Wrinkles
Wrinkles, the furrows in the skin associated with aging, are the result of reduced skin elasticity, firmness and hydration. Their formation is accentuated by factors such as stress, the sun and smoking. Various techniques, such as injections (hyaluronic acid, Radiesse®) or skin smoothing (laser, peels, Hydrafacial®), can be used to reduce their appearance.
Toxine botulique
L’injection de toxine botulique est une technique très populaire destinée à réduire les rides du visage. Les effets sont temporaires, les injections sont relativement rapides et elles ne nécessitent aucun temps de récupération.
Acide hyaluronique
L’acide hyaluronique injectable (HA) est un produit de comblement cutané temporaire. Il est utilisé pour réduire l’apparence des ridules et des rides, des plis du visage et pour créer du volume au niveau du visage et des lèvres. Les effets de l’acide hyaluronique injectable sont visibles immédiatement.
Traitement Radiesse®
Le Radiesse® est un matériau cosmétique injectable, utilisé pour remplir des zones spécifiques du visage. Il stimule le collagène naturel de votre corps, comble les rides à long terme et aide votre peau à développer de nouveaux collagènes au cours du processus.
Traitement Profhilo®
Le traitement Profhilo® utilise une technologie innovante d’acide hyaluronique de dernière génération pour hydrater et remettre sous tension la peau du visage et du corps en stimulant la production naturelle de collagène et d’élastine.
Skinboosters
Les injections de Skinboosters sont une solution facile et rapide pour améliorer la qualité et la texture de la peau. Cette procédure de rajeunissement de la peau est devenue de plus en plus courante ces dernières années, en raison de son efficacité et de ses résultats durables.
Laser CO2
Le laser CO2 est une technique non invasive qui permet de réduire les rides du visage et les irrégularités de la peau, telles que les imperfections ou les cicatrices d’acné. Le laser dirige des faisceaux lumineux concentrés sur la peau irrégulière, éliminant les zones sélectionnées couche par couche.
BodyTite® – Morpheus8®
La radiofréquence sous-cutanée est une technologie utilisant de la chaleur induite sous la peau par le biais d’une canule. Elle offre des améliorations esthétiques spectaculaires de la qualité de leur peau, sans chirurgie, sans cicatrices et avec des résultats immédiats.
Peelings
Les peelings offrent une solution efficace pour gommer les imperfections cutanées en favorisant l’exfoliation naturelle de l’épiderme et du derme. Ce traitement esthétique, en éliminant les couches superficielles de la peau, favorise le renouvellement cellulaire et la production de collagène, pour une peau plus lisse, éclatante et d’apparence plus jeune.
PRP visage
Le PRP Visage (plasma riche en plaquettes) est un traitement de médecine esthétique qui, grâce au propre sang du patient, permet de retrouver une peau tonifiée et éclatante. Cette solution est idéale si vous souhaitez rajeunir votre peau ou réduire vos citatrices de manière totalement naturelle.

Frequently asked questions
What is a wrinkle?
A wrinkle is characterized by the appearance of a fold or groove on the skin’s surface. As we age, our skin produces less and less collagen and elastin, which accelerates the appearance of wrinkles. Wrinkles, also known as static lines, are therefore often considered signs of aging, but they can appear much earlier.
Aging is not the only factor in the appearance of wrinkles. Expression lines, also known as dynamic wrinkles, are also very common. As the name suggests, an expression wrinkle appears as a result of repeated facial expressions over time. For example, smiling, frowning and even blinking trigger muscular contractions under the skin which, when frequently repeated, lead to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in these areas.
At what age do the first wrinkles appear?
The appearance of wrinkles is a natural phenomenon, but several factors can accentuate them. An accumulation of external and internal factors contribute to the formation of wrinkles.
Among internal factors,age is the most important. Aging leads to a loss of collagen and elastin, making the skin more susceptible to the appearance of wrinkles. Genetics, however, play a major role in influencing the onset and intensity of wrinkles. Stress and lifestyle, including lack of sleep andhydration, are also internal factors that have a significant influence on the appearance of wrinkles.
As far as external factors are concerned, exposure to the sun is the main cause, since UV rays damage collagen and elastin. Exposure to pollutants also creates oxidative damage that reinforces the appearance of wrinkles. Finally, lifestyle habits such as smoking,diet and even sleeping habits are all factors that accelerate skin ageing.
What's the difference between fine lines and wrinkles?
The first wrinkles can appear as early as the late twenties. These are initially expression lines, which gradually form forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet. In the early thirties, the skin gradually loses collagen and elastin, and dehydrates more rapidly, making wrinkles more visible. However, it’s from the late thirties onwards that wrinkles become more pronounced.
What factors influence the appearance of wrinkles?
Fine lines are superficial, fine lines that appear on the surface of the skin and are not very visible. They appear before wrinkles, and are often associated with early signs of sun damage or dehydration. Wrinkles, on the other hand, are deeper and more pronounced, developing in the dermis and appearing much later.
How to prevent wrinkles?
There are many ways to prevent the appearance of wrinkles. While these methods cannot fight gravity and maintain smooth skin indefinitely, they can help delay the appearance of wrinkles on the face as much as possible.
It is entirely possible to combat certain factors that encourage the appearance of wrinkles. To combat sun exposure, we strongly recommend that you use sun protection for your skin all year round: SPF 30 on a daily basis and SPF 50 for more intense sun exposure. In addition, it’s very important to apply the right skincare products to your skin: choose the right moisturizers and active ingredients for your skin type. Adopting a healthier lifestyle will also help delay the appearance of wrinkles, so remember to maintain a balanced diet and limit smoking and alcohol.
Finally, aesthetic medicine offers a number of treatments that help to correct existing wrinkles, while helping to prevent the appearance of new ones. At Claris Clinic, we offer a number of treatments to help prevent wrinkles. Botulinum toxin injections, for example, relax the muscles responsible for expression lines. There are also a number of treatments to stimulate collagen production and firm the skin, thereby reducing the formation of wrinkles.
How to choose the right anti-wrinkle treatment?
To choose the right anti-wrinkle treatment, it’s important to consider your goals and needs. The choice of treatment also depends on your type of wrinkles (superficial or deep), your skin type and your sensitivity. Your first consultation appointment will enable you to choose the right treatment from the various options we offer at Claris Clinic.
Are aesthetic treatments safe for reducing wrinkles?
Aesthetic treatments are carried out by qualified professionals at Claris Clinic, which is why they are generally safe. However, as with any medical treatment, there can be certain risks and side effects. These often include redness, swelling and even bruising, and in rare cases allergic reactions or infections. To avoid these, please observe the precautions and contraindications.
