Wrinkle Treatment

One of the great conflicts of our times is between looking tanned and protecting the skin from the ageing effect generated by the sun. Even in the absence of sun exposure though, time and worries draw lines on our faces. They can be lines that appear only during movements (dynamic lines) and some that are present at rest (static lines). Their management can be approached in customised way for best effects.

Your consultation will aim to determine your skin type as well as as the ideal overall program for improvement. Our practice offers the option of using a number of injectable anti-wrinkle and Filler treatments combined or in isolation. For instance, for management of dynamic lines, such as smile or frown lines, injectable anti-wrinkle treatments are commonly used to soften muscle contraction and with it the appearance of one’s face. For deeper lines, that are present all the time fillers can be used. New avenues in in the erasing the marks of time have been opened by the use FAT TRANSFER, whereby fat is harvested in a sterile way from one part of the body (eg tummy) and placed just beneath the skin in areas of lines and wrinkles.

This is a technique which is becoming more popular as the patients own tissue is used and avoids an “off the shelf” solution. I have many patients who have benefited from FAT TRANSFER alone or in combination with other procedures such as Facelift, Eyebag correction, breast surgery and general ageing effects of the skin.

In your consultation, I will take time to assess your requirements and suggest the best way to achieve these aims using the latest available techniques. It may require a combination of techniques, injectable anti-wrinkle treatments, Filler or Fat Transfer, to give the best and longest lasting results. Any procedures can be carried out here at the practice or in combination with more extensive facial cosmetic procedures under general anaesthesia.
