Aging is a natural part of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to look as old as you feel. At Source Medical Aesthetics, we believe in empowering you to age beautifully and confidently. One of the most common concerns we hear from our clients in Matawan, NJ, is about wrinkles and the gradual loss of facial volume. Understanding why this happens is the first step to finding the right solution.

Why Do We Get Wrinkles and Lose Collagen?

Wrinkles develop for several reasons, but one of the biggest culprits is collagen loss. Collagen is a vital protein in your skin that provides structure, elasticity, and firmness. As early as your mid-20s, your body’s natural collagen production begins to slow. By your 40s and 50s, this decline becomes more noticeable, leading to thinner, drier skin that’s more prone to creases and sagging.

In addition to collagen loss, repetitive facial movements—like smiling, frowning, or squinting—create dynamic wrinkles. Over time, these movements etch fine lines and deeper creases into the skin. Environmental factors like sun exposure, stress, poor diet, and smoking can accelerate this process, breaking down collagen and elastin more rapidly.

The Power of Modern Aesthetics: Neurotoxins and Fillers

Thankfully, there are highly effective, non-surgical treatments that can address both the  cause and the appearance of wrinkles. At Source Medical Aesthetics, we offer  neurotoxin injections and  dermal fillers—two of the most trusted and transformative options in aesthetic medicine.

Wrinkle Relaxers (Neurotoxins)

Neurotoxin treatments work by temporarily relaxing the small facial muscles that cause expression lines. When these muscles are gently inhibited, the skin above them smooths out, softening crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.

These treatments are quick, require no downtime, and provide results that typically last 3–4 months. At Source Medical Aesthetics, we customize your wrinkle relaxer treatment to ensure natural-looking results that preserve your unique expressions.

Dermal Fillers

While neurotoxins address dynamic wrinkles, dermal fillers target volume loss and static wrinkles. Made from hyaluronic acid—a substance your body naturally produces—fillers restore youthful volume to the cheeks, lips, and under-eye areas, and can even sculpt the jawline or smooth out deep nasolabial folds.

Our providers are highly trained in the latest filler techniques, delivering subtle, balanced enhancements that help replenish lost collagen and contour the face for a refreshed, rejuvenated appearance

Rosacea Tips for Warm Weather:

We also recommend daily approaches that you can incorporate in order to keep your skin health as optimal as possible and reduce the risk or severity of rosacea flareup.

• Wear SPF 30+ daily
• Avoid hot showers + spicy foods
