What you might be noticing

Lines between the brows that make you look cross or tired. Horizontal lines across your forehead and neck. Fine creases at the corner of the eyes when you smile, which start to linger. Makeup may settle into lines, and they can look deeper in photos or under harsh light.

Why it happens

There are two kinds of line. Dynamic lines form when muscles contract, such as frowning or squinting. Over years, repeated movement creases the skin and you form Static lines. These stay visible at rest. They appear as collagen and elastic in the skin decline, from about 1% a year from your mid-twenties.  Sun exposure, smoking, poor sleep and genetics speed this up.

How we assess it

Every treatment plan at Palmeira Clinic in Brighton and Hove starts with a consultation with our medical team, in three steps:

Your concerns and goals

We listen to what’s bothering you and what you’d like to achieve.

A thorough assessment

We review you medical history and examine your skin and features to understand the cause.

Honest advice

We explain what may help, what won’t, and any risks, so you can decide without pressure.

Treatments we may discuss

Depending on your assessment, your clinician may talk you through one or more of the options below. Not every option suits everyone, and we’ll only recommend treatment where we think it’s appropriate.

  • Lines & Wrinkles Consultation

  • Sunekos®

  • Dermal Fillers

  • Microneedling and Exosomes

  • Bespoke Medical Skincare

What you can do at home

  • Wear SPF 30 or higher every day, all year round, even if you are indoors or it’s a cloudy day. UV is the single biggest driver of early lines.
  • Use a retinoid if your are suitable. Vitamin A products are among the best-researched ingredients for fine lines. Start slowly, and avoid in pregnancy.
  • Keep skin hydrated with a moisturise suited to your skin type.
  • Wear sunglasses to reduce squinting and protect the delicate skin around your eyes.
  • Don’t smoke (or vape), and prioritise sleep. Both make a visible difference to skin over time.
  • Sleep on your back if you can.

Frequently Asked Questions

Both. Daily SPF and good skincare slow new lines forming. Treatment started earlier can stop dynamic lines becoming deeper static ones.

Often, yes. Fine lines may respond to skin-quality treatments, while deeper folds may need volume support. Many people benefit from a combination.

Fine lines and texture can often be improved with medical-grade skincare, chemical peels, microneedling and laser treatments. Deeper lines may need a different approach. Your clinician will talk you through the options at your consultation.

Book a consultation. We’ll assess your skin, review your medical history and explain the options that may be suitable, including their risks and alternatives, so you can decide in your own time.

There’s no right age to start caring for your skin, and many people in their twenties and thirties come to us for advice. Often the best first step is prevention: daily SPF, a good skincare routine and healthy habits. If you’re considering treatment, we’ll assess whether it is appropriate for you and we’ll always tell you is we don’t think you need it. However, be aware, we only treat adults aged 18 and over.
