Wrinkles
Wrinkles are a visible sign of skin ageing caused by a combination of natural collagen loss, repetitive facial movements, and environmental factors such as UV exposure. They can be dynamic (formed by repeated muscle movement, such as frown lines or crow’s feet) or static (visible even at rest, often from volume loss or skin laxity). Over time, skin becomes thinner and less elastic, making these lines more prominent. Modern non-surgical treatments can target wrinkles by relaxing underlying muscles, stimulating collagen production, restoring volume, and improving skin texture.
Recommended treatments
Muscle Relaxants
Muscle relaxant injections work by temporarily reducing the activity of specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. By limiting repetitive movement, they help smooth existing lines and prevent new ones from forming. Results are typically visible within 3–7 days, with optimal effects at 2 weeks, and last around 3–4 months. This approach is most effective for areas such as the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
Lutronic eCO₂ Laser
Fractional CO₂ laser is considered one of the gold-standard treatments for deep static wrinkles and skin texture improvement. The Lutronic eCO₂ laser delivers controlled micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating a natural healing response that produces new collagen and elastin. This results in smoother, tighter skin and a reduction in fine lines and deeper creases. Recovery involves a few days of redness and flaking, with progressive results developing over several months.
Rejuran
Rejuran is a polynucleotide-based injectable that works by improving skin quality from within. It encourages cellular repair and collagen production, leading to smoother, more elastic skin. It is particularly suited for fine static lines, especially in delicate areas such as under the eyes, around the mouth, or on the neck. Results develop gradually over 4–6 weeks, with a series of treatments often recommended.
Short PDO Threads
Short PDO threads are fine, absorbable sutures inserted into the skin to provide a subtle lift and stimulate collagen production. They are effective for softening fine lines, particularly in areas where skin laxity is contributing to wrinkle formation. In areas that crease with movement, such as around the mouth they can reduce creasing by providing more strength to the skin. Over time, the threads dissolve while leaving behind a collagen scaffold for long-lasting improvement in skin firmness and texture.
IUltraformer MPT HIFU
Ultraformer MPT HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) uses precise ultrasound energy to target the deep dermis and SMAS (superficial muscular aponeurotic system) layers. By stimulating collagen contraction and regeneration, it provides a lifting and tightening effect, reducing the appearance of wrinkles caused by sagging skin. MPT technology offers enhanced comfort, precision, and effectiveness compared to earlier generations of HIFU devices.
