Softening lines
Facial expressions and natural ageing contribute to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
The treatment of skin lines is a specialist, non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatment designed to gently relax specific facial muscles that cause expression lines and wrinkles. By temporarily reducing targeted muscle activity, these treatments help soften lines and create a smoother, more refreshed appearance—without changing your natural expressions. At Northern Sydney Dermatology & Laser, Skin Lines Support is performed by Dr Liz Dawes-Higgs, an experienced dermatologist in Sydney.
A consultation with Dr Liz is required to assess your individual concerns and determine your suitability for treatment. The longevity of results varies between individuals and treatment effects, gradually where off overtime.
How Do skin lines support treatments work?
Over time, repeated facial movements—such as frowning, squinting, and smiling—lead to the formation of lines and creases, especially on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. Skin Lines Support works by relaxing these muscles, allowing the overlying skin to rest and gradually appear smoother. Most treatments are quick and comfortable, taking just 10–15 minutes with minimal discomfort and no downtime. You’ll enjoy natural-looking results that leave you looking relaxed and refreshed.
