Expression Lines / Wrinkles
Expression lines, or wrinkles, are formed by repetitive facial expressions and the movement of our facial muscles. There are two types of wrinkles: dynamic and static wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles occur naturally as a result of us showing our emotions: we smile, laugh, blink, raise our eyebrows and frown, and while expressing our emotions, these lines become more obvious.
As we age, the collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid in our skin decreases, reducing its elasticity and structure. Eventually, some of those dynamic wrinkles transform into static wrinkles, which are permanent lines on the face that form due to the inadequate repair of elastin and collagen fibers. They can appear in any area of repeated facial expression (such as frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, bunny lines, gummy smiles and lines around the mouth) or independently in any part of the face. The severity of the lines and wrinkles is compounded by skin laxity, aging, your genetic predisposition, lifestyle choices and sun exposure.

Treatment
Various treatment options are available to improve fine lines and wrinkles and our approach often employs a combination of treatment techniques to achieve natural, elegant results. Wrinkle Relaxing Injections (Botulinum Toxin) are used to soften expression lines and prevent the muscles from contracting too deeply which will otherwise eventually lead to deeply etched permanent lines. We encourage this treatment for earlier signs of aging and prefer a ‘soft’ approach. Deeper existing lines that remain despite wrinkle relaxing injections may be treated with Dermal Fillers which are able to plump the skin. Other treatment methods that improve skin quality and collagen in the skin include PRP Vampire Facial, Skin Boosters, Chemical Peels and Medical Microneedling.

I have been getting laser hair removal treatments from Christelle and have been seeing amazing results! She is very professional and great at what she does. Quick and easy procedure that’s practically pain-free.
I have also gotten Botox before from Dr Leon Ehlers for my gummy smile which showed amazing results and I was super happy with it!
