Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines are shallow surface creases, often caused by dryness or early collagen loss. Deep wrinkles are more pronounced furrows that form over time as collagen, fat and elastin diminish and repeated muscle movement scores creases into the skin.

Yes. Anti-wrinkle injections (Botox) relax the muscles that cause dynamic lines, while dermal fillers add volume to soften deeper static lines and folds. Many patients benefit from a combination of both, planned in a single consultation.

This depends on the treatment. Anti-wrinkle injections typically take effect within two weeks; dermal fillers produce an immediate improvement. Skin resurfacing and medical-grade skincare show gradual progress over several weeks as collagen remodels.

Most non-surgical treatments have very little downtime. Injectables may cause mild redness or slight swelling for a day or two. Laser resurfacing and more intensive skin treatments may involve a short recovery period, which your practitioner will discuss with you beforehand.

There is no fixed rule. Some patients seek preventative treatment in their late twenties or thirties; others come later when lines have become more established. The best time is whenever the change is bothering you and you would like professional guidance on your options.

There is no single answer, because different lines respond to different treatments. Anti-wrinkle injections soften dynamic lines caused by muscle movement, dermal fillers smooth deeper static lines and folds, and skin resurfacing improves surface texture and fine lines. Most patients do best with a tailored combination, planned at consultation.

Pricing depends on the treatments and number of areas agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
