Overview
Understanding what causes facial lines and wrinkles, and the treatments that can help
Lines and wrinkles form as the skin gradually loses collagen and elasticity over time. Facial fat pads shift, grooves deepen, and the overall texture of the skin changes. Genetics, sun exposure, lifestyle and diet all influence how early and how prominently these changes appear.
The severity ranges from fine surface lines to deeper furrows and folds. Because lines and wrinkles usually occur alongside other ageing changes, such as volume loss and skin laxity, the most effective approach tends to involve a combination of treatments tailored to the individual.
At Maison Restorative, your consultation will assess which treatments are right for you. Options range from medical-grade skincare and injectable treatments to energy-based skin resurfacing and, where appropriate, surgical procedures.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between fine lines and deep 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.
Can injectable treatments such as Botox and fillers be used together?
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.
How soon will I see results?
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.
Is there downtime involved?
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.
At what age should I consider treatment?
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.
What is the best treatment to get rid of wrinkles?
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.
How much do anti-wrinkle and wrinkle treatments cost?
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.
