specialists at Nubo Spa today.

Candidates and Personal Consultation

One of the best features of the wrinkle restoration procedures at Nubo Spa is that anyone can receive them. No matter what your medical predispositions are or the severity of your wrinkles, there is a rejuvenation method that will work for you.

At Nubo Spa, you have access to a team of medical spa professionals that prides itself on providing superior customer service. We put your safety, comfort, and satisfaction above all else. When you are ready, contact our office and book your consultation to plan your treatment.

Preparation

Proper preparation will depend on your procedure. You will receive more specific instructions on how to prepare after your initial consultation. We do, however, ask that you arrive at your procedure(s) with a clean, recently washed face.

Recovery

Your recovery will depend on the rejuvenation procedure performed. Following your procedure, your Nubo Spa specialist will provide you with detailed instructions on how to ensure a swift, easy, and safe recovery. One major general guideline to follow is to avoid touching your face. Procedures like microneedling, chemical peels, and injections will leave microscopic, open wounds on your face. While these are minor, it is important to keep as much dirt and bacteria away as possible. Along with this, we recommend washing your hands before and after washing your face. When washing your face, use a more gentle cleanser than normal for the first few days. For patients who received topical solutions and/or facials, we recommend not washing your face for 12-24 hours to allow the soaps, compounds, and medications to maximize their effectiveness.

Results

Nubo Spa patients are consistently satisfied with their rejuvenation results. We normally see a 15-20% reduction in wrinkle and fine line appearance in just one topical solution session. ⁽²⁾ When combined with other procedures, patients see even more significant results.

We recommend wearing daily sunscreen to maintain these results long-term, especially if you live in a sunny climate like ours in California. The sun’s ultraviolet rays are one of the biggest causes of skin deterioration, and taking steps to avoid its effects can have significant impacts on your appearance.

Another major benefit of our medspa treatments is that they can be repeated. There is no limit to the facials, chemical peels, and others you can receive in a lifetime. If you find that your skin needs a touch-up, you are always welcome to return. Just call our Berkeley office at (510) 637-9394 to arrange your appointment.
