Expert Advice

How to treat expression lines? 

 

 

Expression lines come from repetitive movement of the muscles in the face and are commonly found in such areas as around the mouth known as smile lines, around the eyes, forehead and brow lines. It is natural and we all do have them, although how we move our face can differ from person to person, so some people will have deeper lines on the forehead more than the mouth for example.
We have more 30 facial muscles in the face and they move constantly when we are sad, happy, angry, concerned, for example. Over time, it is this constant movement that creates a line and this can eventually stay even at rest.
There are ways to help reduce these and our top recommendations are:

Skincare containing NEUROPEPTIDES AKA FREEZING PEPTIDES

 

Peptides typically function by acting as messenger molecules that give special instructions to receptors inside your skin. Neuropeptides, like Argireline or SNAP-8, essentially tell your muscles to tighten up a little. This discourages sagging and particularly deep expression lines. For this reason, they often get unfairly compared to botulinum toxin (Botox) in effect. They are definitely more subtle in effect than Botox, but they’re also easy-to-use, at-home topical skincare.

Keep the skin hydrated and healthy

 
Taking care of your overall well-being sets your skin up for success. That applies to expression lines just as much as any other skin goal. Drink plenty of water every day, eat a balanced diet with minimal added sugars, and get your beauty sleep.
Use a nice hydrating, plumping serum to help make the skin more plumped and hydrated minimise the look of expression lines.

House of PLLA (Sculplla) | CAVIPLLA MULTI-SERUM – from £89.00 

Caviplla contains both Caviar Extract and Poly-L-Lactic to promote overall healthy aging. Caviar is a source of vitamins, minerals, Omega 3 and 6, and amino acids that provide the building blocks for optimally functioning skin cells. This serum/moisturizer can provide your skin with a more firm, lifted appearance while also while minimizing pores and smoothing the texture of the skin.

Poly-L-Lactic Acid stimulates the production of collagen in your skin, which can reduce wrinkles and fills in hollow and sunken areas of the face neck and chest. This potent serum is formulated with a cutting-edge oxygen delivery system. This oxygenation causes the serum to bubble up on the skin, leading to deeper product penetration.

Active Ingredients

SPF – Sun protection 

 

While SPF does not directly help expression lines; it will help stop them from getting worse.
Protecting from harmful UV rays is the most important and straightforward part of skincare, but it’s so easy to miss or forget. Sun damage will deepen expression lines and damage your skin’s overall health. You can also limit sun exposure, but staying indoors and avoiding the sun all the time is no fun.

Clinic Treatments 

 

Anti-Wrinkle Injections 

 

These are targeted muscle treatments using a drug called Botulinum Toxin Type A to temporarily block or paralyse the muscle preventing it contracting and moving. Keeping certain muscles in a relaxed state has huge anti-ageing benefits by softening the appearance of static (at rest) and preventing dynamic (movement) lines.

The repetition of the muscles contracting and moving pull the overlying skin and are responsible for the lines forming between the eyebrows, on the forehead and around the eyes. Treating these areas has now gained FDA approval and validity and is an exceptional treatment for the upper face.

Lower face treatments are performed and work well in certain muscles; examples of these are relaxing the upper lip, muscle that pulls the corner of the mouth down, chin, jaw and neck muscles. However these are off-license (manufacturing) treatments and are given by experienced medical practitioners which we provide.

Prices start from £200.00
