What are wrinkles?
Wrinkles are lines, folds or creases that appear as the skin loses elasticity, hydration and structural support. They may develop gradually or become more noticeable with certain expressions. Wrinkles are a natural part of ageing, but they can also appear earlier due to sun exposure, lifestyle factors or genetics. At Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford we provide a doctor led approach to assessing and treating wrinkles, helping patients achieve smoother, softer and more youthful looking skin without altering their natural expression.
Wrinkles fall into two main categories:
- Dynamic wrinkles which appear during movement, such as frown lines, crow’s feet or forehead lines.
- Static wrinkles which remain visible even when the face is at rest.
Understanding the type and depth of your wrinkles allows us to create a safe and personalised treatment plan.
