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.

Profhilo vs Profhilo Structura - what is the difference? 👉

Both are injectable treatments containing hyaluronic acid. Both are produced by the same manufacturer. And both deliver beautiful, natural results. But they are not the same treatment, and understanding the difference is important when it comes to choosing the right one for your skin.

🫧 Profhilo
Profhilo is a skin booster. Its primary purpose is to deeply hydrate the skin, improve overall skin quality and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. It spreads through the tissue to treat a wide area, leaving the skin looking more radiant, plump and youthful. It is suitable for a broad range of patients and is particularly effective for anyone experiencing dullness, dehydration or a general loss of skin glow.

🫧 Profhilo Structura
Profhilo Structura is specifically designed to address skin laxity and loss of firmness. It contains a higher concentration of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, which works to remodel the deeper structural layers of the skin, restoring lift, firmness and definition in areas where the skin has begun to lose its architecture over time. It is particularly effective for the cheeks, jawline and neck.

Which one is right for you?
If your primary concern is skin quality, hydration and radiance, Profhilo is likely the right starting point. If you are noticing a loss of firmness, definition or lift, Profhilo Structura may be the more appropriate choice. For many patients, the two work beautifully together as part of a combined treatment plan.

July is UV Safety Awareness Month, and as a skin and laser clinic, there is genuinely nothing we feel more passionately about than protecting the skin you’re in.

UV radiation is the leading cause of skin cancer worldwide. UVA rays silently penetrate deep into the skin every single day - breaking down collagen, causing dark spots, wrinkles and long-term cellular damage - while UVB rays trigger the DNA mutations that lead to skin cancer. And they are both present even on overcast days in the UK.

The reality? Nearly 9 in 10 melanomas are preventable. That statistic is both sobering and empowering because it means the choices you make today genuinely matter.

Swipe through for everything you need to know about why UV protection is non-negotiable, what unprotected exposure is doing to your skin right now, and exactly how to protect yourself this summer and beyond...

SPF 50 every morning. A wide-brimmed hat. Shade between 10am and 4pm. UV-blocking sunglasses. Lightweight cover-up. These aren’t just suggestions, they’re the steps that protect your skin, your health and your future 🖤
