Surgical and procedural options:

Laser resurfacing: This is of two types (a) Ablative (b) Nonablative.

1. In this a laser beam destroys the outer layer of skin and heats underlying skin which stimulates growth of new collagen fibers.
2. In this laser fractional resurfacing has a shorter healing time and fewer risks than does the ablative technique.

Photodynamic rejuvenation: This also can treat fine wrinkles.

Chemical peel: To remove the outer layers of the skin.

Soft tissue fillers: Soft tissue fillers having fat collagen and hyaluronic acid can be injected into the wrinkles.
