Wrinkles are lines, folds and creases that develop in the skin as part of the natural ageing process. Their development can be influenced by a number of factors, including age, genetics, repeated facial movement, skin type and cumulative sun exposure.
Wrinkles may be described as dynamic or static. Dynamic wrinkles are most noticeable during facial movement, while static wrinkles remain visible when the facial muscles are at rest.
Changes in skin texture, elasticity and volume can also contribute to their appearance.
Different types of wrinkles respond to different treatments, so the location, depth and underlying cause of the wrinkles need to be considered when developing a treatment plan.
Depending on the individual concern, treatment options may include skin rejuvenation and laser resurfacing treatments designed to improve skin texture and the appearance of fine lines.
Treatment recommendations are made following assessment of the skin and discussion of the desired outcome, potential benefits and risks.
Wrinkles are a normal part of ageing and do not require medical treatment. Treatment is an individual choice where their appearance is of cosmetic concern.
A consultation provides an opportunity to discuss the areas you would like to address and determine which treatment options may be appropriate for your skin.
