As we age, changes occur in multiple layers of the face—not just on the surface. From muscle movement that creates dynamic lines, to volume loss beneath the skin, and finally the skin’s own declining quality, a one-size-fits-all approach won’t deliver the most natural, refreshed results.
At Dr. Anita Dhunna’s medical aesthetics clinics, treatments are carefully selected to target each layer of ageing using advanced, evidence-based techniques:
Botox for muscle movement, dermal fillers for volume loss, and polynucleotides to regenerate the skin itself.
Here’s how each treatment works, and why combining them can create the most harmonious, youthful appearance.
- Wrinkles from Muscle Movement – Treated with Botox
Over time, repeated facial expressions—such as frowning, raising eyebrows, or squinting—cause lines and wrinkles to form in areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes (commonly known as crow’s feet). These are known as dynamic wrinkles.
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a highly purified protein that temporarily relaxes the small muscles responsible for these expressions. When precisely injected, it softens the appearance of lines while still allowing for natural facial movement.
Benefits of Botox:
- Smooths fine lines and dynamic wrinkles
- Prevents deeper creases from forming
- Creates a refreshed, well-rested appearance
- Quick, non-invasive treatment with no downtime
- Volume Loss – Treated with Dermal Fillers
As we age, our face gradually loses volume in the fat pads, bone, and soft tissues—particularly around the eyes (tear troughs), cheeks, and mid-face. This can lead to a hollow, tired look and a loss of facial contour.
Dermal fillers, made from hyaluronic acid—a substance naturally found in the body—are used to replace lost volume, restore youthful curves, and support the overlying skin. In areas like the tear trough, fillers can lift and smooth the under-eye area, reducing shadows and a fatigued appearance.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers:
- Restore volume and structure
- Smooth under-eye hollows and folds
- Enhance facial harmony and balance
- Immediate results with little to no downtime
Dermal filler treatment at Dr. Anita Dhunna’s clinic is always bespoke—strategically placed to lift and support, rather than overfill or distort natural features.
- Skin Quality – Treated with Polynucleotides
The final piece of the puzzle is the skin itself. Over time, skin becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic due to a reduction in collagen, elastin, and hydration. To truly rejuvenate the skin—not just mask its condition—regenerative treatments are essential.
Polynucleotides are one of the most exciting advances in regenerative aesthetics. Derived from highly purified DNA fragments, they work by stimulating skin repair at a cellular level—boosting fibroblast activity, improving hydration, and encouraging collagen production.
How Polynucleotides Work:
- Repair and regenerate damaged skin cells
- Increase hydration and elasticity
- Calm inflammation and oxidative stress
- Improve tone, texture, and overall skin health
Polynucleotides are suitable for under-eye crepiness, dull skin, fine lines, and even sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. With a course of treatments, patients report visibly firmer, brighter, and more resilient skin.
A Layered, Holistic Approach
By understanding that facial ageing occurs in the muscles, fat pads, bone structure, and skin, Dr. Anita Dhunna tailors treatment plans to address each layer—ensuring natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Using:
- Botox to relax dynamic lines
- Dermal Fillers to restore lost volume
- Polynucleotides to regenerate and strengthen the skin
You achieve a beautifully refreshed, youthful appearance—without looking “done.”
