Wrinkles are lines, creases, or folds that form in the skin. They are a natural part of the aging process, primarily caused by a breakdown of collagen and elastin, the structural proteins that keep our skin firm and elastic. Other contributing factors include sun exposure, genetics, repetitive facial movements, smoking, and environmental pollutants.

The appearance of wrinkles varies from person to person, influenced by genetics and lifestyle. However, fine lines can often start to become noticeable in the late 20s and early 30s, particularly around the eyes (crow’s feet). More pronounced wrinkles tend to develop in the 40s and beyond as collagen and elastin production naturally decreases.

While we can’t completely stop the aging process, we can certainly take steps to minimize and slow down the development of wrinkles. Consistent sun protection with broad-spectrum SPF, a healthy skincare routine with hydrating and antioxidant-rich products, avoiding smoking, staying hydrated, and managing stress can all make a significant difference.

There’s a wide range of treatments available, from topical skincare products containing ingredients like retinoids and peptides, to in-clinic procedures. These include treatments to relax muscles and restore volume, and collagen stimulating treatments. The best option depends on the type and severity of your wrinkles, your skin type, and your desired outcome.

The best way to determine the most suitable wrinkle treatment is to have a consultation with a qualified and experienced practitioner. They will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and goals, and recommend a personalised treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and expectations.

The best time to start treating wrinkles is really a personal decision, often guided by when you first begin to notice lines that bother you. For preventative measures, we suggest starting a good skincare routine, including sun protection, in your late 20s or early 30s, even before significant wrinkles appear.

However, it’s never too late to start addressing wrinkles. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or beyond, treatments can help soften existing lines and improve skin quality. Starting earlier can focus on prevention and addressing fine lines, while later treatments may target more established wrinkles and volume loss. A consultation with a practitioner can help determine the most appropriate timing and approach for your individual needs and goals.

Deciding if wrinkle treatment is right for you depends on your personal concerns about wrinkles, your desired outcome (subtle softening vs. significant reduction), your budget and tolerance for downtime, and whether you prefer immediate or gradual results. Being in good health and having realistic expectations are also important. The most effective way to determine if treatment is suitable for you is to consult with a qualified practitioner who can assess your skin and discuss your individual needs and goals.

The cost of wrinkle treatments depend on your specific requirements. This includes the location of your wrinkles, how deep they are, and your desired results.

It also depends on the specific treatments used, and the experience of your clinician.

Most treatments for wrinkles cost between $700 and $1500 at legitimate cosmetic clinics.

Yes, treatments for wrinkles are often combined with other treatments to smooth nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and restore collagen. This achieves a more balanced facial rejuvenation.

Most individuals find the treatment quite tolerable. We use very fine needles or cannulas for precise placement, and topical numbing cream can be applied to enhance your comfort during the procedure. Any sensation is typically mild and brief.

The longevity of your wrinkle treatment results varies depending on the specific modalities used, and your metabolism.

Typically, treatments that relax facial muscles require maintenance every 3-4 months, while methods that restore volume and collagen can be repeated every 1-2 years.

Depending on your treatment plan, you’ll see the final results within the first few days to weeks of your wrinkle treatment.

Downtime is typically none. You may experience some mild swelling or redness in the treated area, but this usually resolves within a few days. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.

After wrinkle treatment, expect some temporary redness, swelling, and rarely bruising, which usually subside within a few days. It’s important to avoid touching the area, strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol initially. Results may be immediate or take up to two weeks depending on the treatment method.

Continue a gentle skincare routine with sun protection to aid healing and maintain your results.

When performed by a skilled and qualified medical professional, treating wrinkles is generally a low-risk procedure. While specific risks vary depending on the chosen method, most potential side effects are mild and temporary. The most common include brief redness, swelling, and tenderness, typically resolving within a few days. Rarer risks such as temporary eyelid drooping, infection, or skin injury are minimised by the precautions we take during every treatment to ensure your safety. The specific risks associated with your chosen treatment will be thoroughly discussed during your consultation.
