Wrinkles
Crow's feet when you smile, forehead lines when you think, then one day you notice they're still there when your face is relaxed.
How do wrinkles form?
Wrinkles start as fine, shallow lines around the eyes and corners of the mouth, then deepen over time. There are two main types: dynamic wrinkles appear only with expressions such as smiling or frowning, and static wrinkles remain even when the face is relaxed.
With age, collagen and elastin decline, and skin becomes thinner and less hydrated. Movements repeated thousands of times a day are gradually "printed" as lines in skin that no longer has enough elasticity to spring back.

What causes wrinkles?
Ageing
- Declining collagen & elastinSkin loses elasticity and no longer recovers after each expression.
- Dehydrated skinDry skin makes fine lines more visible.
External factors
- SunlightUV rays are the leading cause of early ageing and wrinkles.
- Smoke and pollution, smokingFree radicals damage cells and collagen.
Expression & constitution
- Repeated movementsSmiling, frowning and squinting create lines in the same places.
- GeneticsAffect when wrinkles appear and how deep they are.
Common types
Caused by dehydrated skin and thinning collagen. Improve well with resurfacing and hydration.
Crow's feet, forehead lines. Need increased firmness and balanced muscle tone.
Smile lines, deep forehead lines. Need collagen work in the deeper layers.
Where should I start?
Everyone has a different cause and degree, so the most important thing is to understand your condition correctly before choosing a solution.
During your Da Ký™, we determine whether your wrinkles are fine, dynamic or static, where they are, and what other signs of ageing accompany them. Each type needs action in a different layer of skin, so the plan is usually a gentle combination of several methods.
Home care
Home care helps slow the formation of new wrinkles and keeps treatment results for longer.
Sunscreen, hydration and anti-ageing actives are an essential foundation.
Recommendations we often give
- Wear sunscreen every day. Protect collagen from UV rays, even indoors near a window.
- Retinoid in the evening. The most researched active for improving wrinkles. Start at a low concentration and build up.
- Hydrate fully. Well-hydrated skin makes fine lines noticeably softer.
- Vitamin C and antioxidants. Protect skin from free radicals and support collagen synthesis.

Other options and advice
For pronounced dynamic wrinkles on the forehead and between the brows, botulinum toxin injection is a commonly used method. For very deep lines caused by volume loss, filler may be more suitable. If that's a better option for you, we'll say so clearly and refer you to the right specialist.
Claire always follows ethical medical aesthetic practice: we only recommend what truly suits you.
