Concern guide
Facial lines reflect repeated expression as well as changes in collagen, hydration and sun exposure that occur over time.
Understanding
Expression lines show when the face moves, while established creases can remain when it is still. Their depth and position are influenced by long-term movement, collagen and elasticity, ultraviolet exposure, smoking and the hydration of the skin.
Different procedures focus on different features, such as movement, surface texture or mild laxity. A useful comparison therefore considers the type and location of each line, skin condition and acceptable downtime rather than choosing treatment by age.
Compare your options
A consultation is the starting point: the most appropriate option depends on what is creating the concern, your goals and your medical history.
From £65
Radiofrequency uses controlled warming across selected facial skin to support texture and mild firmness. It may soften the overall look of fine lines but does not act like an injectable treatment for muscle-driven expression lines.
Why consider itA non-invasive option when surface quality and early laxity are contributing to facial lines.
From £99
Facial HIFU delivers focused ultrasound below the skin to address selected areas of reduced support. Its role is gradual tightening rather than filling individual creases or stopping facial movement.
Why consider itMore applicable where mild laxity is making lines and folds appear heavier.
Before you decide
Focused ultrasound, radiofrequency, plasma, needling and injectable treatments each carry their own restrictions and recovery. They should be delivered by appropriately trained practitioners and cannot halt the normal ageing process. Daily sun protection and consistent skincare still matter whichever route is chosen.
Common questions
Expression lines are produced by muscle movement, whereas lines that remain on a relaxed face also reflect longer-term changes within the skin.
No. Location, movement, depth, skin condition and tolerance for downtime all influence which options are appropriate.
No. It may soften selected features for a time, but the skin and deeper facial tissues continue to change naturally.
