Lines and wrinkles are a natural part of ageing. Over time, the effects of collagen loss, gravity, facial expression, and environmental factors like smoking can have an effect on the skin. Permanent creases in our facial skin often are found on the forehead and around the eyes and mouth.
For those concerned about signs of ageing, wrinkle treatments may provide a suitable option for treatment. Dr Soliman and his team are experienced in treating a variety of facial cosmetic concerns, such as lines and wrinkles, tailoring personalised treatments to individual patients.
Wrinkle treatments Who is a suitable candidate?
Wrinkle treatments are designed for people with mild to moderate signs of ageing, including lines and wrinkles. In most cases, candidates are physically healthy and mature enough in age to be concerned about skin lines and creases. However, the treatment is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers.
Before your treatment, you will need to have a personal consultation with us to establish your goals for wrinkle treatments. We will discuss your medical history and which areas you wish to treat, taking into consideration your personal preferences and the extent of your skin wrinkling. This will allow us to develop a personalised treatment plan suited to your needs and goals. Additionally, we will discuss the aftercare process to ensure you have a good idea of what to expect.

Wrinkle treatments Aftercare and risks
Side effects are usually temporary and mild. You may have some slight swelling, redness, and headaches, but these symptoms should subside within a couple of days. To minimise these effects and encourage healing, it is important to follow your clinician’s instructions on how to properly care for your treated area. For example, you may be advised to refrain from exercise for 24 hours.
Following your specific aftercare advice will help minimise potential complications such as persistent swelling and infection. Your symptoms should begin to improve over several days after your treatment.
