It is important to distinguish between sun induced, nondynamic rhytides and the dynamic, motion associated wrinkles of expression. The dynamic wrinkles of expression are best treated with chemodenervation (eg. Botulinum toxin - Botox), whereas gravity induced furrows and folds are best treated with soft tissue augmentation, followed by a peeling or a resurfacing procedure. Chemical peeling is often used in conjunction with Botox and soft tissue filling agents.
