What you might notice
- Lines visible at rest as well as on movement
- Crepey texture around the eyes
- Make-up settling into lines through the day
Why it happens
Repeated facial movement, gradual collagen loss from the mid-twenties onwards, sun exposure and dehydration all contribute. Smoking and disturbed sleep accelerate the process.
How it's approached at the clinic
- 01
Assess which lines are movement-related and which are texture-related
- 02
Improve skin quality first with facials, LED or a peel where appropriate
- 03
Consider microneedling or injectable treatment where it genuinely suits you
- 04
Set a home-care routine, with daily SPF as the non-negotiable step
What to expect, honestly
Movement lines can be softened; static lines improve gradually with collagen-building treatment and consistent home care. Nobody can remove them permanently, and treatment is planned to keep your expression intact.
Questions about fine lines & expression lines
What is the best treatment for fine lines?
There is no single best treatment. Lines caused by movement respond to anti-wrinkle injections; lines caused by texture and collagen loss respond better to microneedling, peels and consistent home care. Which applies to you is decided at consultation.
