Lai Ying (Noreen) LokNMW0002111411Wrinkles & Lines Consultations
Lines and wrinkles typically develop from muscles that appear when the face moves. They form through repeated movements such as frowning, raising the eyebrows and smiling. Over time, lines that once showed only on movement can begin to show at rest. If this is a concern for you, please book a consultation with our team.

Ways to enquire
Overview
Expression lines and movement
If you have questions about the lines that appear when your face moves, start with a private consultation. You do not need to know which treatment to ask for — that is what the appointment is for.
These treatments work by targeting the facial muscles involved in expression, which may temporarily reduce and soften the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles in the areas treated.
The lines usually discussed are frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines across the forehead, crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes, smile and bunny lines around the nose and mouth, and dimpling or a pebbled texture on the chin.

These visuals are not guarantees of results and do not imply that your outcome will be the same or similar. Results, risks, potential complications and recovery times vary between individuals.
What to expect
From consultation to aftercare.
Individual experiences, downtime and aftercare vary. Everything below is discussed with you before any treatment decision is made.
Consultation
A private discussion of your aesthetic goals, with your questions answered and the available options explained. Your practitioner covers suitability, alternatives, potential risks, side effects, downtime, aftercare and realistic expectations for your individual needs.
What to expect
If you proceed and follow the required aftercare, side effects are likely to be mild and temporary, and may include mild bruising at the treatment site. Individual experiences vary.
Aftercare
If you choose to undertake a treatment following the consultation, to minimise the downtime, please:
- Avoid wearing make-up directly after your treatment
- Avoid exercise for 48 hours, and high-intensity exercise on the day of treatment and the day after
- Stay upright for 4 hours
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
- Avoid facial massages, facial treatments and saunas for 2 weeks
Questions
Questions about Wrinkles & Lines
Is there much downtime?
Following the required aftercare can reduce the risk of downtime. Where it occurs it may include mild bruising at the treatment site, which can typically be covered with light make-up the following day. Individual experiences vary, and your practitioner will discuss what is reasonable to expect in your case.
How long will the results last?
The effects are temporary, generally lasting around three to four months. Individual results vary, and how long any effect lasts depends on factors discussed at your consultation. This is general information, not a prediction of your own outcome.
When can I wear makeup?
We suggest avoiding make-up directly after your treatment, to reduce the risk of infection at the treatment sites. It can generally be worn again the following day.
What happens once the treatment wears off?
The treated area gradually returns to its baseline appearance — how it looked before treatment. The effect is temporary rather than permanent, which is one of the things worth discussing at your consultation.
Which areas can be discussed?
The lines usually discussed are frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal forehead lines, crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes, smile and bunny lines around the nose and mouth, and dimpling or a pebbled texture on the chin. Which of these is suitable for you is assessed at your consultation, where we look at how your face moves and what you would like to change.
Costs
Understanding the cost of treatment.
Which treatment is suitable depends on your facial structure and on the beauty goal you are working toward. Two people asking for a similar outcome might need very different treatment plans.
The best place to start is a consultation where we will discuss your goals, talk through what may be suitable, and set out the cost of that specific plan.
