Fine Lines

For a youthful, natural finish

Fine Line Concerns

As you age, wrinkles become more noticeable. If left untreated, they progress, gradually deepening and becoming more prominent.

Wrinkles are progressive, so without proper care, they can worsen. To prevent fine lines from developing into pronounced wrinkles, it’s crucial to correctly identify the type of wrinkle, undergo appropriate treatment, and maintain skin that is less prone to wrinkles through regular care.

For Those Concerned About These Issues

  • Fine lines between my eyebrows and at the corners of my eyes have become more noticeable.
  • I feel like my expression lines around my eyes have deepened.
  • I feel like I’ve aged recently.
  • My makeup tends to smudge more easily.

Treatment and Features

Boosting Healing Power, Natural Results

Our clinic prioritizes natural results in fine wrinkle treatments. Peels and fractional needle RF normalize skin turnover, stimulate collagen production within the skin, and enable the epidermis to renew itself through its own healing power. By promoting these skin functions, we guide you toward naturally youthful, healthy skin.

Causes of Fine Lines

Fine Lines Caused by Dryness

When dryness causes the skin’s surface to become rough and flaky, it can lead to crepe-like wrinkles or linear lines. The dry winter season is particularly problematic, as heating and air conditioning can exacerbate dryness. In severe cases, the surface of the stratum corneum becomes flaky and peels off, allowing moisture within the skin to evaporate and escape. This results in skin atrophy and the formation of fine lines.

Fine Wrinkles Caused by UV Rays

Collagen and elastin work to lift the skin from within, providing firmness and elasticity. However, UV rays damage these components. This damage causes the skin’s internal structure to sag, making it prone to developing large, deep wrinkles.

Fine Lines

Fine Lines Caused by Aging

As we age, collagen levels in the dermis decrease, and elastin—essential for skin firmness—deteriorates. This is the cause of so-called fine lines and sagging. Since collagen levels start declining in your late 20s, early care is crucial to maintain skin that is less prone to wrinkles.

Fine Lines Caused by Lifestyle Habits

Fine lines formed when you smile or squint to see something distant are sometimes called “expression lines.” We unconsciously make various facial expressions in daily life, with nasolabial folds and crow’s feet being prime examples.

Treatment Methods

Peeling

Leaving old keratin on the skin’s surface can cause various skin problems. Peeling promotes skin turnover, not only treating existing fine lines but also conditioning the skin to be less prone to developing them. At our clinic, we offer “Retinol Peel” and “Professional Peel”, as well as the collagen-boosting “Massage Peel”. We will recommend the peeling treatment that best suits your needs.

Fractional Needle RF

Fractional Needle RF is a treatment that improves fine wrinkles by inserting medical-grade micro-needles into the skin and applying RF (radiofrequency) energy. By creating tiny puncture wounds with the microneedles, it stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, promoting smooth regeneration of the skin’s surface. It also encourages the production of collagen and elastin, lifting the skin from within and leading to firmer, more elastic, youthful-looking skin. Our clinic offers the “Silfirm X” fractional needle RF system.

Botox Injections

Botox injections are medical injections using “botulinum toxin,” a substance produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. This cosmetic medical treatment blocks the connection between nerves and muscles, temporarily suppressing muscle movement to improve and prevent wrinkles, and achieve a slimmer facial appearance. Our clinic exclusively uses botulinum toxin manufactured by Allergan, Inc. of the United States, the only product approved in Japan. The procedure is performed by our director, who is highly experienced with botulinum toxin, ensuring you can receive treatment with confidence.

Sunekos Injection

Sunekos Injection is an anti-aging treatment featuring a special blend of hyaluronic acid and six amino acids for a natural finish. Its unique blend of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid and six amino acids acts as a skin-nurturing treatment that draws out the skin’s inherent regenerative power, promising improvement in fine lines (especially around the eyes and mouth). It is carefully injected using an ultra-fine 34G needle in a “hand-injected” hydrating injection style.
