Lines and Wrinkles

Lines and wrinkles develop due to a combination of repetitive muscle movement and aging, dehydrated and sun-damaged skin. We broadly define wrinkles as “static” (present at rest), “dynamic” (present during expression) or “compression” (eg. sleep lines).

One of the most effective treatments for dynamic wrinkles is wrinkle-relaxing injections (eg “Botox”).

If your skin is wrinkling due to poor skin quality and laxity, we may suggest treatments that focus on skin health and collagen induction such as SkinPen microneedling or Skin Boosters.

Occasionally, we use a highly soft & stretchy form of dermal filler to treat specific wrinkles (eg. above lip).

Tired Eyes

The periocular area has the thinnest skin on the body. It is therefore one of the earliest places to show signs of aging skin.

Common periocular concerns include: crow’s feet wrinkles, crepey under-eye skin, dark circles, puffiness / eye bags, tear-trough hollowing, eyelid laxity/hooding and under-eye “jelly rolls” (overactive muscle).

RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS

At KinDRed Skin, we believe that all aesthetic treatments should be undertaken by an experienced healthcare professional but especially when it comes to assessment and treatment of the eye area. There are often various factors that come in to play and a careful assessment by a doctor is essential to ensure you are receiving the correct treatment for your particular concern.

Treatments may include the following. Click on each treatment to find out more information:

Volume Loss

As we age, we lose volume from specific facial structures such as fat pads and bone. This can lead to the following concerns:

  • “Droopiness” or descent of the face
  • Gaunt or unhealthy appearance
  • Thin lips
  • Jowls
  • Shadows & deep folds on the face eg. Nose to mouth shadows (nasolabial folds) or mouth to chin shadows (marionette lines)
  • Sunken temples

RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS

To correct volume loss, one of our main treatments is. Click on the treatment to find out more information:

Lip Size and Shape

As we age, we start to lose volume from our lips as early as our 20s.

You may have asymmetry in lip volume or imbalance in your lip volume compared to your other facial features.

You may also have hyperactive facial muscles that give you a thin lip when smiling, an asymmetrical smile or a gummy smile.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS

At KinDRed Skin, you will have an initial consultation with a doctor who truly understands the interplay between muscle, lip volume and skin quality. We will then be able to offer a treatment that is bespoke to you. We may suggest a combination approach to attain optimum results.

Smoker’s lines / upper lip lines

Facial Balance

It is common to have some facial features that do not sit in complete harmony with the rest. This may be due to genetic factors (eg. recessed chin), age-related volume loss or overactive muscles (eg. masseter hypertrophy giving rise to a square jaw).

Subtle tweaks can bring harmony to a face and improve the overall balance.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS

We can use the following treatments to improve facial and profile balancing. Click on each treatment to find out more information:

Jowls

As we age, certain facial fat pads lose fat and other fat pads gain fat, we lose bone volume and our skin and ligaments become lax. Sometimes there is a strong muscles (platysma) pulling down on the jaw line. All of these factors can contribute to the formation of jowls.

RECOMMENDED TREATMENTS

At KinDRed Skin, we will perform a full medical, facial and skin analysis to determine the cause of jowling.

You can always trust us to give honest advice. Sometimes, we may suggest a treatment that we do not have in our clinic, such as seeking a cosmetic surgical opinion.

Treatments that we can offer to improve the appearance of jowls include the following. Click on each treatment to find out more information:
