Wrinkles are one of the most visible signs of ageing, and a natural part of getting older. As we age, the skin’s ability to regenerate and repair itself slows down, and as a result it loses elasticity and collagen. This causes the skin to become thinner and less able to retain its shape, leading to the formation of wrinkles. Several factors can contribute to wrinkles appearing, including sun damage, smoking, facial expressions, poor nutrition and dehydration. By protecting your skin from the sun, using skincare products, stopping smoking and maintaining a healthy diet, you can help to improve the overall health of your skin.
At Tracey Bell clinics, we have a range of treatments to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and give you a more youthful and rejuvenated look. Each has unique benefits and can be used alone or in combination for optimal results. Regular maintenance treatments are typically required to prolong your results.
Skin Boosters
Injectable treatments that boost the skin’s hydration and elasticity, skin boosters use hyaluronic acid to improve texture, tone and radiance. They stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, and are typically used to treat fine lines, wrinkles and mild skin sagging, and restore volume and firmness.
Anti-Wrinkle Treatment
This is typically used to treat dynamic wrinkles, those caused by repeated muscle movements such as frowning or squinting. It involves injections into the facial muscles, relaxing them and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It is a very popular aesthetic treatment, and can be used to treat wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows and around the eyes.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume to the skin and fill deep wrinkles and folds. These treatments use hyaluronic acid, plumping the skin and providing a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers can be used to treat deeper wrinkles, such as those around the mouth and nose.
Volume Replacement
As we age, we lose volume in our faces, which can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin. Injectable fillers, such as Sculptra, can be used to restore this volume and stimulate collagen production in the skin for added firmness over time. Volume replacement treatments are typically used to treat more advanced signs of ageing, such as deep wrinkles and significant sagging.
