Fine lines come from expression (muscle-relaxing consultation), volume loss (filler), texture (microneedling, peels, laser), or skin quality (skin boosters). Different problem types respond to different modalities.
Fine lines and wrinkles: matched to the type of line
Types of wrinkles
- Expression lines that appear when you move, such as frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet: anti-wrinkle treatment (from £169).
- Lines at rest from volume loss, such as smile lines: dermal filler (from £350), often with anti-wrinkle treatment.
- Fine, crepey texture around the eyes and mouth: Profhilo, skin boosters, microneedling, peels or laser resurfacing.
What is the best anti-wrinkle treatment in the UK?
The best treatment is the one matched to your lines, and most people have a mix. We will suggest the simplest plan that will work, and we aim for natural results rather than a frozen look. Lines at the side of the nose when you scrunch, known as bunny lines, are assessed in the same way.
Prevention
Daily SPF, not smoking, good sleep and a retinoid-based skincare routine all slow wrinkle formation. If persistent facial redness is also a concern, our page on rosacea explains how it is assessed.
