Lines & Wrinkles

Lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process. As we grow older, our skin becomes less elastic and loses its ability to bounce back. Over time, this leads to the formation of lines and wrinkles.

Types of Lines & Wrinkles


  1. Dynamic Wrinkles: These wrinkles appear as a result of facial movements, such as frowning or squinting. They are most commonly found on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
  2. Static Wrinkles: Static wrinkles are visible even when the face is at rest. They are caused by a combination of factors including age, genetics, sun damage, and lifestyle choices. Common areas for static wrinkles include the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and around the mouth. It is common for Dynamic Lines to eventually become Static over time.
  3. Fine Lines: Fine lines are the earliest signs of ageing. They are usually shallow and appear as small, thin lines on the skin's surface. Fine lines can occur anywhere on the face but are often seen around the eyes and mouth.

  • What are the main causes of lines and wrinkles?

    Lines and wrinkles are primarily caused by a combination of factors including age, sun exposure, repetitive facial movements, smoking, and genetics. 


    Lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process, but with proper care and preventive measures, their appearance can be minimised. By following a good skincare routine, protecting your skin from sun damage, and making healthy lifestyle choices, you can age gracefully and maintain a youthful appearance for longer. Remember, it's never too early or too late to start taking care of your skin and preventing future wrinkles.


  • What role does genetics play in the development of lines and wrinkles?

    Genetics can influence the timing and extent of lines and wrinkles. Some people may be genetically predisposed to developing them earlier in life, while others may have genes that offer more protection against them.

  • Can using moisturisers help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles?

    Yes, keeping the skin well-hydrated with the use of moisturisers can help improve its elasticity and minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles. We recommend looking for moisturisers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.

  • Can lines and wrinkles be prevented?

    While lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process, there are steps you can take to slow down their formation. This includes wearing sunscreen, quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and using anti-ageing skincare products.

    We offer consultations for the treatment of lines and wrinkles.
