What causes fine lines?
Genetics - our genetics will determine both the timing and location of fine line development
Environmental stressors - increased oxidative stress breaks down collagen, speeding up the ageing process
Sleep position - regularly sleeping on your side or stomach can lead to ‘sleep lines’ to form, especially on the cheeks and around the eyes. This may also cause asymmetry in the development of fine lines or the effectiveness of your treatment
Lack of sleep - impairs skin repair and regeneration
Dehydration - reduces elasticity and the plumpness of our skin
Lifestyle - factors like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and poor nutrition can all weaken the skin barrier
Repetitive facial movements - gradually deepen lines into the Skin
UV exposure - breaks down collagen and elastin with each exposure
Ageing - naturally our collagen and hyaluronic acid decline over time
We offer a range of treatments to help minimise the appearance of fine lines, which we’re happy to discuss with you during a complimentary consultation. That said, the most effective approach starts with education and prevention - focusing on the lifestyle factors you can influence to support the long-term health of your skin 🤍
