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 treatments work in various ways, including relaxing muscles, restoring volume, and stimulating collagen. 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.

There’s no one “right” age—it comes down to when you first notice lines that concern you, or when you value preventing lines enough to consider treatment. For preventative measures, we recommend beginning a quality skincare routine—including daily sun protection—in your late 20s to early 30s, even before significant wrinkles appear.

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.

Wrinkle treatment cost varies by the type of procedure, the areas treated, and the severity of your lines. During your personalised consultation, we’ll provide a clear quote based on your treatment plan, ensuring you understand all fees before you commit.

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.

Absolutely. Consistent sun protection, a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, regular hydration, and a quality skincare routine complement in‑clinic treatments and help prevent new wrinkles.

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.

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

Typically, treatments for wrinkles wear off over months to years.

Longevity depends on factors like treatment type & frequency, metabolism, and adherence to aftercare.

Many people see noticeable improvement after a single session. Depending on your goals and the type of treatment, you may opt for touch‑up appointments every 3–12 months to maintain results.

Most non‑invasive wrinkle treatments have minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness or swelling for 24–48 hours, but you can usually resume normal activities immediately.

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.
