Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but that does not mean you have to accept them. Our Colorado Springs team offers a full range of treatments—from quick injectables to comprehensive resurfacing—that soften lines and restore a more youthful quality to your skin.
Understanding Your Concern
Not all wrinkles are the same, and understanding the difference matters when it comes to treating them effectively.
Lines and wrinkles develop through two distinct mechanisms that tend to work together as we age. Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated facial muscle movement. Every time you smile, squint, frown, or raise your brows, the skin above those muscles folds and creases. When the skin is young and collagen-rich, it rebounds after each expression without leaving a trace. As collagen production slows and the skin begins to thin, those temporary creases start to linger, eventually becoming visible even when the face is completely at rest.
Static wrinkles are a different matter. These develop from the gradual loss of collagen and elastin, thinning of the skin, and the slow downward shift of facial support structures over time, independent of movement. They’re present at rest and tend to deepen progressively as the underlying structure continues to change.
In most patients, both types are present, which is why the most effective approach addresses both mechanisms together: relaxing the muscle movement that drives dynamic lines where appropriate, while rebuilding the collagen structure and skin density that determines how well the skin holds up overall.
Dynamic wrinkles develop from decades of facial expressions gradually etching lines into the skin as collagen declines.
As facial fat pads shrink and shift over time, skin loses support and folds become more visible.
Static wrinkles develop as structural support beneath the skin breaks down, reducing firmness and allowing lines to deepen.
From Dr. Dunham
Treatment Results Last Long-Term
Because lines and wrinkles can stem from muscle movement, collagen loss, or both, the right treatment varies from patient to patient. Dr. Dunham and his team will assess which mechanisms are at play and put together a plan that addresses the actual cause rather than just the surface.
Relax dynamic wrinkles with physician-supervised precision.
Skin tightening, collagen & elastin rebuilding, and resurfacing for face, neck & chest.
Combines microneedling and RF energy to treat deep lines and wrinkles, sagging jowls, and overall skin quality. Face and neck are always treated together at no additional cost, and it pairs especially well with Pixel CO2 Laser, PRP, or exosomes for further results.
Restore volume and smooth static lines with natural-looking filler.
Comprehensive resurfacing for lines and aging skin quality.
Why Patients Choose Us
Our goal is to soften signs of aging while preserving expression and movement so you still look like yourself.
All neurotoxin and filler treatments are physician-supervised by Dr. Dunham with an emphasis on safety, precision, and natural-looking outcomes.
We focus on restoring what aging has changed—not creating an overdone appearance. The result should feel refreshed, balanced, and recognizable.
Neurotoxin relaxes facial muscles that contribute to dynamic wrinkles such as forehead lines and crow’s feet. Filler restores lost volume and softens static lines that remain even when the face is at rest.
Neurotoxin generally lasts 3–4 months. Hyaluronic acid fillers often last 12–18 months. Sculptra may last 2 years or longer. Morpheus8Burst and Pixel CO2 Laser results are long-term with our comprehensive, corrective treatment approach — with occasional single maintenance treatments, your results will last as long as you wish.
Yes. Collagen-stimulating treatments such as Morpheus8Burst and Pixel CO2 Laser focus on improving skin structure and quality without injectable products.
Neurotoxin and filler generally involve little to no downtime. Morpheus8Burst usually requires several days of recovery and Pixel CO2 Laser involves a longer healing period.
Neurotoxin is typically priced per unit, filler per syringe, and energy-based treatments per session. Financing is available through Cherry. Exact pricing is determined during consultation.
Dr. Dunham and his team will evaluate your skin and build a lines and wrinkles plan designed around the refreshed, natural result you are after. Real results rarely come from a single treatment. Dr. Dunham and his team often combine and stack multiple treatments into one strategic plan built around your goals — because we’re focused on your results, not a sales pitch.
