Fine lines & wrinkles: smooth them out without freezing the facial expression.
A cream stays on the surface. Fine lines form deeper down — and that’s exactly where you can build something up.

Does this sound familiar?
Perhaps you've been there:
That first fine line that doesn't quite disappear after you smile.
Foundation settles into the lines around the eyes, emphasising them rather than concealing them.
In the morning light, the lines seem deeper than you remember them.
You’ve been thinking about Botox — but you don’t want your face to lose its expressiveness.
You've tried serums containing all sorts of ingredients and noticed that there's little change on the surface.
In photos, you can see lines that you don’t even notice in everyday life.
What's really behind it
Why wrinkles form
Fine lines appear because, from the mid-20s onwards, the skin loses around 1–3% of its collagen each year and, at the same time, binds less hyaluronic acid. The supporting structure in the dermis becomes thinner and loses its firmness — fine lines appear on the surface long before deep wrinkles form. A simple moisturiser does not reach this depth.
What you see in the mirror is the result of years — not weeks. That’s exactly why it can’t be fixed overnight, but with the right approach, it can be achieved in a manageable number of steps.
What happens during this process
- Collagen and elastin are produced more slowly — the skin loses its firmness.
- hyaluronic acid thins out — it lacks the moisture that plumps up the skin from within.
- The dermis becomes thinner — making fine lines more visible.
What helps — and what doesn't
What helps against fine lines — and what doesn't
Creams and serums work on the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin. However, fine lines begin beneath this, in the dermis — where collagen is produced. Even a good serum therefore does little to address the actual cause at the surface.
What really makes a difference works at a deeper level: by boosting collagen production and improving skin density.
And what about Botox? Botox relaxes the muscle and smooths out expression lines — a different approach with a different aim. We, on the other hand, work with your body’s own collagen production. The skin becomes firmer and more resilient, whilst fine lines become less noticeable and take longer to form.
What we work with
How we treat fine lines
It’s rare for a single treatment to get rid of fine lines. We tailor our approach — depending on where your lines are and your skin type. Listed by their role:
Core treatments
RF · Deep heat · Volume
Volnewmer® RF
Monopolar deep heat stimulates new collagen production and restores the skin’s firmness — particularly for deeper lines such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Usually one session, with a touch-up once or twice a year; results develop over three to six months.
Find out more →RF Microneedling · Texture
Vivace® RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency delivered directly into the dermis — stimulates collagen and elastin simultaneously and refines the skin’s texture. Performed in a short series, with a gentle recovery period.
Find out more →Microneedling · Collagen
SkinPen® Precision
Purely mechanical collagen stimulation using fine needles — safe for all skin tones and a good starting point for treating the first fine lines.
Find out more →Peel · needle-free · no downtime
PRX-T33®
Needle-free biorevitalisation with no downtime — smooths fine lines and instantly leaves the skin looking fresher and firmer.
Find out more →Thulium laser · Surface
LaseMD Ultra™
For fine lines on the eye area, upper lip and forehead, as long as the contour is still correct. Reinvigorates the skin surface — for firming, we combine with Volnewmer® or Vivace®.
Find out more →In addition, depending on your skin type
- Fillmed NCTF® — 59 active ingredients plus hyaluronic acid delivered directly into the tissue. Makes the skin more resilient to further wrinkling from within.
- PolyPhil™ — Polynucleotides activate fibroblasts and help build up skin density over the long term.
- BioRePeel® — renews the skin’s surface without visible peeling and smooths out fine lines, with no downtime.
Always included
Dermalux™ LED is included in every facial treatment — red light stimulates fibroblasts and promotes regeneration.
The free AURA 3D skin analysis will show you which combination is right for your skin. We measure skin density and structure and reveal the causes of your lines — and this forms the basis of your personalised plan.

02
Your combination of treatments
We start with what your skin needs most — often microneedling or RF as a base, tailored to your skin type.
03
Care & Maintenance
Building up collagen takes time. We’ll support you over the coming months and provide targeted top-ups — no more often than necessary.
Why alestetics®
Specialising in skin quality, not in a particular machine.
Specialisation
Pre-Aging is our focus, not a line on the treatment list. Our team has the expertise required according to V-NISSG.
A system rather than a single device
Smoother skin is the result of the combination of devices, active ingredients and the correct sequence of steps — not just a single machine.
Honest advice
If there’s a reason why a treatment isn’t suitable for you, we’ll let you know — even if you don’t book anything today.
Frequently asked questions
You might be wondering
Am I too young or too old for a treatment for fine lines?
Fine lines can be treated at any stage — the sooner you start, the less effort it will take later on. We treat patients aged 18 and over; what matters is the condition of your skin, not your age.
Can you tell that I've had something done?
No. We stimulate your own collagen production, rather than freezing your facial expressions or adding volume from the outside. Your skin looks fresher and smoother — but you remain the same.
What is the difference between this and Botox?
„Botox“ is a brand name — the active ingredient behind it is botulinum toxin type A. It is injected into the muscle, where it temporarily blocks nerve signals, causing the muscle to relax and smoothing out expression lines. Botulinum toxin therefore acts on the muscle, not on the skin’s quality. We take a different approach and work on your own collagen production and skin density: fine lines become softer and form more slowly because the skin becomes more resilient from within.
Isn't a good serum enough to combat fine lines?
Serums work on the outermost layer of the skin, helping to smooth and nourish it. However, the cause of fine lines lies deeper, in the dermis, where collagen is produced. This is precisely where our treatments come into play — targeting a different area than any cream.
How soon will I see results, and how long will they last?
The first results are often visible after just a few weeks, with full collagen production taking three to six months. Volnewmer® generally lasts for a year or longer, whilst Vivace® lasts for around six months per session. With targeted touch-ups, the results remain stable.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on the treatment and your initial condition. Volnewmer® is usually effective after just one session, whilst microneedling treatments are carried out in a short course of sessions. We’ll discuss which option is best for you during the consultation.
How much does a treatment for fine lines cost?
This depends on the treatment and the area treated — you can find an overview on our Prices page →. Not ready for an on-site analysis just yet? Our Skin Quiz → gives you a quick overview in five minutes of which treatments are right for you — no appointment or email required.
