Age-based Treatments
What happens to the skin as it ages?
Age-based treatments are designed to address specific skin concerns and changes that occur as we age. Understanding the appropriate treatments for each age group can help achieve natural-looking results and restore confidence. If you have concerns about the signs of ageing, book a consultation with an experienced member of our team to get the information you need about your options.
Treatment in your 20s
In your early 20s, your skin is usually at its best with minimal signs of ageing. We rarely see fine lines with patients until later in their 20’s, and this is usually increased by sun damage or smoking. Popular treatments during this age include lip, brow lifts, forehead lines, crow’s feet treatment and facial slimming. Line reduction at this age usually requires minimal wrinkle management treatments.
We welcome patients in their 20s to schedule a consultation with a Cityskin clinician to learn more about their options.
Treatment in your 30s
During your 30s, fine lines and bags under the eyes become more noticeable, while volume loss in the cheeks may occur. Sun damage significantly increases ageing appearance during this period. However, a high-factor sunscreen can help reduce facial lines. The good news is studies have shown that people are more confident about their looks in their 30s compared to their 20s. Our aim is to build that confidence by showing off your best features.
Common treatment options for wrinkle management include addressing crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead lines, and facial slimming. Volume enhancement treatments can subtly correct the deepening of the nasolabial folds, and target cheek volume, under-eye bags, and marionette lines. Additionally, double-chin removal is a popular treatment to help reduce double-chin fat.

Treatment in your 40s
In your 40s, loss of volume becomes more apparent, leading to marionette lines, nasolabial folds and loss of cheek volume. The goal of wrinkle management treatments is to soften facial lines while maintaining a natural appearance. Rather than aiming to eliminate all lines, our focus is on helping you look refreshed and rested. Many of our clients in their 40’s have conveyed their eyes as a favourite personal feature, and the ageing process can sometimes make the upper eyelids appear heavy and more prominent. Our aim is to showcase your beautiful eyes by addressing frown lines and the area just below the eyebrows, which can lift the brow and open up your eyes.
We believe that cosmetic treatments should enhance your best features by reducing distractions. Crow’s feet, for instance, are not necessarily undesirable, but in some cases, they can draw attention away from other great features. Therefore, in your 40s, we often recommend softening crow’s feet to achieve a balanced and harmonious appearance.
When it comes to treating forehead lines, caution is advised. The forehead muscle is responsible for lifting the eyebrows, as you can observe in the mirror. Over-treating forehead lines can lead to a heavy or flattened eyebrow appearance, which is contrary to our goal. We strive to achieve a natural and balanced outcome, avoiding any unintended consequences.
Volume enhancement treatments can help correct volume loss in areas such as marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and cheek volume.

Treatment in your 50s
In your 50s, facial volume loss becomes more noticeable, resulting in marionette lines, nasolabial folds and loss of cheek volume. Lip lines and decreased lip volume are common. Deepening of crow’s feet, frown lines and forehead lines occurs. In our teenage years and 20s, the shape of our face resembles an inverted triangle, with volume at the top gradually tapering off towards the chin. However, as we age, the shape of our face changes. We tend to gain weight around the chin, jowls, and lower face, while losing volume from the cheeks. In your 50s, our treatment goals are centred around restoring the inverted triangle shape to the face and softening shadows that have formed in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
During consultations, we often ask patients to describe how they perceive their appearance. Patients in their 50s frequently express feelings of looking “sad” or “angry.” This sadness can often be attributed to the downturned corners of the mouth and the development of marionette lines. Our objective is for people to perceive you as rested and fresh, and our treatments are tailored towards achieving this outcome.
For addressing concerns about wrinkles using wrinkle management treatments, we focus on softening facial lines to create a refreshed look. Treating frown lines and the area below the eyebrows lifts the brow and opens up the eyes. While crow’s feet aren’t necessarily negative, reducing their prominence can enhance other features.
Caution is necessary when treating forehead lines to avoid a heavy or flattened appearance. The forehead muscle lifts the eyebrows, so over-treatment can have the opposite effect. We prioritise balance and a natural outcome. Wrinkle management treatments can also address upper lip lines and prevent mouth corners from downturn.
With volume enhancement treatments, we aim to address concerns about lost volume in a subtle and natural way, particularly in the marionette lines, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. Our goal is to re-establish the youthful, inverted triangle shape of your face.

Treatment in your 60s
Most of our advice and services for 50-year-old remains the same for clients in their 60’s.
By understanding the changes that occur with age, it is possible to choose appropriate treatments that enhance natural features, reduce the signs of ageing, and help individuals look refreshed and rested. At Cityskin clinics, we prioritise natural-looking results to ensure that no one guesses you have had cosmetic treatment. Our goal is to help you feel confident and receive compliments on looking good and refreshed.

TGA Guidelines
Following the new guidelines from the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Cityskin can no longer mention terms like “anti-wrinkle injections” and “dermal fillers”. This will include mentions to prescription medicines (products) used for treatment of wrinkles or concerns about the shape or volume of facial features.
Instead, here is how we can communicate:
Our expert practitioners can provide consultations about:
- Reducing the appearance of wrinkles
- Increasing the appearance of lip volume
- Improving the skin texture and tone
We’re making these changes for your wellbeing and offering free expert consultations with our practitioners so you can make an informed decision.
