Fine Lines & Wrinkles
A personalised approach, from assessment through to aftercare.
Fine lines and wrinkles are a common concern as skin changes over time. These changes can be caused by a combination of factors, including a decrease in collagen and elastin production, sun exposure, and repetitive facial movements.
At Burnside Cosmetic, a consultation for fine lines and wrinkles is a full skin health assessment, not just a discussion about products. We take the time to understand your skin, your history and your goals before discussing what medical aesthetic treatments may be appropriate. Every treatment plan is personalised to you, with follow up and aftercare built in as part of your care, not an afterthought.
We encourage you to book a consultation with Dr Chris Koulos or Nurse Claire Koulos to discuss your concerns and treatment options.

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process where the skin loses elasticity, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. This results in lines and folds forming on the face, particularly in the areas around the eyes and mouth.
-
Fine lines and wrinkles can appear due to a variety of factors, including age, genetics, sun exposure, smoking, and stress. Over time, the natural aging process causes a decrease in skin elasticity, leading to the formation of wrinkles.

While it's impossible to completely prevent fine lines and wrinkles from appearing, there are measures you can take to help minimise their appearance. This includes wearing sunscreen daily, avoiding smoking, maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and using suitable skincare products.
-
Common wrinkles associated with aging often appear around the mouth, eyes, and neck. These areas of the skin tend to become thinner, drier, and less elastic over time, making them more prone to the development of visible wrinkles. Common areas of concern include the forehead, crow's feet, frown lines, and smile lines.
-
Dynamic wrinkles: Caused by repeated facial muscle movements and commonly seen in areas prone to expression, such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
Static wrinkles: Present even when the face is at rest, these wrinkles are a result of various factors including collagen loss and dehydration, often appearing deeper and more pronounced in areas like the mouth and cheeks.
