What Causes Wrinkles
and Fine Lines?
Wrinkles primarily result from the natural ageing process where the skin becomes thinner, skin loses elasticity, and drier, leading to lines and creases. Environmental factors, especially prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun, accelerate this process by breaking down the skin’s collagen and elastin.
Lifestyle choices like smoking and repeated facial expressions also contribute to wrinkle formation and uneven skin tone. Smoking reduces blood supply to the skin and damages blood vessels, and habitual facial movements create grooves that become permanent frown lines over time.
What is Fine Lines and Wrinkles Treatment?
Fine lines and wrinkles treatment at our clinic encompasses both surgical and non-surgical options. Surgical treatments like facelifts and neck lifts are designed to provide more dramatic and long-lasting results.
These procedures can significantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve the appearance of ageing skin, correct drooping in areas like the eyebrows and eyelids, and refine facial contours.
Non-surgical options, including skin resurfacing, skin needling, chemical peels, etc. offer a less invasive approach to smoothing out wrinkles, firming skin tone, restoring facial volume and increasing collagen and elastin production.
These treatments are quick, with minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for those seeking immediate improvements.
Our treatment options for fine lines and wrinkles include :

Fine Lines and Wrinkles Treatment
Procedure Explained
At Dr Queenie Chan’s clinic, we provide a range of treatments for fine lines
and wrinkles, each tailored to the individual’s needs and concerns.
Surgical Procedures
Our surgical options offer lasting and significant improvements. A facelift involves incisions along the hairline and around the ears to lift and tighten the skin, effectively reducing sagging and smoothing deep wrinkles, especially around the lower face and jawline.
A neck lift, often performed alongside a facelift, targets the neck area to address loose skin and wrinkles, involving incisions around the ears and under the chin.
Non-Surgical Treatments
For those seeking less invasive options, we offer treatments that are quick, involve minimal downtime, and effectively address specific areas of concern.
Our minimally invasive treatments work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, smoothing out lines and creases in areas like the forehead, crow’s feet, and between the eyebrows.
We also provide treatments that restore lost volume and plump up areas that have become hollow or sunken, such as the cheeks, lips, and under-eye area, also smoothing out deep lines and wrinkles.
Biostimulator treatments address poor skin elasticity due to sun exposure and the ageing process while avoiding the ‘plumped up’ appearance.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery and aftercare are crucial for both surgical and non-surgical treatments. Patients are provided with comprehensive guidance on post-treatment care, essential for effective healing and achieving the best results.
Realistic Expectations
It’s important for patients to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of their chosen treatments. Both surgical and non-surgical options have their specific benefits and limitations, which are thoroughly discussed during the initial consultation to ensure patient satisfaction with the results.
