Dynamic and static wrinkles
Dynamic wrinkles appear only with movement. Left untreated, they can become static and stay visible at rest.
Wrinkles are a natural part of ageing and rarely a medical concern, but treatment can soften them.
What causes wrinkles
Age is the main cause. Ultraviolet light and smoking weaken the skin’s elasticity, and repeated facial expressions leave lasting grooves as skin becomes less flexible.
Everyone gets wrinkles. Regular sun exposure and smoking make them more likely.
Treatment options
- Botox treats dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the muscle beneath them, which also helps prevent static wrinkles from forming.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume beneath static wrinkles.
- Collagen stimulators such as Sculptra restore lost volume gradually.
- CO2 laser resurfacing vaporises the outer layer of skin and stimulates new collagen.
- Microneedling and chemical peels improve fine lines and skin texture.

Which treatment is right for my wrinkles?
It depends on the type of wrinkle. Dynamic wrinkles, which appear with facial movement, respond well to Botox. Static wrinkles, which are visible at rest, are usually treated with hyaluronic acid fillers or CO2 laser resurfacing. Dr. Guo will recommend a plan based on your skin and goals.
Who performs wrinkle treatments at Rejuvenation Calgary North?
Botox, dermal filler and CO2 laser resurfacing treatments at Rejuvenation Calgary North are performed personally by Dr. Danny Guo, a double board-certified dermatologist (Canada and the United States) and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon.
What is the difference between dynamic and static wrinkles?
Dynamic wrinkles only appear with movement, such as frowning, squinting or smiling. Static wrinkles are visible even when the face is at rest. Untreated dynamic wrinkles can become static over time.
How long do wrinkle treatment results last?
Botox typically lasts 3 to 4 months. Hyaluronic acid fillers generally last from 6 months to 2 years depending on the product and area treated. Results from CO2 laser resurfacing can last up to 2 years.
Can wrinkles be prevented?
Aging is the main cause of wrinkles, but sun protection and not smoking help preserve skin elasticity. Treating dynamic wrinkles with Botox can also help prevent them from becoming static.
