Condition
Fine lines & Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are often among the first visible changes in the skin. Fine lines are shallow and closer to the skin’s surface, while wrinkles are deeper. Over time, fine lines may become more noticeable.

Static Wrinkles
What causes it
What causes Fine lines & Wrinkles?
Aging
Collagen and elastin fibers are two key proteins that provide structure to the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Over time, the breakdown of collagen and elastin increases, while the natural production of these proteins decreases. This process can lead to the formation of static wrinkles on the skin’s surface.
Repeated facial expressions
Fine lines and wrinkles can form due to muscle contractions when we make facial expressions. For example, dynamic wrinkles often appear around the eyes, between the eyebrows, and near the lips and forehead as a result of repeated facial expressions like squinting, smiling, and laughing
Sun exposure
Research suggests that sun exposure is a significant factor in the reduction of collagen and elastin. The sun also weakens the bond between the dermis (the connective tissue layer of skin) and the epidermis (the outer layer of skin). As a result, the skin may lose its firmness and elasticity, leading to the formation of wrinkles.
You can enhance the appearance of aging skin with collagen stimulation treatments such as AestheFill and Thread Lift.
Fine line & Wrinkles Treatment Options
Dermal fillers work by restoring lost volume and stimulating collagen production, which helps to smooth out wrinkles and improve the appearance of the skin. They are typically made from hyaluronic acid, which is a substance found naturally in the body that attracts and retains moisture. When injected into the skin, the filler plumps up the area and creates a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
AestheFill Malaysia is an injectable filler that supports collagen production, helping to enhance skin firmness for long-lasting results. It can help fill areas of the face that have lost volume and smoothen fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox, or botulinum toxin is a protein that is used to temporarily weaken the muscles that cause wrinkles to form on the face. When injected into the muscles, it blocks the nerve signals that cause the muscles to contract, resulting in a relaxation of the muscle and smoothening of the overlying skin.
Similar Conditions
Around the age of 25, the first visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles, dry skin, sagging and age spots, may start to appear and become noticeable. Over time, the skin may lose its plumpness and smooth appearance.
Saggy skin is a condition where the skin loses its elasticity. Firm skin can stretch and return to its original form easily, while saggy skin lacks this ability.
