Wrinkles and fine lines
At the Derma-Act clinics, we offer a wide range of effective, modern and personalized procedures for removal of wrinkles and fine lines. With our assistance, you can obliterate the traces of time and ensure a truly youthful and fresh appearance for yourself.
Early skin aging is a problem which everyone encounters sooner or later. Although wrinkles appear on the skin in both sexes, they become visible earlier in women since the aging process in men is slower. The reason for this is that their skin is denser by 25% than female skin, which makes loosening and fine lines less probable. The good news is that the process is not irreversible and different treatment options are available.

Many people are concerned about their wrinkles but do not undertake any steps for their removal. One of the main reasons is that they are afraid to look "expressionless and cold" after an intervention.

This is achievable thanks to our year-long experience in this field and the specific technique of our dermatologists acquired over time. The procedures for treatment of wrinkles are something worth doing and you should try it. They are painless and 100% safe.
Types of wrinkles on the face
In which areas of the face is the occurrence of wrinkles most often seen?
The wrinkles occurring on the face are divided into two categories:
Horizontal depressions which are formed due to frequent wrinkling of skin due to raising the eyebrows, and vertical lines, which are formed after any expressive mimic on the face. Over time, wrinkles remain stably on face, irrespective of the patient's expression, since the retraction of the skin to its position becomes more difficult.
Eyebrows and eyelids
The frown line is the distinct vertical fold between the eyebrows.
Eyes
Fine wrinkles in the corners of the eyes resembling crow's feet are almost invisible initially, but over time and due to the decreased production of collagen and elastin, they become increasingly deeper.
Nose and lips
Nasopharyngeal wrinkles are seen in the area of the nose and mouth corners. Also, marionette lines giving a sad and tired appearance occur. They start from the corners of the mouth and continue down to the edge of the lower jaw.
Neck
The loosening of the neck muscles leads to the loss of density of the skin and the occurrence of horizontal and vertical wrinkles, which extend to the chest. Horizontal wrinkles result from the decrease of collagen and elastin, while vertical wrinkles are formed due to remaining in the same position for many years. Sleeping in the same position is often the main reason for vertical wrinkles on the neck and chest.
What are the causes for the occurrence of wrinkles?
- Hormonal aging
Over the years, there is a decrease of the production of collagen and weakening of elastin fibres. The skin loosens and loses its youthful density, while fine lines become more intense and deeper. - Genetic aging
The natural process leading to the weakening and decomposition of the two building components of the skin, elastin and collagen proteins. - Exposure to sunlight
Excessive exposure to sunlight without proper sun-protection accelerates the manifestation of wrinkles, increases the formation of free radicals and inhibits the production of elastin and collagen fibres. - Repeated facial mimics
Specific expressions of the face that are repeated very often as a response to surprise, agony, gladness, sadness, etc., leave traces on the skin since elastin fibres are weakened.
Treatment of wrinkles
Laser rejuvenation with PicoSure®
PicoSure® is one of the best lasers for rejuvenation of skin. The risk of injury to surrounding skin is decreased thanks to the short period of the pulse, while simultaneously a specific problem is treated to the largest extent. PicoSure® can be used to improve skin texture, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven complexion and acne scars. The procedure is non-surgical, non-invasive, has a short recovery period and can fit perfectly with an accelerated daily routine.
Botulinum toxin
Injecting botox paralyses certain facial muscles temporarily, making their contraction impossible for a certain period of time. Thus, it inhibits the formation of new wrinkles and the deepening of already existing wrinkles.
Botox is applied in the cases when mimic wrinkles on the face and neck need to be smoothed for a more youthful appearance and expression. Moreover, botox also controls the undesired sweating on the face and mostly on the forehead. Its use for smoothing the wrinkles between the eyebrows, around the eyes (known as crow’s feet) and around the lips appears to be particularly successful. It can change the general appearance of the face, eliminating tired appearance.
Hyaluronic acid – Fillers
Dermal hyaluronic fillers are products for injecting used for different aesthetic corrections such as filling of fine and deep wrinkles, lip augmentation, face contouring, modelling of cheekbones, chin, depression in the area under the eyes, non-surgical correction of the nose.
They are synthesized based on a stabilized hyaluronic acid, a natural component of the human body. Their main benefit is the quick and visible effect in compliance with the patient’s requirements in relation to the quantity and quality of the selected product.
Magellan PRP
The Magellan PRP procedure is one of the most natural and precise procedures for rejuvenation. The procedure makes the skin tighter, denser and elastic, facilitates evening out the complexion and decrease of fine lines and pigmentations on the skin. In comparison to regular plasmotherapy, the Magellan procedure provides up to 10 thousand times higher platelet concentration. This makes the procedure more effective and its results are seen almost instantly after its completion.
Mesotherapy of face, neck and décolletage
Mesotherapy is the hydration of skin in depth. Due to its specific effects, each type of mesotherapy has a specific indication – hydration, tightening of skin, toning, minimizing fine lines as well as decreasing dark circles and swelling. Usually, the treated areas are the face, eyes and neck. All patients are eligible for this procedure, as it can be started even at the age of 20 years, depending on the specific indications and requirements of the skin.
Durability of the results
How long the result of an individual procedure will last depends to a large extent on the muscle arrangement of the face. According to the synchronization of emotions and muscle contractions, faces are divided into three types: Orthokinetic, hyperkinetic and hypertonic. The orthomotor type, in which a perfect synchronization is seen, is the ideal type. The proper identification of the face type and use of proper dosing are the key factors in the treatment and also lead to a balanced result, without an unnaturally frozen expression on the face. Other factors influencing the durability of the effect may be age, skin condition, photoaging grade, smoking, etc.
