Beyond the Surface: Targeted Solutions for Dynamic Wrinkles, Static Lines, and Folds at Spa Blue

Dynamic Wrinkles: The Lines of Expression
Dynamic wrinkles are the facial lines that appear when you move your face, smile, frown, raise your eyebrows, squint, etc. They are caused by the underlying facial muscles repeatedly contracting and pulling the skin into creases over time.

When you make a facial expression, the underlying muscle contracts, causing the skin above it to bunch and fold. In youth, high levels of collagen and elastin allow the skin to immediately snap back to its smooth state. As you age, this elasticity diminishes. Over time, the repeated folding breaks down the skin’s structure, causing those temporary lines to etch themselves permanently into the surface, even when the face is relaxed.

● Glabellar Lines: The “11s” or frown lines that appear between the eyebrows.
● Frontal Lines: The horizontal lines that run across the forehead.
● Periorbital Lines: Commonly known as crow’s feet, which fan out from the corners of the eyes when you squint or smile.

How we approach this at Spa Blue
At Spa Blue, Janet Beres, PA-C and the team begin with a full assessment of your facial muscle dynamics: how you express, where the lines appear when you move, and which muscles are responsible. They then recommend treatments such as injectable neurotoxins (e.g., Botox® or similar) targeted to the muscle groups causing the lines.

Why early treatment matters
By relaxing the muscle contractions early on, you prevent dynamic lines from turning into permanent folds in essence, slowing the ‘deep-freeze’ of movement lines into static lines. This gives you a fresher appearance while preserving natural expression.

Static Wrinkles: The Lines of Rest
Static wrinkles are lines or creases that are visible even when the face is at rest. They are deeper, more permanent, and generally reflect loss of volume, thinning skin, reduced elasticity, sun damage, and gravity-driven changes.

Characteristics and causes
● Appear due to collagen/elastin breakdown, volume loss (fat, bone, soft tissue), sun exposure, smoking, etc.

● Once dynamic lines are repeated long enough, they may transition into static lines (i.e., what was once only seen during expression now remains even at rest).

● Examples: deep laugh-lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines (from corners of the mouth down to the chin), lines across the cheeks, neck lines, etc.

Treatment strategy at Spa Blue
For static wrinkles, Janet Beres and the team customise a layered approach:

● Volumising treatments (e.g., dermal fillers) to replace lost support and lift the area of the crease.

● Skin-resurfacing, laser, radio-frequency or microneedling to improve texture, stimulate collagen and improve skin quality.

● Maintenance of muscle-relaxing treatments (to minimise further dynamic contribution) plus good skincare.

This approach ensures the wrinkle is not simply “covered up” but the underlying causes (volume loss, skin quality) are addressed.

The Lines of Descent
Wrinkle folds—often called gravitational folds—are deep grooves or creases that form as a result of sagging soft tissue, bone and fat loss, skin thinning and the downward pull of gravity. They manifest as structural changes, not just surface lines.

● These are not just superficial lines but folds of skin created by volume descent and laxity (for example, nasolabial folds, jowls, the crease from nose to corner of mouth).

● They are influenced by bone resorption, fat pad loss, thinning skin, ligament laxity, and gravity acting over time.

● Because the structural support changes, purely muscle-relaxing treatments (for dynamic wrinkles) are insufficient – you need a multi-modal structural treatment plan.

How Spa Blue addresses them
Janet Beres and her team at Spa Blue evaluate the mid-face architecture, fat/volume loss, skin quality, and muscular function. For gravitational folds the plan may include:

● Dermal fillers (to restore volume and lift)
● Collagen stimulators or RF/ultrasound tightening treatments
● Skin resurfacing for texture improvement
● Strategic planning for long-term maintenance (since volume loss/gavity effects are progressive)

In combining these elements, Spa Blue helps patients diminish the depth of the fold, improve skin tone and texture, and restore a more youthful balance to the face.

Choosing the right treatment depends on knowing which type of wrinkle or fold you have, and what underlying mechanisms are driving it.

● If you treat a static wrinkle as if it’s a dynamic one (e.g., only injecting neuromodulator), you may under-treat and get suboptimal results.
● If you treat a dynamic line as if it’s purely static (e.g., only filler) you may miss the opportunity to prevent progression.
● Gravitational folds often require a more structural plan—volume + skin tightening + maintenance.

At Spa Blue, the consultation process led by Janet Beres ensures your wrinkle type is carefully assessed, a customised plan is created, and realistic expectations set.

Step 1: Consultation
● We look at your facial movement (to assess dynamic lines), your resting anatomy (static lines) and structural descent (gravitational folds).
● We review your skin history: sun exposure, smoking, prior treatments, skin care routine.
● We discuss your goals: “I want smoother, not expressionless”; “I want lift without surgery”; “I want long-term improvement”.

Step 2: Customised Plan
● For dynamic wrinkles: targeted neuromodulator injections (e.g., Botox) by Janet Beres, PA-C.
● For static wrinkles: filler volume replacement, skin-resurfacing, collagen-boosting treatments.
● For gravitational folds: layered plan including volume, tightening, or non-surgical lift options.
● Maintenance schedule discussed: revisits, follow-ups, skincare, lifestyle support.

Step 3: Treatment & Follow-up
● Many procedures are quick, minimally invasive, and performed in-office.
● Results timelines vary: dynamic wrinkle treatments often show initial improvement in days, full effect in 10–14 days.
● Static or fold treatments may show immediate lift (with filler) and ongoing improvement (with collagen-stimulators).
● We schedule follow-up visits to ensure optimal results and adjust as needed.

Step 4: Maintenance & Prevention
● Regular check-ins to catch new dynamic lines early.
● Skincare: daily sun protection, retinoids/peptides, moisturisers to support collagen & elastin.
● Lifestyle: avoid smoking, limit UV-exposure, maintain hydration, healthy diet – all these support skin’s resilience.
● Long-term plan may evolve — as we age, structural support continues to change, so maintenance is key.

Yes — by reducing the repetitive muscle contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles, you reduce the wear-and-tear that eventually leads to static lines. At Spa Blue, Janet Beres emphasises early neuromodulator treatment to reduce progression. However, prevention isn’t absolute — other factors (sun damage, volume loss, gravity) still play roles.

Those lines are likely static wrinkles or gravitational folds. At Spa Blue, we would evaluate volume loss and sagging. Often the best approach is a combination: dermal fillers to restore support, plus skin-tightening or collagen-stimulating treatments. Janet Beres will tailor the treatment to your anatomy and goals.

At Spa Blue, the aim is refined natural expression, not “frozen”. Janet Beres, PA-C uses precise dosing and placement to target the wrinkle-causing muscles while preserving surrounding muscle function — meaning you can still smile and express naturally, but the lines are softened.

Understanding the type of facial line you have is the first step toward effective, lasting results. At Spa Blue Skin Care & Laser Center in Orlando, PA-C Janet Beres leads a comprehensive, personalised approach to wrinkle and fold treatment. You don’t need to accept deep lines or sagging — with modern, minimally-invasive tools and expertise you can restore smoother, fresher skin with maintained natural expression.
