Most people don’t notice fine lines straight away. It’s usually a photo, a mirror in harsh lighting, or a tired morning glance that makes you pause.
A faint crease across the forehead. Lines around the eyes that don’t disappear anymore. Skin that feels thinner, less smooth.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. At Treeline Aesthetics, this is one of the most common reasons people across Lincolnshire, Nottingham and Sheffield start exploring facial aesthetic treatments, not because they want to look different, but because they want to feel refreshed again.
Why Do Fine Lines and Wrinkles Happen?
Fine lines and wrinkles develop for a mix of reasons. Some you can control. Others, less so.
The most common causes include:
- Natural ageing – collagen and elastin production slows over time
- Repeated facial expressions – smiling, frowning, squinting
- Sun exposure – UV damage breaks down skin structure
- Stress and lifestyle – poor sleep, dehydration, smoking
- Loss of skin hydration – skin becomes thinner and less resilient
Over time, what starts as movement lines becomes etched into the skin.
Why do wrinkles suddenly look worse?
Wrinkles often appear more noticeable during periods of stress, illness, poor sleep, or dehydration. Skin loses temporary plumpness, making lines more visible.
What Are the Best Treatments for Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
There’s no single “best” treatment, because not all lines are the same. At Treeline Aesthetics, we look at how the wrinkle forms, not just where it sits.
Here are the most effective treatment options we use.
Anti-Wrinkle Injection
These treatments relax the muscles that cause expression lines, particularly:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
They work best for dynamic wrinkles, lines caused by movement.
Benefits:
- Softens lines without freezing expression
- Prevents deeper wrinkles forming
- Results last around 3 – 4 months
Skin Boosters (Including Profhilo)
Skin boosters work within the skin, not the muscle.
They are ideal for:
- Fine lines caused by dehydration
- Crepey or thinning skin
- Dull, tired-looking complexion
Benefits:
- Deep hydration
- Improved elasticity
- Smoother texture over time
Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating tiny controlled micro-injuries in the skin.
Best for:
- Fine static lines
- Texture issues
- Early ageing signs
Benefits:
- Improves skin structure
- Reduces fine lines gradually
- Strengthens skin long-term
Chemical Peels
Peels remove dead skin cells and encourage new skin turnover.
Best for:
- Superficial fine lines
- Sun damage
- Uneven texture
Benefits:
- Brighter skin
- Smoother surface
- Helps skincare work better
What is the safest treatment for fine lines?
Safety depends on correct assessment and clinician experience. Anti-wrinkle injections, skin boosters, microneedling, and peels are all safe when delivered by medically trained professionals.

Fine lines don’t mean you need dramatic change. Often, they’re simply your skin asking for support, hydration, collagen, or muscle relaxation.
The right treatment, done gently, can make you look like yourself again. Just better rested.
