Treatment for Fine Lines and Deepening Wrinkles in Marylebone, London
Treatment for fine lines and deepening wrinkles in Marylebone, London, led by Registered Nurse Helena Casales-Arregui. Whether a line only appears when you frown or has settled into the skin, treatment starts with an honest hour together and a plan that suits your face.
Overview
Understanding fine lines & deepening wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are creases in the skin that form as collagen and elastin decline and as facial muscles repeat the same movements for years. Dynamic lines appear only when you move: frown lines between the brows, forehead lines when you raise your eyebrows, crow's feet when you smile. Static lines are the ones that stay when your face is at rest.
Most people notice dynamic lines first, often in their late twenties or thirties. Over time, the fold that once vanished when you relaxed begins to leave a faint mark, and later a settled line. Skin quality matters here too: thinner, drier skin shows every crease more readily than well-hydrated skin does.
Helena treats the two types differently. Dynamic lines respond to anti-wrinkle injections, a prescription-only medicine provided only after a face-to-face consultation and prescription in line with NMC and MHRA requirements. Static lines and general skin texture tend to do better with skin-regenerating treatments such as Profhilo or polynucleotides, sequenced over a few months. Results vary between individuals.
Why it happens
What causes fine lines & deepening wrinkles?
- Repeated contraction of facial muscles when frowning, squinting or raising the brows
- Gradual loss of collagen and elastin in the dermis from the late twenties onwards
- Reduced skin hydration and thinning of the skin with age
- Cumulative sun exposure, which breaks down collagen faster
- Smoking and poor sleep, both of which slow skin repair
- Genetics: some skin types line earlier than others
Treatment approach
How does Helena treat fine lines and deepening wrinkles in Marylebone?
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
From £175For dynamic lines: frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. Anti-wrinkle injections are a prescription-only medicine, provided only after a face-to-face consultation and prescription in line with NMC and MHRA requirements. They soften the muscle movement that creases the skin, with a review at 2 weeks. From £175.
See treatment detail →Profhilo
From £400For static lines and skin that has lost its bounce. Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin from within and supports collagen and elastin. Two to three treatments 4 weeks apart, with maintenance at around 6 months. From £400.
See treatment detail →Polynucleotides
From £350For skin regeneration where lines sit in thinner, tired-looking skin, including around the eyes. Polynucleotides support the skin's own repair processes over a course of 3 to 6 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart. Allow at least 3 months to judge skin-regenerating treatments. From £350.

Common
questions
What is the difference between dynamic and static wrinkles?
Dynamic wrinkles appear only when you move your face, for example frown lines when you concentrate or crow's feet when you smile. Static wrinkles remain visible when your face is at rest. Dynamic lines usually respond well to anti-wrinkle injections. Static lines often need skin-regenerating treatments, and sometimes a combination of both approaches.
How soon will I see results from anti-wrinkle injections?
Most people notice the muscle movement softening within a few days, with the full effect at around 2 weeks. That is why Helena books a review at 2 weeks, so any adjustment can be made once the result has settled. The effect typically lasts 3 to 4 months. Results vary between individuals.
Will I still be able to move my face?
Yes. Helena's approach is natural-looking: the aim is to soften the movement that creases the skin while keeping your natural expression. Dosing is bespoke to your face and how strongly your muscles work. At the 2-week review you can talk through how it feels and whether anything should be adjusted.
Can static lines be treated without anti-wrinkle injections?
Often, yes. Lines that stay at rest usually reflect skin quality as much as muscle movement, so Helena may suggest Profhilo or polynucleotides to improve hydration, firmness and texture. These treatments work gradually and you should allow at least 3 months to judge them. Some people benefit from combining both approaches over time.
Do I need a consultation before treatment?
Yes. Every new client starts with an initial consultation of up to an hour, priced at £50. Helena takes a thorough medical history, listens to what bothers you and explains which treatments belong in your plan. Anti-wrinkle injections are a prescription-only medicine, so a face-to-face assessment and prescription are required before any treatment.
