Lines and Wrinkles

the Stockbridge clinic

What are lines & wrinkles?

Lines & wrinkles are a common concern that signals the natural aging process. As we age, changes in the architecture of all layers of the face lead to the formation of lines & wrinkles.

Often the first area people notice these are the fine lines around the eyes and mouth, as well as lines between the eyes “frown lines” and on the forehead. These fine lines develop due to age-related changes within the skin (loss of the structural proteins collagen & elastin) and repeated “creasing” of the skin due to facial expression.

With time, these lines can deepen to be visible at rest. Deeper lines and wrinkles may form elsewhere on the face - this occurs due to further age-related changes within the skin but also loss of supporting fat, muscle and bone within the face.

What treatments help lines & wrinkles?

Treatments to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles include the use of wrinkle-relaxing injections (“Botox”) to soften the contraction of muscles, treatments to stimulate the production of new collagen & elastin within the skin (Secret RF, micro needling, collagen-stimulation injectables) and sometimes the use of carefully placed dermal fillers for volume replacement and structural support.

Treatment of lines & wrinkles is often a multi-factorial process. An expert individualised treatment plan is crucial to ensure any treatment results are natural, rejuvenating and undetectable.

Collagen Biostimulators

Collagen-stimulating fillers, like Radiesse, are designed to improve skin volume and texture by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel, which are injected into the skin to provide immediate volume. Over time, the body absorbs the filler’s gel component, leaving behind a scaffold that encourages collagen growth. This helps restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and improve skin elasticity.

Medical Grade Skincare

Obagi Medical Skin Care is a line of dermatologist-developed skincare products designed to address various skin concerns, including aging, pigmentation, acne, and sun damage. The brand offers a range of clinically proven products containing prescription-strength ingredients like tretinoin, hydroquinone, and vitamin C, aimed at improving skin health and appearance. Obagi products work by promoting cell turnover, enhancing skin hydration, and improving elasticity, helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and discolouration.

Secret RF Microneedling

Secret RF is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. During the procedure, fine needles create tiny channels in the skin, while RF energy is delivered to deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. This treatment effectively improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation, and enhances overall skin tone and elasticity. It’s minimally invasive with little downtime and offers long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Anti-wrinkle Injections

Botox injections are a popular cosmetic treatment that temporarily relaxes facial muscles by blocking nerve signals. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and between the eyebrows. Botox is derived from botulinum toxin, which, when used in small doses, is safe and effective. Advanced botox techniques include excessive sweating treatment, gummy smile correction, jaw line slimming and neck rejuvenation.
