About Dynamic Wrinkles & Expression Lines
Understanding Dynamic Wrinkles & Expression Lines
Dynamic wrinkles, also known as expression lines, are creases that form in the skin due to repeated muscle activity associated with facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or raising the eyebrows. Common examples include forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar lines or '11s'), and crow's feet around the eyes. While initially visible only during expression, over time and with age-related loss of skin elasticity, these lines can become etched into the skin, remaining visible even when the face is at rest (static wrinkles).Discussing Management of Expression Lines with Dr. Hans
At PRP London Clinic, Dr. Hans offers expert consultations to discuss effective strategies for managing dynamic wrinkles. Some advanced medical aesthetic treatments work by addressing the specific facial muscle activity that contributes to these lines. The goal of such approaches, when deemed appropriate after a full medical assessment, is to help soften the appearance of these lines. It is important to understand that such medical treatments may involve prescription-only medicines. Their suitability can only be determined following a comprehensive medical assessment by a qualified practitioner like Dr. Hans, and UK regulations require such medicines to be prescribed by an appropriately qualified medical professional after a face-to-face consultation.Focus on Natural-Looking Results Through Personalised Advice
Our experienced practitioner, Dr. Hans, has a deep understanding of facial anatomy and provides precise assessments to achieve natural-looking outcomes. The aim of any discussed strategy is not to 'freeze' expressions but to soften lines and create a refreshed, more relaxed appearance while preserving your ability to express emotion naturally. During your consultation, Dr. Hans will discuss various areas of concern, including the upper face and lower face, and may also discuss superficial techniques for improving overall skin texture and fine lines.What Our Patients Are Saying
