Face Concerns
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing, but that does not mean they have to be accepted without question. Whether they are early expression lines or deeper static wrinkles, there are effective clinical treatments that can soften their appearance and restore a more rested, refreshed look without changing the way you look.
UNDERSTANDING THE CONCERN
What Causes Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process, developing as the skin loses collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid over time. Dynamic lines, those caused by repeated facial movement, tend to appear first around the eyes, forehead and mouth. Static lines, which are visible even at rest, develop later as the skin loses the ability to spring back fully.
Sun exposure significantly accelerates this process, as UV radiation breaks down collagen fibres and reduces the skin’s capacity to regenerate. Lifestyle factors including smoking, dehydration and poor sleep quality also contribute, which is why two people of the same age can show very different levels of skin ageing.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
A forehead that looks more furrowed or lined than you feel inside
Lines around the eyes that are visible even when your face is at rest
Lines around the mouth that have deepened over time
Skin that looks more tired or older in photographs than in the mirror
Expression lines that no longer fully smooth out between movements
Crepey or thinning skin that has lost its former bounce and resilience
A general look of tiredness that sleep alone does not resolve
