How To Get Rid of Wrinkles on the Face

As we age, it’s common to notice fine lines and creases, known as wrinkles, forming on our skin. While they’re a natural part of ageing, there are treatments which provide highly effective ways to reduce their appearance and restore a smoother, more youthful look. At Eterno Skin Clinic, we offer treatments to tackle facial wrinkles, using advanced techniques to rejuvenate and refresh your skin. Here, we’ll explore what leads to wrinkles and the treatments available for visibly smoother and firmer skin.

Why Do Wrinkles Appear?

Wrinkles primarily result from a combination of factors:

Natural Ageing: As we age, skin loses elasticity and the production of collagen and elastin slows down, making it more susceptible to creases.

Sun Exposure: UV rays break down collagen, accelerating the ageing process and creating deeper lines and wrinkles.

Lifestyle Choices: Habits like smoking, repetitive facial expressions, and poor hydration can contribute to wrinkles.

Genetics: Our genetic makeup also plays a role, influencing how quickly we show signs of ageing.

Treatments for Reducing Wrinkles at Eterno Clinic

We offer a range of personalised treatments to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. These include:

PRP Microneedling

PRP Microneedling combines the power of microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy to effectively target wrinkles and improve skin rejuvenation. In this treatment, a device equipped with tiny needles creates precise micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a natural healing response. PRP, derived from the patient’s blood, is then applied to accelerate collagen production and tissue repair. This dual-action method improves skin texture, firmness, elasticity and visibly reduces wrinkles and promotes a youthful glow.

RF Microneedling

RF Microneedling fuses microneedling with radiofrequency energy to address wrinkles while tightening and firming the skin. As the device’s fine needles create controlled micro-injuries, they stimulate collagen and elastin production. Meanwhile, radiofrequency energy heats the deeper skin layers, boosting collagen production and tightening the skin. This combined approach improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, and smooths fine lines, offering a long-lasting effect with minimal recovery time. RF Microneedling is versatile for various areas on the face and body.

Dermapen Microneedling

Dermapen Microneedling is a minimally invasive option using fine needles to create micro-injuries, activating the skin’s repair mechanisms and collagen synthesis. Targeting fine lines and wrinkles, it improves skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, resulting in a smoother, more youthful look. Suitable for all skin types.

SmartMeso Mesotherapy

SmartMeso Mesotherapy offers a needle-free alternative that blends traditional mesotherapy with advanced electroporation technology, improving hydration by 84% compared to surface injections. This approach allows deeper absorption of hyaluronic acid and other nutrients, activating dormant fibroblasts and stimulating collagen and elastin production. The treatment plumps and revitalises the skin, strengthening the extracellular matrix (ECM) over time, which improves skin texture and minimises wrinkles.

DermaQuest Mixology Peels

DermaQuest Mixology Peels are a targeted approach for fine lines and wrinkles. By combining resurfacing agents and chemical peel solutions, this treatment penetrates the skin’s upper layers, stimulating collagen production and rejuvenating the skin’s texture for a refreshed, more youthful appearance.

At-Home Care to Support Your Anti-Wrinkle Treatments

While treatments can offer significant improvements, following a skincare routine at home helps prolong results and maintain a youthful look:

Daily Sunscreen: Protecting your skin from UV damage is essential to prevent new wrinkles and protect treated areas. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.

Moisturising: Hydration is key to keeping the skin plump and minimising the appearance of fine lines. Look for moisturisers with hyaluronic acid, ceramides and antioxidants.

Antioxidant-Rich Foods: Eating foods high in antioxidants, like berries, leafy greens, and nuts, can combat free radical damage that accelerates ageing.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Incorporate foods rich in omega-3s, like salmon, chia seeds, and walnuts. These healthy fats support skin elasticity, helping to keep skin firm and youthful.

Quit Smoking: Smoking accelerates skin ageing and reduces blood flow to the skin, leading to wrinkles and a dull complexion. If you smoke, quitting is one of the best actions for your skin and overall health.

Limit Alcohol: Alcohol dehydrates the skin, making wrinkles more visible. Moderation can help maintain skin’s natural hydration.

Drink Water: Staying well-hydrated keeps skin supple and minimises wrinkles. Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily.

Avoid Squinting: Avoiding squinting can indeed help minimise the development of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, especially crow’s feet.

Prioritise Sleep: Not only does getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep allow your body to repair skin cells, but maintaining a consistent sleep schedule helps your body regulate cortisol levels, which in turn reduces collagen breakdown.

Preventing and reducing wrinkles is an ongoing process. A consistent routine focused on protection, hydration, and skin health can yield the best results over time. Avoiding products with harsh chemicals and prioritising gentle care will support smoother, more resilient skin.
