Wrinkle Reduction

Skin aging is a biological process influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. As the skin ages, its ability to repair and regenerate slows, resulting in visible lines, folds, and textural changes.

Common Causes of Wrinkles

• Natural aging and collagen breakdown

• Sun exposure (UV-related damage)

• Repetitive facial expressions

• Dehydration and impaired skin barrier

• Smoking and environmental pollution

• Hormonal changes

• Reduced skin turnover

Early clinical evaluation allows for appropriate intervention and long-term skin health management.

Identifying the type of wrinkle helps determine the most suitable treatment plan.

Dynamic Wrinkles

These occur due to repeated facial muscle movements such as smiling or frowning and are most commonly seen on the forehead and around the eyes.

Static Wrinkles

These are visible at rest and result from collagen loss and skin laxity.

Deep Folds

Nasolabial folds and marionette lines fall into this category and usually require volume support or deeper tissue remodeling.

Wrinkle treatment focuses on improving skin quality, reducing line depth, and supporting collagen production. Treatment selection is based on clinical assessment.

1. Injectable Treatments

Dermal fillers
Used to restore volume, soften deep folds, and improve facial contours. Fillers are selected according to facial anatomy and skin needs.

Biostimulatory injectables
These stimulate collagen production over time and help improve skin thickness and elasticity gradually.

2. Chemical Peels

Medical-grade chemical peels remove damaged surface layers of skin and stimulate cell renewal. They are commonly used for fine lines, uneven tone, and texture irregularities.

3. Microneedling and Radiofrequency Treatments

Microneedling creates controlled microchannels that stimulate natural healing and collagen production.

Radiofrequency microneedling delivers heat energy into deeper skin layers to improve firmness and texture while supporting collagen remodeling.

4. Laser-Based Treatments

Fractional laser therapy creates microscopic treatment zones that stimulate collagen renewal and improve wrinkles, skin texture, and tone.

Laser treatment plans are customized based on skin type and wrinkle severity.

5. Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency energy gently heats deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen contraction and gradual skin tightening without surgical intervention.

The number of sessions required depends on:

• Wrinkle depth and type

• Skin condition

• Treatment modality

• Individual response to therapy

Most patients require multiple sessions for optimal improvement, with maintenance treatments recommended as needed.

Downtime varies depending on the procedure performed. Many treatments allow a return to daily activities within a short period.

General aftercare includes:

• Sun protection

• Use of gentle skincare products

• Avoiding harsh treatments temporarily

• Following post-procedure instructions provided by the physician

Mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity may occur and typically resolves within a few days.

When performed by qualified professionals, wrinkle treatments are generally safe. Temporary side effects may include:

• Redness

• Mild swelling

• Sensitivity

• Bruising (injectable treatments)

• Temporary pigmentation changes (rare)

Patients are monitored throughout treatment to ensure safety and appropriate outcomes.

The cost of wrinkle treatment in Dubai depends on:

• Type of procedure

• Number of sessions required

• Areas treated

• Combination of therapies used
