Wrinkle Relaxing Treatments
Sydney’s Sisa Skincare offers wrinkle relaxing treatments that can help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a refreshed and natural look.
Wrinkle Relaxing
As we age, our skin undergoes a natural transformation. The production of collagen and elastin, proteins that provide structure and elasticity, slows down. This decrease in elasticity makes the skin thinner and less able to bounce back from repeated facial expressions. Over time, these expressions etch themselves into the skin, forming fine lines and wrinkles. Sun exposure accelerates this process by damaging collagen fibers, leading to deeper, coarser wrinkles.
So, the natural decline of our body’s building blocks combined with environmental factors like sun damage contribute to the development of facial wrinkles in all their variations.
Wrinkle Relaxing Treatments
Smooths skin
Relaxing wrinkles can temporarily reduce their appearance, creating a smoother and more even skin surface. This can be particularly noticeable in areas prone to fine lines and wrinkles, such as around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.
Reduces Visibility of Deep Lines
While some wrinkles may not completely disappear, relaxing them can soften their depth and make them less noticeable. This can be especially beneficial for addressing deeper wrinkles that tend to become more prominent with age.
Prevents Further Deepening
Relaxing wrinkles can help prevent them from becoming deeper over time. Repeated facial expressions can worsen their appearance. Medical-grade treatments can minimise the formation of deeper wrinkles in the future.
More Confident Appearance
Many people associate a smoother, wrinkle-free appearance with youthful skin. Addressing the appearance of wrinkles can boost your confidence by giving you a more refreshed look overall.
Wrinkle Relaxing
Forehead
The forehead is a common area for frown lines and horizontal lines. Frown lines form between the eyebrows due to repeated frowning, while horizontal lines appear across the forehead due to raising eyebrows. Treatment in this area can smooth these lines and create a more youthful appearance.
Crow's Feet
Crow's feet are the small wrinkles that appear on the outer corners of the eyes. They are caused by smiling, squinting, and other facial expressions. Treatment can address the muscles around the eyes, reducing the appearance of crow's feet.
Glabella Lines
Glabella lines are the vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows. They are often caused by frowning or squinting. Treatment can address the muscles between the brows, smoothing out these lines.
Perioral Lines
Perioral lines are the lines that appear around the mouth. They can be caused by smoking, sun damage, and repeated facial expressions like smiling or pursing the lips. Treatment can relax the muscles around the mouth, reducing the appearance of these lines.
Tips and Suggestions
We understand that personalisation is key to achieving optimal skincare results. During your consultation with our Registered Nurse, we will carefully assess your unique skin concerns and goals. We’ll discuss factors like desired level of correction, and treatment areas to determine the ideal treatment plan. Our team of doctors will be consulted prior to treatment to ensure client suitability. This customised approach ensures you receive the most effective treatment for your specific needs, maximizing your journey towards healthier skin.
Before Your Treatment:
- Consultation: During your skin consultation, our nurse will discuss your medical history, current at-home skincare routine, and desired results. We’ll also answer any questions you may have about the treatment process.
- Preparation: We may recommend temporarily discontinuing certain medications or skincare products that can thin the blood or irritate the skin.
After Your Treatment:
- Minimize Movement: Avoid excessive facial expressions, rubbing, or touching the treated area for 24-48 hours. This allows the treatment to settle as intended.
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: Intense exercise or activities that cause heavy sweating can affect the treatment for 24 hours.
- Skip Makeup for a While: Avoid applying makeup directly to the treated area for at least 4-6 hours.
- Stay Cool: Avoid extreme heat, including saunas, hot tubs, and very hot showers, for 24 hours.
- Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and support your skin’s healing process.
- Sunscreen Always: Continue using sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days, to protect your skin from sun damage which can worsen wrinkles.
- Hydration: Proper hydration is crucial both before and after your treatment. Aim to drink plenty of water throughout the day to support your skin’s healing process and maintain its elasticity.
- Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet rich in antioxidants and essential nutrients helps nourish your skin from within and promotes optimal healing.
- Supplement Power: Consider incorporating collagen-boosting supplements like Vitamin C or marine collagen peptides into your routine to further enhance your results.
- Post-Treatment Skincare Routine: Stick to a gentle, fragrance-free skincare routine after your treatment. Harsh products can irritate your skin and hinder healing.
- Exfoliation: After the initial healing period (typically around a week), gentle exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and promote smoother texture. We recommend our Concentrated Clarifier cell renewing serum with AHA and BHA.
- Skincare Consistency: Consistency is key to maintaining your results. Following a regular skincare routine that includes cleansing, moisturising, and SPF protection will help you achieve long-lasting youthful radiance.
