Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are a common concern for many individuals as they age. These visible signs of aging can be caused by a combination of factors, including a decrease in collagen and elastin production, exposure to sun damage, and repetitive facial movements. While these changes are a natural part of the aging process, they can still affect one's self-confidence and appearance.

At Burnside Cosmetic, we have a variety of medical aesthetic treatments available to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We encourage you to book a consultation with our medical team 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 preventive measures you can take to minimise their appearance. This includes wearing sunscreen daily, avoiding smoking, maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and using high-quality 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.
