Lines & wrinkles consultations in Maidenhead
Lines are a normal part of a changing face. A line that appears when you smile or frown can raise different questions from a crease visible at rest. Skin texture, facial proportions and previous procedures also matter, so a treatment name is not a diagnosis.
At The Institute of Skin, we discuss what you have noticed, how long it has concerned you and what you would like to understand. Your assessment considers facial movement and skin condition alongside your health history, medicines and previous treatments.
You do not need to choose a procedure before booking. Our Harley Street-trained specialist in medical aesthetics explains the options, their limitations and whether further assessment is needed. You can decide to wait or have no treatment.

The assessment guides the choice
These options address different concerns and are discussed only when appropriate. A consultation may lead to advice, further assessment or no procedure.
Discuss your routine, sensitivity and whether a facial fits your priorities. A facial has a different purpose from a treatment aimed at facial volume or movement.
Facials in MaidenheadMicroneedling and chemical peels may be discussed for selected texture concerns. Their suitability, recovery and risks differ; neither is automatically the right choice for a line you can see.
Understand microneedlingSkin boosters are another conversation about skin quality, with product-specific evidence and limitations. They are not interchangeable with fillers or a substitute for assessment.
Compare skin boostersWhen a fold relates to volume or facial structure, the discussion may include dermal filler. Filler has its own risks and does not address every type of line.
Understand dermal fillersBefore you decide
A consultation does not guarantee that treatment will be offered. If a prescription-only option is considered, a separate assessment by an appropriately qualified prescriber is required. Your medical history, medicines and individual circumstances guide that decision.
