What are wrinkles and lines?
As time passes, our skin naturally changes. One of the most common signs of these changes is the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They are part of the normal ageing process, influenced by factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and environmental exposure.
While wrinkles and lines are a natural reflection of life's journey, many people look for ways to support their skin as it matures. A consistent skincare routine, sun protection, healthy nutrition, and professional treatments can all play a role in helping the skin look and feel its best.
Treatment areas
Frown lines — When we concentrate, worry, or show displeasure, the muscles between our eyebrows naturally contract. With repeated movement over time, these expressions can contribute to the appearance of lines in this area.
Forehead lines — Lifting the eyebrows causes horizontal creases to appear across the forehead. With age and repeated expressions, these lines may become more noticeable, even at rest.
Crow's feet — Often associated with smiling, laughing, or squinting, these lines appear at the outer corners of the eyes. Over time, they can develop into fine lines that remain visible beyond the expression itself.
What is volume and definition?
Our skin's appearance is influenced by many factors, including its structure, hydration, and natural elasticity. When we talk about skin volume, we're describing the look of fullness and support beneath the skin's surface, which contributes to a healthy and balanced facial profile.
Definition refers to the way natural contours are highlighted — such as the outline of the jawline, cheekbones, or other areas that give the face its unique shape. Good definition allows light to reflect in a way that enhances facial harmony and balance.
Areas commonly discussed include cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, nasolabial folds, tear troughs, marionette lines, and temples.
