Fine Lines & Ageing

About fine lines & ageing

As we age, skin makes less collagen and elastin, renews itself more slowly and holds less moisture. That shows up as fine lines, loss of firmness and dull, uneven texture, and sun exposure speeds it all up.

You cannot stop time, but the right treatments and homecare can help your skin look healthier, firmer and more even.

What causes it

  • A natural decline in collagen and elastin from our mid-20s onwards
  • Sun damage, the biggest outside cause of visible ageing
  • Slower skin renewal, leaving skin dull
  • Dehydration and a weaker skin barrier
  • Lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor sleep and stress
  • Hormonal changes, including menopause

Signs to look for

  • Fine lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead
  • Loss of firmness or bounce
  • Dull or rough texture
  • Uneven tone and sun spots
  • Dryness and tightness
  • Pores that look larger

Recommended skincare

Active serums and hydration to support firmer, smoother-looking skin between treatments.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start anti-ageing treatments?

Any age is a good time. In your 20s the focus is prevention, like daily SPF and a good routine. From your 30s onwards, many clients add results-focused treatments.

Is skin needling painful?

Most clients find it very manageable. Your therapist will talk you through what to expect before you start.

How long until I see results?

Many clients notice a fresher glow straight away. Improvements in firmness and fine lines build over a course of treatments as your skin renews.

Is there downtime?

Treatments like the Radiance Skin Treatment have no downtime. After skin needling, some redness for a day or two is common. Your therapist will give you aftercare advice.

Not sure where to start?

A Skin Discovery Treatment ($99, valued at $180) includes a professional skin analysis and a treatment and homecare plan made for your skin.
