How to Treat Fine Lines and Wrinkles Effectively
As we age, maintaining smooth, youthful-looking skin can become more difficult due to the natural decrease in collagen, elastin, and hydration. Even with a healthy lifestyle and consistent skincare routine, fine lines and deeper wrinkles often begin to appear - most commonly on the face, neck, hands, and décolletage. These visible signs of ageing can be a concern for many seeking to restore skin firmness and luminosity. To help address these changes, we recommend a variety of advanced treatments available at the Institute of Dermatologists - most notably Secret PRO, a powerful, non-surgical solution that combines radiofrequency microneedling and fractional CO2 technology to resurface and rejuvenate the skin from within.
What is the Best Treatment for Lines & Wrinkles?
When it comes to treating lines and wrinkles, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The most effective approach depends on your skin type, age, lifestyle, and the depth of your wrinkles. That said, today’s advanced aesthetic treatments offer impressive, long-lasting results, here are some of the most effective options:
- Secret PRO: This cutting-edge treatment combines CO₂ laser resurfacing and radiofrequency microneedling in one powerful device. It works both on the surface and deep within the skin to stimulate collagen, smooth fine lines, and dramatically improve skin texture. Secret PRO is an excellent all-rounder for both early and advanced signs of ageing — and in our opinion, one of the most effective wrinkle treatments available today.
- PhilArt: PhilArt is a biostimulator, using polynucleotides to enhance skin quality by encouraging cellular regeneration. It’s ideal for improving elasticity, reducing fine lines, and giving the skin a refreshed, plump appearance. A great choice for those seeking a more natural, regenerative solution.
- Ultherapy: Using focused ultrasound energy, Ultherapy lifts and tightens the skin by stimulating deep layers of collagen production. It’s particularly effective for sagging and deeper wrinkles around the jawline, neck, and brow, all without surgery.
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin. By harnessing your body’s natural growth factors, PRP rejuvenates and plumps the skin, reducing fine lines and enhancing your skin's glow.
- Dermal Fillers: Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a popular, non-surgical way to restore facial volume, enhance contours, and smooth age-related lines. As a naturally occurring substance in the skin, HA helps to plump cheeks, lips, under-eyes, and more, reviving youthful structure and softness.
- Sculptra: Sculptra is a collagen-stimulating injectable that restores natural volume and structure over time for a subtle, long-lasting rejuvenation. Ideal for full-face treatment, it gradually improves mid-to-lower facial contours, with results that build over months and last over 18 months.
Each of these treatments can offer remarkable results, and in many cases, a combined approach delivers the best outcome. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a more transformative anti-aging plan, we recommend booking in for a Procedure Consultation to help determine which option is right for your skin.
Why Secret PRO is the Best Treatment for Wrinkles
Secret PRO is our gold-standard treatment for lines and wrinkles, offering unmatched results in skin rejuvenation. This advanced procedure combines two clinically proven technologies in one: CO₂ laser for precise skin resurfacing, and radiofrequency microneedling for powerful collagen remodeling beneath the surface. Together, they target both the visible signs of aging and the underlying causes, making it the most effective option we’ve seen for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and improving skin texture. Suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, Secret PRO delivers smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with lasting results.

Our no.1 product for visibly smoother, firmer skin is the Clinical Skin Retinol + Peptide Refining Serum.

Unlike traditional retinol products, this formula is thoughtfully balanced with gentle yet effective botanicals to reduce irritation while delivering clinical-level results. Hydrating and restorative, it leaves skin feeling soft, even, and rejuvenated, making it the ideal choice for anyone looking for a serum to treat lines and wrinkles.

Ideal for daily use, it enhances elasticity and luminosity, leaving skin visibly smoother, firmer, and more resilient.
