Wrinkles Leeds
Causes & Treatment Options
Wrinkles are the most visible sign of skin ageing – and one of the most varied. Not all wrinkles are the same, and the most effective treatment depends on understanding what type you have and what is causing them.
What Causes Wrinkles?
Wrinkles develop through a combination of factors:
Repeated muscle movement
Expression lines such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet form over time through habitual facial movement.
Loss of collagen and elastin
Skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and less able to spring back from movement.
Volume loss
As the structural fat and bone beneath the skin diminishes with age, skin loses its support and folds form.
Sun damage
UV exposure accelerates collagen breakdown and contributes to both fine lines and deeper creasing.
Lifestyle factors
Smoking, dehydration, and poor sleep all contribute to accelerated skin ageing.
Treatments at Dr Sebastian Bejma Aesthetics
Anti-Wrinkle Injections (Botulinum Toxin)
The most effective treatment for dynamic wrinkles – lines caused by muscle movement. Botulinum toxin temporarily reduces muscle activity, allowing the skin to soften and smooth. Frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and lip lines all respond well.
Dermal Filler
For static wrinkles present at rest – particularly nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and perioral lines – filler restores volume and support to the tissue, softening the fold from beneath.
Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy that remodels the dermis and improves skin texture, fine lines, and overall skin quality. Can be combined with PRP, PRF, skin boosters, or peels for enhanced results.
Profhilo
Improves the overall quality and elasticity of the skin, making it more resilient and reducing the appearance of fine surface lines and crepiness. Radiofrequency microneedling that remodels the dermis, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of both fine lines and deeper wrinkles over time.
