Soft, smooth skin

One of the first places ageing shows is in the skin, plump, smooth, wrinkle free skin enjoyed in younger years soon becomes thin, soft and saggy.

Australia’s baby boomer generation are realising how lying in the sun in their youth has caused skin damage ranging from sunspots and wrinkles to premature ageing.

Doctors and nurses at Ashbury Cosmetic Surgery have treated thousands of patients from all walks of life.

Skin sometimes needs something more substantial to correct sun damage such as a chemical peel or laser treatment.

Treating wrinkles depends on how deep they are and whether they are static or dynamic.

Dynamic wrinkles include expression lines such as frown lines, crow’s feet or horizontal lines on the forehead or neck can be treated with botulinum toxin BTX-According to Ashbury’s Doctor James Chen.

“This stops the muscle that produces the line,” he said. “It obstructs the nerve from sending a message to the muscle to move.”

Static wrinkles can be filled using various dermal fillers, which are effective with most treatments taking 20 – 30 minutes.

Dr Chen said Ashbury dermal filler has been specially designed for correction of favial contour deformities due to ageing, acne, trauma, surgery and can be used for cheekbones, smile lines, lip augmentation, frown lines, depressed corners of the mouth, chin and scars.
