Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but the type of wrinkle you have makes a big difference in which treatment works best. Wrinkles caused by facial movement (like frown lines and crow's feet) need a different approach than wrinkles caused by volume loss (like nasolabial folds). At Pêche Skin Clinic in Antwerp, we always start by identifying the type and cause of your wrinkles before recommending a treatment.
What causes wrinkles?
The main causes include:
- - Dynamic wrinkles (expression lines): caused by repeated muscle movement, such as frowning, smiling, or raising your eyebrows. This includes forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow's feet.
- - Static wrinkles (volume loss): caused by declining collagen and elastin as we age, which reduces volume and firmness in the skin. This includes nasolabial folds, wrinkles around the mouth, and upper lip lines.
- - Fine lines around the eyes: the skin around the eyes is thinner and more delicate, so fine lines tend to appear here first.
- - Sun damage and lifestyle: UV exposure, smoking, and dehydration significantly speed up the skin's aging process.
Wrinkle treatments tailored to you at Pêche Skin Clinic in Antwerp
Because dynamic and static wrinkles have different causes, they also respond best to different treatments.
For dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet, we use Muscle Relaxant (botox) to reduce the muscle activity causing the wrinkle. Read more about specific areas on our frown lines and crow's feet pages.
For static wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, lines around the mouth, and upper lip lines, we use Fillers to restore lost volume and soften the crease. Clinical research on hyaluronic acid fillers for nasolabial folds shows significant, lasting improvement.
To improve overall skin quality and fine lines, we use Profhilo or a Skinbooster, which hydrate the skin from within and improve elasticity.
For deeper, more structural signs of aging, we often combine treatments, such as Morpheus8 or HIFU (Ultraformer III), to stimulate the skin's own collagen production and improve firmness.
What results can you expect?
Botulinum toxin (Muscle Relaxant) is one of the most studied aesthetic treatments, with clinical research consistently showing good results for reducing dynamic wrinkles, with effects typically lasting 3 to 4 months. Fillers usually give an immediately visible result that, depending on the filler type and area, can last 6 to 18 months. We'll discuss which combination and outcome is realistic for your skin during your consultation.
Frequently asked questions
What professional treatments are available for deep wrinkles?
For deep wrinkles, a combination of treatments is usually most effective. This can include Muscle Relaxant for expression lines, Fillers to restore lost volume, and Morpheus8 or HIFU to firm the skin and stimulate collagen production. The right combination depends on where the wrinkles are and how deep they are, which we always assess during a free consultation.

How do filler and botox prices for wrinkles compare in Belgium?
Pricing depends on the type of treatment, the number of areas treated, and the amount of product needed. Muscle Relaxant and Fillers are typically priced per area or per ml. During your free consultation, we'll put together a tailored treatment plan with a clear price indication, so you know exactly what to expect before making a decision.
How can I effectively reduce wrinkles around my eyes?
Fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes (crow's feet) respond well to Muscle Relaxant, which reduces the muscle movement causing them. Topical retinoids can also soften fine lines around the eyes: clinical research shows measurable, if gradual, improvement with regular use. For faster, more noticeable results, we often combine this with an in-clinic treatment.
What are good wrinkle products for sensitive skin?
For sensitive skin, we recommend medical-grade products that are effective without irritating the skin barrier. We work with iS Clinical (medical-grade skincare) and Rebiome (natural skincare that strengthens the skin's microbiome). Our specialists are happy to give tailored product advice based on your skin type and sensitivity.
Can wrinkles be removed permanently?
No, no treatment removes wrinkles permanently, skin aging is an ongoing process. What we can offer is a combination of treatments that noticeably reduces wrinkles and keeps your skin looking firmer and younger for longer, with a maintenance plan tailored to your skin.
