Concerned about wrinkles?

Wrinkle treatment at Cannelle Skin Clinic in Oxford targets fine lines, dynamic wrinkles and age related creasing. Doctor led rejuvenation helps restore smoother, firmer and more refreshed looking skin.

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.

How wrinkles develop

Wrinkles form due to a combination of structural, environmental and biological changes.

Collagen and elastin decline: Collagen provides firmness while elastin allows the skin to bounce back after movement. As these proteins decline, the skin becomes thinner and less resilient.
Repetitive facial movement: Expressions such as smiling, squinting or frowning repeatedly crease the skin. Over time, these lines become permanent.
Loss of volume: Natural facial fat pads shrink with age, creating hollowness that makes wrinkles appear deeper.
Sun exposure: Ultraviolet light accelerates collagen breakdown and leads to rough texture, uneven tone and early fine lines.
Dryness and barrier weakness: A compromised barrier contributes to dehydration, making wrinkles more pronounced.
Lifestyle factors: Smoking, stress, poor sleep and environmental exposure can all accelerate the ageing process.

Wrinkles are not caused by ageing alone. Many factors influence their severity and pattern, which is why professional diagnosis is important.

  • Forehead lines
  • Frown lines
  • Crow’s feet
  • Under eye lines
  • Cheek creases
  • Lip lines
  • Nasolabial folds

Who is affected by wrinkles?

Wrinkles affect all adults as part of the natural ageing process. They may appear earlier in:

  • Individuals with fair or sun sensitive skin
  • People with expressive facial habits
  • Adults with high UV exposure
  • Those with naturally thinner skin

With the right treatment plan wrinkles can be softened significantly, often giving the face a fresher and more relaxed appearance.

What causes wrinkles?

Wrinkles are caused by collagen loss, repetitive facial movement, sun exposure, dehydration and general ageing. Lifestyle and genetics also influence their severity.

How are wrinkles assessed at Cannelle Skin Clinic?

Dr Mattia evaluates your skin quality, expression lines and facial structure to determine whether your wrinkles are dynamic, static or related to volume loss.

What treatments help reduce wrinkles?

Many cases respond well to non prescription treatments such as chemical peels, HydraFacial, Helios Laser and LED therapy. ZO Skin Health protocols also support clearer skin and improved barrier function.

Anti wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, microneedling, Morpheus8, chemical peels, HydraFacial and ZO Skin Health can all help soften wrinkles.

Do wrinkle treatments hurt?

Most treatments are comfortable. Anti wrinkle injections involve fine needles, and other treatments such as peels or microneedling may cause light tingling.

How quickly do wrinkle treatments work?

Anti wrinkle injections typically take 3 to 7 days to settle. Fillers show immediate improvement. Collagen treatments like Morpheus8 and microneedling build gradually over weeks.

Are wrinkle treatments permanent?

No. Anti wrinkle injections last around 3 to 4 months. Fillers last 12 to 18 months. Collagen boosting treatments require maintenance for long term results.

Is wrinkle treatment suitable for everyone?

Most adults can safely receive wrinkle treatments. Your consultation will confirm suitability based on medical history and skin type.

Can wrinkle treatments be combined?

Yes. Many patients achieve the best results by combining injectables with collagen stimulation and medical grade skincare.
