Recognising the Concern

Do You Notice These Changes?

Fine Lines Around Eyes & Mouth

Subtle creases appear when smiling or frowning, often deepening over time due to reduced collagen and repetitive facial movement.

Loss of Skin Firmness

Skin may feel less taut, especially around the cheeks and jawline, as elasticity naturally declines with age.

Expression Lines Becoming Permanent

Dynamic lines from facial expressions can remain visible even when the face is relaxed, giving a tired or aged appearance.

Texture & Smoothness Changes

Skin may appear less even and radiant, with dryness or roughness accentuating fine lines.

Understanding the Concern

What Causes Wrinkles and Fine Lines on the Face?

Wrinkles and fine lines can appear due to a range of natural and environmental factors, including:

  • Ageing – The skin produces less collagen and elastin over time, leading to reduced firmness and elasticity.
  • Repeated Facial Expressions – Movements such as frowning, smiling, or squinting gradually contribute to creases.
  • Sun Exposure – Ultraviolet (UV) rays accelerate skin ageing, breaking down collagen and elastin.
  • Lifestyle factors – Smoking, poor diet, and lack of hydration can affect skin quality.
  • Genetics – Some individuals are naturally more predisposed to early wrinkle formation.
  • Environmental stressors – Pollution and stress can impact skin health over time.

Treatment Options

Approaches We May Discuss

  • A non-surgical treatment for fine lines, early wrinkles and uneven skin texture on the face.
  • Ultra-fine needles create controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your skin’s own collagen and elastin production, gradually softening fine surface lines and improving firmness and texture.
  • Enriched with advanced serums, it suits early lines on the cheeks, around the eyes and across the forehead — with minimal downtime.

A non-invasive treatment using micro-focused ultrasound to stimulate collagen in the deeper foundational layers of facial skin. Ultherapy helps firm and lift areas where deeper folds and static wrinkles develop — the lower face, jawline and brow — improving skin tone progressively over the months after treatment. TGA-listed technology, performed in-clinic with no surgery and minimal recovery time for most patients.

Your Treating Doctor

Assessed by Dr. Joanna Teh

Dr. Teh has over 20 years of clinical experience in non-surgical cosmetic medicine (General & Specialist Registration – General Practice – MED0001531429). Every treatment plan begins with an in-person consultation to assess your skin and discuss suitable options.

Getting Started

Your Path to Consultation

Step 01

Book a Consultation

Schedule an in-person appointment with Dr. Teh or her clinical team to discuss your wrinkles and fine lines concerns in a confidential setting.

Step 02

Assessment & Discussion

Dr. Teh assesses your skin, discusses your goals and medical history, and explains the full range of options, risks, and alternatives available to you.

Step 03

Personalised Plan

If suitable, a tailored treatment plan is developed based on your individual skin condition, goals, and the depth of your concern.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Wrinkles form through a combination of declining collagen and elastin (the proteins that keep skin firm and springy), thousands of repetitions of normal facial expressions, and accumulated UV damage — which in Perth’s high-UV climate is often the largest single contributor.
  • Lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet and hydration, along with genetics, influence how early and how visibly lines appear.
  • Most faces show a mix of causes, which is why effective treatment starts with identifying which ones dominate in your skin.
  • Dynamic wrinkles (expression lines) appear with movement — frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet — and early on they fade when your face is at rest.
  • Static wrinkles are visible all the time: the skin has creased permanently, or deeper folds have formed as volume and elasticity decline.
  • The distinction matters because they respond to different treatments, and many people have both. Identifying which type dominates is one of the first things Dr Joanna Teh assesses at consultation.
  • No treatment can honestly promise complete removal, and we won’t claim otherwise.
  • Most treatments aim to soften the appearance of lines, improve skin texture and firmness, and slow further development.
  • The degree of improvement depends on the type and depth of your wrinkles, your skin quality and how it responds.
  • Dermedica’s approach is built on realistic expectations — you’ll be told what is achievable for your skin before any treatment begins.
  • Named options include ReFresh Microneedling (collagen stimulation for fine lines and texture), Ultherapy (micro-focused ultrasound lifting for deeper folds and laxity), laser resurfacing, medical-grade peels and other collagen-stimulating skin treatments.
  • These can complement or, in some cases, replace other medical treatments.
  • Some options cannot be described on our website due to TGA advertising regulations and are discussed personally at consultation, where the full range suitable for your skin is explained.
  • It depends on your wrinkle type (dynamic, fine surface or deeper folds), the areas affected, your skin quality, downtime tolerance and budget — too many variables for any website to answer reliably.
  • A medical consultation resolves it: Dr Joanna Teh examines your skin, identifies what is driving your lines, and recommends a plan in order of impact.
  • Many patients are surprised that the best starting point isn’t the treatment they came in asking about.
  • When performed by qualified practitioners using TGA-approved products and devices, these treatments have well-established safety profiles.
  • Every treatment carries some risk, which is why your suitability, medical history and any contraindications are assessed at consultation before anything is recommended — and why all Dermedica treatments are performed under the guidance of a registered medical doctor with informed consent as a standing requirement.
  • Collagen-stimulating treatments such as microneedling typically work as a series of sessions, with improvement building over two to six months as new collagen forms.
  • Ultherapy is usually a single session with progressive results over several months, lasting a year or more for many patients.
  • Exact numbers and durations depend on your skin and the plan recommended — Dr Teh will map out sessions, timing and realistic longevity at consultation. Individual results vary.
  • It varies by procedure. Microneedling and most collagen-stimulating treatments involve a day or two of redness; Ultherapy typically allows a return to normal activities the same day; deeper laser resurfacing involves several days of recovery planned around your schedule.
  • Whatever your plan includes, the downtime is explained clearly before you decide — no surprises.
  • There is no fixed age — treatment is tailored to adults at any stage of visible ageing, from early prevention to established lines, with suitability depending on your skin and overall health.
  • Whatever your starting point, maintenance is the same: daily broad-spectrum SPF 50+ (the single biggest factor in Perth), a consistent skincare routine, not smoking, and periodic maintenance treatments as recommended.
  • Protecting your results costs far less than re-treating.
  • Dr Joanna Teh (General and Specialist Registration – General Practice – MED0001531429) assesses your wrinkle types, skin quality and the balance of movement, volume and sun damage driving your lines — then distinguishes what will genuinely help from what won’t. 
  • You’ll leave with a clear explanation of what is happening in your skin and a staged plan — collagen-stimulating, resurfacing or lifting treatments where appropriate, and medical options discussed where relevant — at our clinic in Scarborough, Perth, with no obligation to proceed.
