Wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of ageing. They often begin as subtle creases that appear during facial expression and gradually become more visible when the face is at rest. These changes are commonly caused by repetitive facial movement, thinning skin, sun exposure, and the gradual breakdown of collagen and elastin.
At Me Clinic, we provide consultations to explore non-surgical options aimed at softening the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, helping you maintain a refreshed and confident look while preserving natural expression.
Surgical Warning: Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

What Causes Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
Wrinkles form over time due to a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors:
- Facial expressions
Repeated movements like frowning, squinting, or smiling crease the skin over time. - Collagen loss
After your 20s, collagen production slows, causing reduced skin firmness and elasticity. - Sun damage (UV exposure)
Breaks down collagen fibres, accelerating the development of fine lines. - Ageing and genetics
Influence how and where wrinkles develop. - Lifestyle factors
Smoking, stress, dehydration, and poor skincare all contribute to early skin ageing.
Common Areas Treated by Wrinkle Reduction
Wrinkle reduction treatments are commonly considered for:
- Forehead lines – horizontal lines formed by raising the brows
- Frown lines – vertical lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet – creases that form at the corners of the eyes
- Lip lines – fine lines that develop around the upper lip
- Chin lines or dimpling – caused by muscle tension or skin thinning
- Smile lines – deeper folds around the mouth caused by repeated expression

+ What causes fine lines and wrinkles to appear?
Fine lines and wrinkles typically develop from repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, ageing, and a gradual loss of collagen and skin elasticity. Lifestyle factors like smoking or dehydration can accelerate their appearance.
Which areas are commonly affected by wrinkles?
Wrinkles often form in high-movement areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, around the eyes (crow’s feet), around the mouth (lip lines), and on the chin.
Can wrinkle reduction treatments make my face look unnatural?
When tailored to your facial anatomy and performed by qualified practitioners, wrinkle reduction treatments aim to enhance your appearance subtly, without freezing expression or creating an unnatural look.
Is there any downtime after wrinkle reduction treatment?
Downtime is typically minimal. Most people return to their usual activities the same day. Some may experience temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the treated areas, which usually resolves quickly.
How many wrinkle reduction sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your goals, skin condition, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients see benefits after one session, while others may require a series of treatments for optimal results.
