Wrinkled skin

Wrinkled skin reflects natural changes in skin structure over time. Led by Medical Director Dr Joney De Souza, our medical team focuses on understanding why wrinkles form before considering treatment.

What is wrinkled skin?

Wrinkled skin refers to deeper, more established lines and creases that form as skin structure changes. Wrinkles may appear in areas of repeated movement or in regions where skin has thinned and lost elasticity. Wrinkled skin differs from fine lines in depth and permanence, and often reflects longer-term changes in collagen and support.

Botox is commonly used to reduce wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles that cause repeated skin creasing. Wrinkles form over time as expressions such as frowning or squinting fold the skin in the same areas. Therefore, by limiting this muscle movement, Botox allows the skin to smooth out and prevents lines from deepening. As a result, the face looks softer, more rested, and refreshed while natural expression is maintained.

Why does skin become wrinkled?

Wrinkled skin develops due to multiple factors acting together.

These may include:

  • Gradual loss of collagen and elastin

  • Repeated facial movement over time

  • Sun exposure and environmental damage

  • Thinning and dehydration of the skin

  • Genetic influences

The pattern and severity of wrinkles vary between individuals.

Endolift can help improve wrinkles by tightening skin and stimulating collagen from within. Wrinkles develop as skin loses firmness and structural support over time. Therefore, by delivering targeted laser energy beneath the skin, Endolift encourages skin contraction and collagen renewal. As a result, the skin appears smoother, firmer, and more refreshed without the need for surgery.

How do we assess wrinkled skin?

Assessment focuses on whether wrinkles are primarily related to movement, skin quality, structural support or a combination of factors. Our medical team evaluates skin thickness, elasticity and facial dynamics.

This allows us to explain which approaches may help soften wrinkles and which changes are less responsive to non-surgical treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is one of the most commonly discussed treatments for wrinkled skin?

Anti-wrinkle injections are often discussed where wrinkles are primarily related to repeated muscle movement.

 

How can wrinkled skin be improved?

Improvement depends on the type and cause of wrinkles. Options discussed at our clinic may include anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, polynucleotide treatments, skin boosters and UltraClear laser resurfacing. The aim is gradual softening and improved skin quality.

Are wrinkles the same as fine lines?

No. Wrinkles are deeper and more established, while fine lines are typically shallower and may fluctuate.

Can wrinkled skin be completely reversed?

No. Treatments aim to soften wrinkles and support skin health rather than fully reverse ageing.

Do wrinkles worsen with age?

They often become more noticeable over time as collagen and elasticity decline.

Can skincare alone improve wrinkled skin?

Skincare can support skin health, but deeper wrinkles usually require in-clinic treatments for visible improvement.

Does everyone with wrinkled skin need treatment?

No. Many people choose not to treat wrinkles once they understand why they develop and how they may change.

📍Marylebone, London | 020 7043 0748 📱If you’ve been curious about anti-wrinkle injections but have questions, you’re not alone. Here are the three things we get asked most at Dr Joney De Souza 💬

“Will it look natural?”- This is always our priority. Anti-wrinkle injections are about softening lines and relaxing tension, while keeping your face expressive and authentically you. In the right hands, nobody should be able to tell, they’ll just think you look well-rested.

“Does it hurt?” - The needles used are ultra-fine, and most people are surprised by how quick and comfortable the experience is. 

“How long before I see results and how long do they last?” - Most clients start to notice the effects within 3–5 days, with full results visible at around 2 weeks. Results typically last 3–4 months, and with consistent treatment over time, many patients find they need less product to maintain their look.

Still have questions? Drop us a DM and we’ll be happy to answer them!

“Dr. Mattia made me feel very comfortable and informed through the entire experience. He was accommodating and very patient with my busy schedule, and his treatment was very thorough. He cares about ensuring the best outcomes. I did not feel like I had to advocate for myself because he was already advocating for me. This is very nice / unique! I’m sure the results will be incredible, but my experience with him already made this 10/10.” — Kailin

Kailin came in for UltraClear laser and PRF under-eye treatment — and this review is a perfect example of what we believe great aesthetic medicine looks like. It’s not just about the treatment. It’s about feeling heard, cared for and in safe hands from start to finish.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Kailin — we can’t wait for you to see your results. 🤍
