Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Age and sun-related creasing and loss of skin firmness.

Medically reviewed by Dr Amara Patel, Consultant Dermatologist
Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Overview

Fine lines develop as collagen and elastin decline and repeated muscle movement creases the skin. Volume loss and skin laxity contribute to the overall appearance of ageing.

Common symptoms

  • Skin texture change

    Roughness, bumpiness or loss of smoothness.

Why it happens

Intrinsic ageing, ultraviolet damage, smoking, repetitive facial movement and reduced collagen synthesis.

Self-care that helps

Use daily SPF, a retinoid at night if tolerated, and prioritise sleep and hydration.

When to seek advice

Consult a specialist if you want a structured plan before starting injectable or energy-based treatments.
