Wrinkles & Lines

Are you concerned about wrinkles, lines and folds, and the changes on your face over time, and how these changes can often give you a tired, angry or sad look, even when you're not? Then the team at Mackay Skin have the answer for you.

Many facial wrinkles occur when we use our muscles to form facial expressions. These movement lines are called dynamic wrinkles. For example, when we smile eye wrinkles become prominent, and when we frown the vertical lines between our eyebrows become noticeable.

Environmental factors, such as exposure to sunlight and smoking, and stress, all contribute to the creation of wrinkles and folds. Skin wrinkling can be minimized by avoiding excessive sun exposure, using daily sunscreen and wearing protective clothing, quitting smoking and by leading a healthy life style. Several topical creams and cosmetic techniques are available to get rid of the wrinkles. Early wrinkles are easily treated through microdermabrasions, peels or facial rejuvenation techniques.

When we are young our skin springs back to its initial position after facial expressions, but as we get older dynamic wrinkles remain on the skin to form static wrinkles. These are the wrinkles and folds that are present at rest and contribute to the appearance of ageing.

There is a wide range of procedures that can improve your appearance which include:

Muscle Relaxant Treatment

Muscle relaxant injections are a rejuvenation technique used to relax the facial muscle that contribute to wrinkle formation. Cosmetically, once the muscles are relaxed you cannot contract them and continue to make the undesirable facial expressions. Thus the lines gradually smooth and new lines are prevented from forming. Muscle relaxant injections do not usually require any downtime and normal activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure.

Facial Enhancement Treatment

Facial Enhancement Treatment Dermal fillers are a smooth injectable gel which is placed below the skin surface to literally ‘fill in’ or ‘plump up’ static wrinkles and folds that are present at rest, creating a natural and more refreshed facial appearance. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical face lift treatment that restores youthful curves quickly, comfortably and affordably. You can take control of the ageing process without the risks of surgery and create a natural refreshed facial appearance.

Microdermabrasion is used successfully to help treat various skin conditions; reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve acne and congestion by drawing out blockages and blackheads, improve the freshness and smoothness of the complexion, stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin, and assist with the absorption of subsequently applied active skin care products.
