  • A review of associated risks, side effects and aftercare considerations.
  • A discussion of suitability, including any contraindications relevant to your individual circumstances.
  • Time to ask questions before any decision is made.

About Facial Expression Lines

Facial expression lines develop over time as a natural part of how skin moves.

Two types are commonly distinguished:

  • Dynamic lines appear when you actively express,  for example, when smiling, frowning or raising your brows. They form along the lines of muscle movement and are most visible when the face is animated.
  • Static lines remain visible even when the face is at rest. Over time, repeated movement, sun exposure, skin elasticity changes and other individual factors can contribute to lines becoming more visible at rest.

Whether expression lines are something to address, and what approach may be appropriate, depends entirely on your individual anatomy, your concerns and what is realistic to achieve.

These factors are reviewed clinically during your consultation.
