Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of skin ageing, influenced by factors such as sun exposure, genetics, repeated facial movement, and the gradual loss of collagen and elastin over time. Some lines only appear with expression (dynamic lines), while others remain visible at rest (static lines) as skin loses elasticity.
At Your Dermatologist, our approach starts with a thorough skin assessment by a specialist dermatologist, who will look at your skin health, the type and cause of your lines, and your overall goals before discussing what's appropriate for you.
Every person's skin ages differently, and not every approach suits every patient.
During your consultation, your dermatologist will:
Assess your skin and discuss the changes you've noticed
Explain the range of factors that contribute to fine lines and wrinkles
Talk through the options available to you, including their suitability, expected outcomes, limitations and risks
Answer your questions so you can make an informed decision
Some treatment options are prescription-only and can only be recommended and administered following a consultation with an appropriately qualified health practitioner. Treatment options will be discussed with you directly, based on your skin and your goals.
Common Areas of Concern
Fine lines and wrinkles can appear anywhere on the face, but some areas are more commonly raised by patients during consultations:
Forehead lines — horizontal lines across the forehead, often more noticeable when raising the eyebrows
Frown lines — vertical lines that form between the eyebrows, sometimes called glabellar lines
Crow's feet — fine lines that fan out from the outer corners of the eyes, often more visible when smiling or squinting
Everyone's skin and facial movement is different, so the pattern, depth and cause of lines in these areas can vary significantly from person to person. Your dermatologist will assess each area individually as part of your consultation to understand what's contributing to the appearance of these lines for you.
