Understanding your skin

Different lines need different approaches

Some lines appear when you smile or frown. Others remain when your face is relaxed. You may also notice drier-looking skin, uneven texture or a loss of fullness. We assess your skin and discuss the result you would like.

01 / Lines with movement

Lines when you smile or frown?

We assess the lines that appear with facial movement and discuss a suitable, natural-looking plan.

Start here · medical assessment

Facial line consultation

We look at expression lines and discuss whether a medical treatment is appropriate for you.

What to expect: No recovery from the consultation. If treatment is suitable, we explain the procedure, possible bruising and maintenance before you decide.

These treatments aim to improve the skin surface and support gradual skin remodelling.

Gentle laser option

ClearLift laser

A non-ablative laser option for early fine lines, uneven tone and overall skin appearance.

What to expect: Warmth or light snapping. Often little visible recovery, though temporary redness is possible. A course may be advised.

04 / Facial support

Deeper lines or less fullness?

If a line relates to changes in facial support, an injectable treatment may be more relevant than surface skin treatment.

Selected lines and volume

Dermal fillers

Can add support or restore volume in carefully chosen areas.

What to expect: Brief injection sensation. Swelling, tenderness or bruising may be visible for several days. Plan and review are personalised.

Selected changes in support

Sculptra

May be considered when a change in facial support or volume contributes to an older-looking appearance.

What to expect: Injection appointment with possible tenderness, swelling or bruising. Results and session plan depend on your assessment.

Selected changes in support

Radiesse

A separate injectable option to discuss where facial support and skin quality are concerns.

What to expect: Injection appointment with possible tenderness, swelling or bruising. Your clinician will outline the plan.

Explore Radiesse ↗

A treatment for movement lines will not address every fine surface line; a skin treatment will not replace lost volume. We may recommend one treatment or a staged combination.

Helpful answers

Frequently asked questions

Will treatment hurt?

It depends on the option. Laser may feel warm, microneedling may involve numbing cream, and injectables involve brief needle or cannula discomfort.

How much recovery time will I need?

ClearLift often has little visible recovery. Microneedling may leave redness for a few days. Injections can cause swelling or bruising; some resurfacing plans have more downtime.

How many sessions will I need?

Some options are planned as a course, while others need review or maintenance. We will outline the plan before you start.

Will I still look like myself?

Tell us how subtle you would like the result. We will discuss what each option can realistically achieve for your features.

Can one treatment address every line?

Usually not. Lines caused by movement, texture and loss of support may need different approaches.
