Wrinkles and Lines

Facial wrinkles and lines are common signs of ageing that develop as the skin gradually loses collagen, elasticity, and firmness. They can appear across the forehead, around the eyes and mouth, and other areas of the face, becoming deeper or more noticeable over time.

TYPICALLY OCCURS

With ageing, repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, and collagen loss.

TREATED BY

Facelift, brow lift, dermal peeling procedures and more…

Why it happens?

Facial wrinkles and lines develop as the skin gradually changes with age. Collagen, elastin, and natural hydration decrease over time, making the skin thinner, less elastic, and less able to return to a smooth position after movement. Repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, and squinting can gradually create lines that eventually remain visible even when the face is relaxed.

Age-related changes beneath the skin also play an important role. Loss and redistribution of facial fat, changes in bone structure, and reduced tissue support can contribute to deeper folds and creases. Sun exposure, genetics, smoking, environmental factors, and lifestyle habits may also influence how early wrinkles develop and how noticeable they become.

How far along is it?

Early

Fine lines appear during facial expressions, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and mouth, but are usually subtle or disappear when the face is relaxed.

Moderate

Lines become more noticeable and may remain visible at rest, with early wrinkles and folds developing across multiple areas of the face.

Advanced

Deeper, established wrinkles and facial folds remain clearly visible at rest, often accompanied by increased skin laxity, volume loss, and other signs of facial ageing.

It may be worth seeking professional advice when facial lines and wrinkles become persistent, deepen over time, or begin to affect your overall facial appearance. A consultation can help assess skin quality, volume loss, facial movement, and tissue laxity to determine suitable treatment options.

Quick Questions:

What causes wrinkles and fine lines on the face?

Facial wrinkles develop due to ageing, reduced collagen and elastin, repeated facial expressions, and changes in facial volume. Genetics, sun exposure, smoking, and lifestyle factors can also contribute.

At what age do facial wrinkles usually appear?

Fine lines may begin appearing in the late 20s or 30s, although this varies considerably depending on genetics, skin type, sun exposure, facial movement, and lifestyle.

Can facial wrinkles be permanently removed?

Wrinkles can often be significantly softened, but no treatment can permanently stop the natural ageing process. Results and longevity depend on the type of wrinkle, its severity, and the treatment used.

What is the best treatment for facial wrinkles?

The most suitable treatment depends on whether wrinkles are caused by facial movement, skin ageing, volume loss, or tissue laxity. Options may include injectables, skin resurfacing, fat transfer, brow lift, or facelift surgery.
