What is Wrinkles?

Wrinkles are lines and creases that form in the skin as part of the natural ageing process. They occur when the skin loses collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid — the building blocks that keep skin firm, elastic and hydrated. While ageing is inevitable, modern treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Causes & Symptoms of Wrinkles

Causes

• 1. Natural decline in collagen and elastin production
• 2. UV damage (photoageing) — the #1 external cause
• 3. Repetitive facial expressions (dynamic wrinkles)
• 4. Loss of subcutaneous fat volume
• 5. Smoking and air pollution
• 6. Dehydration and poor skincare habits
• 7. Genetic predisposition
• 8. Sleep position and gravity effects

Symptoms

• Fine lines around eyes (crow's feet)
• Forehead lines (horizontal lines)
• Frown lines (vertical lines between eyebrows)
• Nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines)
• Marionette lines (mouth to chin)
• Neck wrinkles and horizontal neck lines
• Loss of skin firmness and elasticity
• Crepey skin texture on hands and décolleté

Frequently Asked Questions about Wrinkles

Find answers to the most common questions about wrinkles. Have another question? Feel free to contact us.

At what age should I start anti-ageing treatments?

Prevention is key. SPF from age 18, retinol from mid-20s, and professional treatments from when you first notice changes — typically late 20s to early 30s.

Which treatment is best for wrinkles?

It depends on wrinkle type. Dynamic wrinkles (movement lines) respond best to Botox. Static wrinkles (always visible) benefit from fillers, HIFU or Morpheus8.

Are results permanent?

Most treatments require maintenance. Botox lasts 3-6 months, fillers 6-18 months. HIFU and Morpheus8 results last 1-2 years.
