Treated with Laser resurfacing, microneedling with exosomes, polynucleotides and neuromodulators
Lines on the forehead, around the eyes and between the brows are usually the first signs of ageing people notice. The best treatment depends on whether a line only shows when you move, or stays when your face is at rest.
Dynamic lines appear with expression, such as crow's feet when you smile or frown lines when you concentrate. Over years, repeated movement and loss of collagen turn these into static lines that are visible at rest. Fine crepey lines across the cheeks and under the eyes come mostly from sun damage and thinning skin.
Static lines and fine crepey texture respond best to laser resurfacing. Fractional erbium or CO2 laser removes damaged surface skin and stimulates new collagen, which softens etched-in lines and firms the skin. Dr Humphries adjusts the depth to your skin and the downtime you can manage.
Microneedling with exosomes and polynucleotides improve skin thickness and quality, and suit people who want gradual change with less downtime.
For lines driven mainly by expression, Dr Humphries will talk you through the full range of options at consultation.
Skin looks smoother once it has healed from laser, about a week. Collagen keeps building for three to six months afterwards.
Yes, though deep lines usually need a combination of treatments over several months. Dr Humphries will plan this with you.
