Wrinkles

What are wrinkles

Wrinkles are a consequence of biological skin ageing. Wrinkle formation on the face and neck begins earlier or later from person to person, but in most cases visible changes appear from the age of 35 onwards. There is certainly no need to simply stand by and watch the skin age – even if the fabled fountain of youth does not yet exist.

How do they form?

Wrinkles become more pronounced from year to year due to the loss of elastic fibres and decreasing tissue tension. The layers of the skin increasingly lack connective tissue. Water, which is responsible for a fresh appearance of the skin, can be bound less effectively. Repeated contraction of the facial muscles leads to a permanent deepening of facial wrinkles, so that they remain even when the muscles are relaxed.

What can we do about them?

First, we take a very close look at the “problem areas” and discuss the treatment options with you, depending on your wishes and the severity and location of the wrinkles. In any case, we always recommend an approach that emphasises your natural beauty and does not lead to overcorrection, which would cause an unnatural and artificial appearance.

Available options are

• Mesotherapy

• Botulinum treatment

• Filler injections (e.g. hyaluronic acid)

• Laser treatments

• Chemical peels
