Fine Lines & Wrinkles Treatment in West Miami, Westchester & Coral Gables | LegacyMD

What causes fine lines and wrinkles?

Fine lines and wrinkles are natural signs of aging that occur when the skin loses elasticity, collagen, and moisture over time. As we age, our skin’s ability to regenerate slows down. Environmental factors such as sun exposure, smoking, poor hydration, stress, and repetitive facial expressions contribute significantly to the early formation of wrinkles. In areas like West Miami and Coral Gables, where sun exposure is year-round, UV damage is a common cause of premature aging. Genetics also play a role in how early and where wrinkles develop.

What are the best treatments for fine lines and wrinkles at LegacyMD?

At LegacyMD, we offer a comprehensive suite of advanced treatments designed to target both early signs of aging and deeper wrinkles. Our anti-aging approach is personalized based on your skin type, age, and desired results. Popular wrinkle treatments available at our West Miami clinic include:

• Botox and other neuromodulators
• Dermal fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, Versa)
• Polynucleotide injections
• Sculptra and Radiesse biostimulators
• Microneedling with serums or exosomes
• LED light therapy and skincare regimens

Each treatment is tailored by Dr. Hernandez Loy to target your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.

How does Botox work for wrinkles and what areas can be treated?

Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — those caused by repeated facial expressions. When injected into specific facial muscles, Botox blocks the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, allowing the skin to smooth out over time. Common treatment areas include:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines between the eyebrows ("11s")
• Crow's feet (around the eyes)
• Bunny lines (on the nose)
• Chin dimpling
• Neck bands (platysmal lines)

At LegacyMD in West Miami, Botox is administered in a precise and artistic manner to preserve natural facial expressions while softening wrinkles.

When should I choose dermal fillers over Botox for wrinkles?

Botox is best for treating expression lines caused by muscle movement, while dermal fillers are ideal for static wrinkles and volume loss. If you have deep lines around the mouth, sunken cheeks, or sagging jawlines, fillers provide immediate volume and structure to smooth the area.

Dermal fillers at LegacyMD include hyaluronic acid-based products like Juvederm and Restylane, as well as longer-lasting options like Versa. Dr. Hernandez Loy helps determine whether fillers, Botox, or a combination approach will deliver the most natural and rejuvenating outcome for you.

What are Polynucleotides and how do they repair aging skin?

Polynucleotides are powerful regenerative molecules derived from DNA fragments. They work by stimulating tissue repair, collagen production, and skin hydration. Unlike Botox or fillers, polynucleotides actually help the skin regenerate from within, improving elasticity, texture, and tone over time.

At LegacyMD, we use medical-grade polynucleotide injections for:

• Under-eye wrinkles and dark circles
• Crepey texture around the mouth and cheeks
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation
• Improving overall skin quality and radiance

This treatment is especially beneficial for clients in Coral Gables and Westchester who are looking for skin rejuvenation without adding volume.

How do Sculptra and Radiesse help with wrinkles and facial aging?

Sculptra and Radiesse are considered biostimulatory injectables, meaning they work by encouraging your body to produce its own collagen. Rather than just filling in lines temporarily, they provide long-term structural improvement to sagging or aging skin.

• Sculptra is ideal for rebuilding volume in hollow cheeks, temples, and jawline over a series of treatments.
• Radiesse offers immediate lift and gradually boosts collagen, perfect for smile lines, marionette lines, and even hands.

These treatments are popular at LegacyMD among clients from West Miami and Westchester seeking gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation without an overdone appearance.

Which treatment is best for my specific wrinkle concerns?

The best wrinkle treatment depends on multiple factors, including:

• Type and depth of wrinkles (fine lines vs deep folds)
• Location (forehead, eyes, mouth, jawline, etc.)
• Age, skin tone, and facial anatomy
• Desired outcome (subtle vs dramatic results)

Dr. Hernandez Loy offers thorough consultations at LegacyMD to evaluate your needs and create a personalized anti-aging plan. Whether you need wrinkle softening, skin firming, or full facial rejuvenation, we design a strategy that aligns with your goals and lifestyle.

How long do anti-aging treatments last?

The duration of results varies based on the treatment:

• Botox: 3–4 months
• Hyaluronic acid fillers: 6–12 months
• Polynucleotides: gradual, long-term skin improvement over 2–6 months
• Sculptra: results build over months and can last up to 2 years
• Radiesse: up to 12–18 months

Maintenance appointments are recommended to preserve results, especially in sun-rich areas like Coral Gables and West Miami, where UV exposure accelerates aging.

What can I expect during and after treatment?

Most wrinkle treatments are quick and require little to no downtime. Here’s what to expect:

• Before: A consultation with Dr. Hernandez Loy to assess your skin and create a custom plan
• During: Most procedures take 15–45 minutes and are performed with numbing agents for comfort
• After: Mild swelling or redness may occur and typically resolves within hours to a few days

You can return to daily activities right after your session. Our team provides aftercare guidance to ensure optimal healing and results.

Are wrinkle treatments safe and FDA-approved?

Yes. All injectable wrinkle treatments used at LegacyMD — including Botox, dermal fillers, Sculptra, and Radiesse — are FDA-approved for cosmetic use and have extensive safety records. We only use clinically tested, medical-grade products.

Our team follows strict safety protocols, and Dr. Hernandez Loy personally performs or oversees all procedures to ensure expert-level outcomes. Our clinic in West Miami serves clients from Westchester and Coral Gables who value both safety and excellence in care.

What's the difference between preventative and corrective wrinkle treatments?

Preventative treatments (often started in your late 20s to early 30s) help slow down wrinkle formation by reducing muscle movement and stimulating collagen before significant aging occurs. Botox is commonly used preventatively in areas like the forehead and crow’s feet.

Corrective treatments address wrinkles that are already visible — such as deep lines or volume loss. These may include fillers, biostimulators, and skin-regenerating therapies.

LegacyMD offers both approaches, customizing care based on your age, goals, and current skin condition.
