Lines & Wrinkles
Lines and wrinkles are one of the most common aging concerns, regardless of skin type. As we age our skin gets thinner, drier and loses its elasticity. We can’t avoid these signs of aging completely, but we can minimize and soften them!
Our preventative and corrective line and wrinkle treatments effectively improve common areas of concern, including:- Forehead lines and wrinkles
- Frown lines and brow furrows
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Marionette lines (creases from the corners of the lips down to chin)
- Neck lines
Corrective Treatments
- Botox Cosmetic eliminates or minimizes specific muscle movements to reduce corresponding skin folds
- Dermal Fillers restore volume loss for deeper lines caused by the loss of fat tissue as we age
- Advanced Anti-Aging Combo combines IPL photorejuvenation to target pigment and redness with microneedling to maximize collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
- Microneedling collagen induction breaks down damaged skin cells and encourages new production of vibrant, healthy cells
- Customized, medical-grade skincare treats the signs of aging, exfoliates, moisturizes, and protects
Preventative Treatments
- Medical Facials maintain overall skin health
- Chemical peels exfoliate, brighten skin, and facilitate optimal product penetration
- Customized, medical-grade homecare prevents further signs of aging due to sun damage and hormonal changes, exfoliates, moisturizes, and protects.

What are lines and wrinkles?
Years of facial expression cause us to develop ridges, folds and creases in the skin that are worsened with sun exposure, smoking, dehydration and some medications. Lines and wrinkles are also affected by genetic and additional environmental factors.
What is a Medical Facial?
A Medical Facial is a facial treatment utilizing professional-grade products customized by our skincare specialist to specifically treat your aging skin concerns, including lines and wrinkles. It can be done on its own or as part of a treatment plan to enhance and improve other treatments you might be receiving.
What is an ANTI-AGING COMBO Treatment?
An ANTI-AGING COMBO is our most effective treatment for lines and wrinkles as well as other skin concerns relating to aging. It begins with a medical facial, but its effectiveness is maximized with the combination of IPL photorejuvenation and a collagen-boosting microneedling treatment. Maximum results are achieved with a series of at least 3 treatments
What is IPL?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. This photorejuvenation treatment can be customized by filtering the wavelengths of light to target your specific skin concerns. IPL is the “gold standard” for treating both redness and pigmented lesions with minimal to no downtime.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a procedure that creates controlled, microscopic injuries in the skin which signals the skin to produce new collagen and other skin cells during the repair process. It is very effective at minimizing the signs of aging tand improving the overall look of your skin.
How do I know which anti-aging treatment is right for me?
You can select your preferred treatment(s) and book them yourself through our online booking system or book a consultation with our skincare specialist for recommendations. Consultations are available by telephone, email, online or in-person.
Are there any contraindications to anti-aging treatments?
Yes. We will ask you for a full skin history including current and past skincare products and medications. We may postpone your treatment if you are using skincare with exfoliating ingredients, if you are new to Retinol, or if you are taking or have recently taken Accutane.
Do you ever refuse to do an anti-aging treatment?
Yes. There are occasions where client expectations are not realistic or where we choose not to proceed for other reasons.
