Wrinkles

What are Wrinkles?

Wrinkles are creases, lines, or folds that appear on the skin’s surface over time. They are a natural part of the ageing process and commonly occur as the skin loses its elasticity and firmness. Wrinkles can appear on various parts of the body but are most noticeable on the face, neck, hands and forearms

Causes of Wrinkles

Ageing: As we age, the skin produces less collagen and elastin, leading to decreased skin elasticity

Sun Exposure: UV radiation from the sun accelerates skin ageing by breaking down collagen and elastin fibres, resulting in premature wrinkles.

Smoking: Smoking reduces blood flow to the skin and damages collagen and elastin, contributing to the development of wrinkles.

Facial Expressions: Repetitive facial movements, such as smiling, squinting, or furrowing the brow, can lead to wrinkles appearing over time.

Types of Wrinkles

Fine lines are shallow, superficial wrinkles that typically appear on areas of the face prone to repetitive facial expressions, such as around the eyes (crow’s feet) and mouth.

Static wrinkles are deeper wrinkles that are visible at rest and result from a loss of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles that form as a result of repetitive facial movements and expressions, such as laugh lines or forehead wrinkles.

Treatments for Wrinkles

PRP Microneedling is treatment that combines microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to target wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin. During the procedure, a device with fine needles creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, prompting the body’s natural healing response. The treatment helps the skin to stimulate collagen production and tissue repair. This dual-action approach helps improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, resulting in a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and a more youthful complexion.

RF (Radiofrequency) Microneedling is a treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target wrinkles and tighten the skin. During the procedure, the device’s fine needles create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Simultaneously, radiofrequency energy is delivered deep into the dermis, generating heat and further stimulating collagen production. This dual-action approach promotes skin tightening and improves skin texture, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. RF Microneedling is suitable for treating various areas of the face and body, providing long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

Dermapen Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the skin’s natural healing process and collagen production. By targeting wrinkles and fine lines, Dermapen Microneedling helps improve skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, resulting in a smoother and more youthful complexion. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be customised to address specific concerns, making it an effective option for reducing the signs of ageing and achieving overall skin rejuvenation.

SmartMeso Mesotherapy is a needle-free treatment that combines traditional Mesotherapy with electroporation technology, providing 84% more hydration compared to surface injections. This unique approach permeates the skin’s surface, allowing for deeper absorption of essential ingredients such as hyaluronic acid (H.A). By stimulating dormant fibroblasts and promoting collagen and elastin production, SmartMeso Mesotherapy instantly plumps the skin, giving it a rejuvenated appearance. Over time, continued treatment strengthens the extra cellular matrix (ECM), leading to further improvement in skin texture and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

DermaQuest Mixology Peels are perfect for targeting fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment works by combining active resurfacer and chemical peel solutions in a carefully administered protocol, penetrating the top layer of skin to help increase collagen production and rejuvenate the skin.
