Explore why these issues happen and how and how we help patients address them using treatments that we know work.
Everyone’s skin tells a different story. And when patients come to the Anti Wrinkle Clinic, our goal is to ensure your skin’s next chapter is its best one yet. While everyone’s skin concerns and goals are unique, there are certain issues that tend to show up time and time again. At our clinic, the three skin concerns we’re most often asked to help with are:
These issues can affect anyone, and they aren’t just signs or results of aging – they’re signals of what’s happening beneath the skin’s surface. The good news is that with the right understanding and approach, these concerns can be improved safely and effectively with aesthetic medicine.
Let’s explore why these issues happen and how we help patients address them using treatments that we know work – and that we offer right here at the clinic.
Fine lines and wrinkles are perhaps the most common skin concern we get asked about. They form over time due to a combination of repeated facial expressions (dynamic wrinkles), natural collagen loss, sun exposure, environmental damage, and skin dehydration. From your late 20s onward, collagen production slows down and the skin begins to lose elasticity. As a result, lines begin to form around the eyes, forehead, mouth, and neck – and over time, they deepen into more visible wrinkles.
If you’re trying to figure out how to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines, we offer several highly effective treatments that work with your skin’s biology:
Anti-Wrinkle Injections: These are ideal for softening dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement – such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Results are natural-looking and typically last 3–6 months.
Viscoderm Hydrobooster: This injectable skin booster helps smooth fine lines in areas prone to movement, including the forehead and around the eyes. It provides deep hydration while improving elasticity and surface texture without altering expression.
Microneedling: This technique uses controlled micro-injuries to prompt collagen renewal, improving the texture and firmness of the skin while softening the appearance of fine lines.
By combining these treatments where appropriate, we can target both the surface signs and underlying causes of wrinkle formation.
Over time, everyone’s skin gradually loses its firmness due to a natural decline in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These are the three key components that give skin its structure and bounce. This loss is most noticeable in the lower face (cheeks, jawline, neck) and can be worsened by sun damage, weight fluctuations, and lifestyle factors.
If you’re concerned about sagging or loose skin, we focus on skin tightening solutions that rebuild strength and elasticity from within. Treatments include:
Sculptra: A powerful collagen stimulator that works over several months to improve volume and tightness in areas affected by skin laxity. It’s ideal for skin tightening in the cheeks, temples, jawline, and other areas showing signs of deflation or sag.
Profhilo and Profhilo Structura: In addition to providing deep hydration, Profhilo stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin, offering a mild lifting effect. Profhilo Structura is a more targeted formulation designed to enhance firmness and structure, addressing laxity and volume loss without the heaviness of fillers.
Polynucleotides: Particularly effective for skin that appears thin or weak, Polynucleotides strengthen the extracellular matrix and help restore skin resilience and firmness.
Each of these treatments offers a regenerative approach to skin tightening, meaning they help the body rebuild rather than simply filling or masking the problem.
While most people often associate dark circles under eyes with tiredness, the real cause is far more complex and can result from multiple overlapping factors. In many patients, dark circles are the result of thinning skin and loss of volume at the tear troughs, which creates those unwanted shadows. Other causes include poor circulation, fluid retention, pigmentation, and even genetics. Stress, fatigue, and dehydration can worsen their appearance.
At the Anti Wrinkle Clinic, we always begin with an individual assessment to understand what’s contributing to the appearance of dark circles under eyes. Depending on your needs, we may recommend:
Polynucleotides: These regenerative injectables work brilliantly for improving under-eye quality, thickening the skin, and reducing inflammation and dark shadows. They’re particularly helpful when skin thinning and sagging are the root cause.
Sunekos: A combination of hyaluronic acid and amino acids that targets early volume loss and brightens the eye area. Ideal for patients who want to improve elasticity and smoothness without adding heaviness.
Dermal Fillers (Tear Trough Treatment): Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can restore lost volume in the tear troughs and reduce hollowing that causes shadowing. We typically recommend this treatment after improving skin quality with either Polynucleotides or Sunekos. By first addressing hydration, elasticity, and pigmentation, we create a healthier foundation – making filler placement safer, more natural-looking, and longer lasting.
Results vary from person to person, but most patients experience visible improvements in brightness, texture, and tone after a series of treatments. Many patients try to fix this issue with eye creams, but if the underlying issue is structural, no topical product will lift or brighten that area effectively.
While these are the three most common concerns we see at the Anti Wrinkle Clinic, we also treat a wide range of other skin issues, including:
Whatever your skin concerns, we’ll help you find the targeted treatments to address them directly.
Remember, every skin concern has its own story, and no two faces age in exactly the same way. That’s why Dr Yiannis offers a full 60-minute Face-to-face consultation before any treatment is even booked. During this hour, he’ll take time to understand the root cause of your concern – not just what’s visible on the surface – and then create a tailored plan using only the most effective injectable and regenerative treatments.
