Wrinkles form as part of the natural ageing process, when collagen production slows and facial expressions repeatedly crease the skin. Lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, dehydration, and genetics also play a role.
During your consultation, Dr Scott Allison will examine your skin and facial anatomy and discuss suitable options. Some treatments may include prescription-only medicines or medical devices and are therefore discussed privately during consultation only.
