Fine lines and wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing, but they don’t all develop for the same reason. Understanding what causes your wrinkles is the first step in choosing the most appropriate treatment. 

At Nurose Aesthetics, we believe that no two faces are the same. During your consultation, we assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, muscle movement and treatment goals before recommending a personalised plan.

Understanding Different Types of Wrinkles

Wrinkles generally fall into two main categories:

Dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles.

Many people have a combination of both, which is why a professional assessment is so important.

Dynamic Wrinkles

Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repeated facial expressions and muscle movement over time. They are often most noticeable when smiling, frowning or raising your eyebrows, and can gradually become visible even when your face is at rest.

Common areas include: 

  • Forehead lines 
  • Frown lines between the eyebrows 
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes 
  • Bunny lines across the nose 
  • Chin dimpling 
  • Downturned corners of the mouth 
  • Gummy smile 
  • Neck bands 

These concerns may be suitable for treatments that temporarily relax selected facial muscles, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother while maintaining natural facial expression. The suitability of these treatments varies from person to person and is determined during a consultation. 

Due to Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) advertising regulations, registered health practitioners are unable to advertise prescription-only medicines, brand names or promote their use online. This means you won’t find references to specific products on our website. If you would like to explore whether muscle-relaxing treatments may be appropriate for you, we recommend booking a 1hour “Consultation” or selecting a 30minute “Wrinkle Reduction” when making your appointment. During your consultation, your practitioner can discuss suitable options, expected outcomes and whether this treatment is appropriate for your individual concerns.

Static Wrinkles 

Static wrinkles are present even when your face is completely relaxed. They develop as collagen, elastin and skin hydration naturally decline with age, combined with factors such as sun exposure, genetics and lifestyle.

Examples include: 

  • Fine lines around the mouth (often called lipstick or smoker’s lines) 
  • Smile lines and accordion lines through the cheeks 
  • Fine lines beneath the eyes 
  • Lines caused by reduced skin quality and collagen loss 
  • Crepey skin texture 

These concerns often require a different approach, as relaxing muscle movement alone may not adequately address the underlying cause. 

Depending on your skin assessment, treatment options may focus on improving skin quality, stimulating collagen production, resurfacing the skin or combining several modalities to achieve the most natural and effective result. Every treatment plan is tailored to your skin, anatomy and goals..

 

Which Treatment Is Right for Me?

Many people aren’t sure which type of wrinkle they have and that’s completely normal. 

Rather than trying to choose a treatment yourself, we recommend booking a consultation where we can assess your concerns, explain what is causing them and develop a personalised treatment plan based on your individual needs. 

Our goal is never to recommend unnecessary treatments, but to provide honest, evidence-based advice that helps you achieve natural, refreshed results while maintaining the unique features that make you, you.
