What are anti-ageing treatments?

Anti ageing treatments are medical and aesthetic procedures that aim to soften visible signs of ageing such as lines, sagging, dullness and pigmentation. They support the skin from within by working on collagen, elastin, hydration and facial structure, rather than only “covering up” concerns.

For many people in Mumbai, anti-ageing treatment is less about looking 20 years younger and more about looking rested, fresher and well groomed for their age. At The Bombay Skin Clinic, our focus is on natural-looking, doctor-planned results that respect your facial expressions and individual features.

How ageing shows up on Indian skin

Indian skin often ages differently compared to very fair skin types. There is usually more tanning, pigmentation and uneven tone, along with lines, under-eye hollowing and jawline changes. Long commutes, late hours, pollution and high UV index in Mumbai can speed up these changes.

• Fine lines around the eyes and forehead from expressions and screen time
• Deeper folds around the mouth, nose to mouth lines and downturned corners of the lips
• Loss of cheek volume, under-eye hollows and a “tired” look
• Sun spots, melasma patches and dull, rough texture

Clinic-based anti-ageing treatments vs home care

Home care with sunscreen, moisturiser, prescription creams and lifestyle changes is essential. Clinic-based anti-ageing treatments work in addition to this. They can reach deeper layers of skin and underlying structures through injectables, devices and targeted peels, where topical products alone cannot reach in the same way.

We usually combine both: a medical-grade skincare plan to maintain results daily, plus in-clinic anti-ageing treatments in Mumbai planned at safe intervals by our dermatologists.

Benefits of modern anti-ageing treatments

Key advantages of non-surgical anti-ageing treatments

Most of the anti-ageing options we use are non-surgical or minimally invasive. When planned correctly, they can offer:

• Gradual, natural-looking softening of lines and folds
• Better facial proportions and support, not just “puffed” cheeks
• Improved tone, glow and texture in face, neck and hands
• Shorter downtime compared with surgery in suitable cases
• Flexible, step-by-step plans that can be adjusted as you age

Face, neck and under-eye areas we commonly treat

Anti ageing treatment at The Bombay Skin Clinic is not limited to the cheeks. We frequently work on:

• Forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet
• Under-eye hollows, dark-looking grooves and fine creases
• Midface and cheek volume, smile lines and marionette lines
• Jawline, chin definition and early jowls
• Neck bands, crêpey skin and sun-exposed areas like hands

During your consultation, we map the whole face and neck, so that any treatment plan supports your overall appearance rather than correcting one line in isolation.

Skin and ageing concerns we treat at The Bombay Skin Clinic

Fine lines, dynamic wrinkles and expression lines

Dynamic wrinkles are lines that appear on movement, such as frowning or squinting. Over time, they may become visible even at rest. Well-studied treatments such as botulinum toxin type A injections can reduce these lines by temporarily relaxing specific muscles that create wrinkles.[1][2]

We use careful mapping and conservative doses so that you continue to look like yourself, without a frozen look.

Volume loss, sagging and tired facial appearance

Ageing leads to changes in fat pads, bone support and skin elasticity. This can cause flattened cheeks, under-eye hollows and a heavier lower face. Hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers and collagen-stimulating treatments can help restore support in key zones when used by trained injectors.[3]

Our focus is on lifting and balancing, not simply chasing every line with filler.

Uneven tone, sun damage and age spots

Mumbai’s strong sunlight, combined with pollution and hormonal factors, can trigger pigmentation and sun damage. This may show up as tan lines, melasma patches, freckles or age spots.

We combine prescription creams, sunscreen, chemical peels, laser toning and lifestyle counselling to help even out tone. The exact plan depends on whether the pigmentation is epidermal, dermal or mixed, and how sensitive your skin is.[4]

Texture issues: enlarged pores, roughness and acne marks

Many patients carry old acne marks, enlarged pores or general dullness into their 30s and 40s. Microneedling, resurfacing lasers and certain peels can stimulate collagen and remodel superficial scars and texture.[5]

For Indian skin types, we use protocols designed to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation by controlling depth, energy and aftercare.

How do anti-ageing treatments work on the skin?

Relaxing overactive muscles (anti wrinkle injections)

Botulinum toxin injections work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to selected muscles. When those muscles relax, the overlying skin creases less, and lines soften over a period of days.[1][2] Effects are temporary and usually last several months before gradually wearing off.

At The Bombay Skin Clinic, these injections are performed only by trained doctors after a full medical history and facial assessment.

Replacing lost volume and contour (dermal fillers)

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected under the skin to restore volume or enhance contours. Most modern fillers used for anti-ageing are made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the skin.[3][6]

They can:

• Lift flattened cheeks and soften deep folds
• Improve under-eye hollows when chosen correctly
• Sharpen jawline and chin definition
• Gently enhance lip shape and structure

Results are temporary and depend on the type of filler, area treated and individual metabolism.

Stimulating collagen and elastin (microneedling, PRF, lasers)

Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s healing response and new collagen formation.[5] When done with proper depth and technique, microneedling can help improve fine lines, scars and overall texture over multiple sessions.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) use components from your own blood. Growth factors from platelets may support skin quality, texture and hydration. Evidence suggests that PRP and PRF can be helpful as part of a broader facial rejuvenation plan, but results can vary and the quality of studies is still evolving.[7]

Lasers and light-based devices work by delivering focused energy into the skin to remodel collagen and target pigment. Ablative and non-ablative lasers have different levels of downtime and effect, and are chosen based on concern and tolerance.[4][8]

Resurfacing and brightening the skin (peels, laser facials, medi facials)

Chemical peels use controlled application of acids to remove the upper skin layers and stimulate regeneration. In Indian patients, guidelines recommend careful agent selection, priming and sun protection to reduce risks such as hyperpigmentation.[4]

Medi facials and laser facials at our clinic are protocol-based treatments that may combine gentle exfoliation, hydration, light-based steps and soothing masks. They are not regular parlour facials and are customised by our dermatology team based on skin type and season.

Supportive wellness therapies (IV drips, lifestyle and skincare)

In selected patients, we may discuss evidence-based wellness support such as IV nutrition, oral supplements, stress management and sleep hygiene. For most people, these are supportive measures and not stand-alone solutions for deep lines or sagging.

We position such therapies as adjuncts to a solid foundation of skincare, sun protection and medically planned anti-ageing treatments, not as quick fixes.

Types of non-surgical anti-ageing treatments we offer in Mumbai

Anti wrinkle injections for lines on the forehead and around the eyes

Anti wrinkle injections are commonly used for forehead lines, frown lines and crow’s feet. Large reviews show that botulinum toxin type A can reduce facial wrinkles for several months when used appropriately.[1][2]

In our clinics, we:

• Assess muscle strength and brow position in detail
• Use conservative dosing initially, with the option of a touch-up visit
• Plan maintenance sessions a few times a year if you wish to continue

Dermal fillers for cheeks, jawline, lips and under-eye hollows

Dermal fillers can help restore balance and support to the face. Authoritative bodies advise that fillers should only be injected by trained medical professionals, using approved products, due to risks such as infection and vascular complications.[3][6]

We use fillers to:

• Rebuild midface support so that the lower face looks lighter
• Improve under-eye grooves when anatomy and skin quality allow
• Define chin and jawline to improve profile

The aim is subtle improvement, allowing you to still look like yourself on and off camera.

Skin tightening treatments (HIFU and other energy-based devices)

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) delivers focused energy to deeper layers of the skin and supporting tissues. Studies suggest that HIFU can improve facial and neck laxity with an acceptable safety profile when used correctly.[9]

These sessions are usually spaced out and can be useful for people with mild to moderate sagging who wish to avoid or delay surgical lifting. Sensation levels vary, and we discuss comfort options before starting.

Collagen stimulation with microneedling, PRF and exosome therapy

Microneedling-based protocols are often used for texture, pores and early fine lines. A systematic review positions microneedling as a helpful option for scars and wrinkles, though technique and aftercare are crucial.[5]

PRF and exosome-based treatments are emerging tools that may help skin quality and recovery. Current evidence for these is promising but still developing, so we usually describe them as supportive additions rather than stand-alone anti-ageing solutions.[7]

Laser and light-based anti-ageing treatments

Laser resurfacing and non-ablative lasers can be used to address fine lines, pigment and texture. A meta-analysis comparing ablative and non-ablative lasers suggests that while ablative lasers may give stronger results, they also carry higher downtime and risk.[8]

For Indian skin, we often favour fractionated and non-ablative approaches, or staged combination plans, to balance improvement with safety.

Chemical peels and medi facials for glow and texture

Superficial to medium-depth peels can help with photoageing, mild wrinkles and pigmentary problems when performed by trained dermatologists following guidelines.[4]

Medi facials at our clinic are designed for:

• Office-goers who need low-downtime brightening
• Event-prep plans that support, not replace, injectables and devices
• Maintenance between larger anti-ageing sessions

Adjunct IV and drip therapies for skin and overall wellness

Certain IV or drip therapies may be discussed as part of broader wellness, especially in people with specific deficiencies or lifestyle stressors. The evidence for many aesthetic drips is still mixed, so we treat them as optional add-ons, not core anti-ageing treatments.

Any IV plan at The Bombay Skin Clinic is overseen by a doctor, with appropriate screening and monitoring protocols.

Who is a good candidate for anti-ageing treatment in Mumbai?

Who may benefit from anti-ageing treatments

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Notice lines at rest, not just on expression
• Feel your face looks tired, angry or sad even when you feel fine
• Have early sagging or loss of definition along the jawline
• Struggle with pigmentation, tanning or dullness despite good skincare
• Are willing to follow sun protection and aftercare advice

Some younger patients in their late 20s or 30s seek early, conservative treatments to slow down visible changes. Others may start in their 40s, 50s or later to restore lost volume and firmness. The plan will differ based on age, skin type and lifestyle.

Who may need to postpone or avoid treatment

Certain situations need extra caution or complete avoidance. These include:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding for many injectable and device-based procedures
• Active skin infections, eczema flare-ups or open wounds in the treatment area
• Uncontrolled medical conditions such as diabetes, bleeding disorders or autoimmune diseases
• History of severe allergies, keloids or very poor wound healing
• Unrealistic expectations or pressure for dramatic change before a specific date

In such cases, our dermatologists may either delay treatment, modify the plan, or focus only on skincare and supportive therapies.

Age ranges and life stages we typically see

We see a wide age range across our South Mumbai, Bandra, Andheri and Chembur branches:

• Late 20s to mid-30s: focus on prevention, glow, early line softening and sun damage repair
• Late 30s to 40s: combination of line relaxing, volume support and collagen stimulation
• 50s and beyond: more structural support, skin tightening and tailored pigment control

There is no “right” age. A face-to-face assessment helps us decide how conservative or intensive the plan should be for your current life stage.

Session plan and comfort – what to expect at your visit

Your first anti-ageing consultation at our Mumbai clinics

Your first visit focuses on understanding your concerns and priorities. We typically:

• Take a detailed medical and medication history
• Discuss lifestyle patterns such as sun exposure, sleep and stress
• Review any previous treatments or products used

We then suggest a phased plan, so that you can decide what to do first and what to defer.

Assessment: skin analysis and treatment planning

Skin analysis tools help us track changes over time. We explain which areas will benefit most from injectables, lasers, peels or skincare, and where we recommend restraint.

Your anti-ageing plan may combine small, subtle corrections across the face rather than a single aggressive procedure.

How long a typical anti-ageing treatment session takes

Session duration depends on the procedure:

• Anti wrinkle injections: around 15 to 30 minutes in most cases
• Dermal fillers: 30 to 60 minutes depending on areas treated
• Peels and medi facials: around 30 to 60 minutes
• HIFU or laser sessions: 45 to 90 minutes, sometimes longer for full-face work

We advise arriving a little early so that numbing cream and consent can be completed without rush.

How many sessions you may need and how often

The number of sessions depends on the concern:

• Anti wrinkle injections and certain fillers are usually done a few times a year, depending on the product and your preference
• Microneedling, peels and laser toning are commonly planned in short series, such as three to six sessions, spaced a few weeks apart
• HIFU may be done once a year or less often in suitable cases, with review visits in between

We review your response after each phase and adjust the plan rather than locking you into rigid packages.

Downtime, recovery and when you can return to work or events

Immediate after-effects: redness, swelling and marks

Most non-surgical anti-ageing treatments have short-lived, predictable after-effects such as:

• Mild redness and swelling at injection or laser sites
• Tiny needle marks or pinprick spots after injectables or microneedling
• A feeling of tightness or warmth after energy-based devices

These usually settle over hours to a few days. We give you written aftercare so you know what is expected and what is not.

Office downtime vs “social downtime” to plan for

Many patients can return to desk work the same or next day after injectables, mild peels or medi facials. However, “social downtime” may be longer if you wish to wait for bruising or peeling to settle before events or photography.

For stronger peels, resurfacing lasers or combination sessions, we will advise a more cautious buffer period, especially around important functions or travel.

When you can resume skincare, makeup and gym

As a general rule:

• Makeup may be restarted after a specified interval once the skin barrier is intact
• Active creams (retinoids, exfoliating acids) are reintroduced gradually
• Heavy workouts, saunas and swimming are often avoided for a short time to reduce swelling, bruising or infection risk

Exact timelines vary with the procedure and will be shared on your discharge sheet.

Results: what is realistic and when will you see changes?

Typical timelines for injectables, lasers and collagen treatments

Different anti-ageing treatments show results on different timelines:

• Anti wrinkle injections: softening of lines can start within days, with peak effect in a couple of weeks.[1][2]
• Fillers: many patients notice immediate structural change, with final settling over a couple of weeks.[3][6]
• Lasers, microneedling and PRP/PRF: collagen takes weeks to months to remodel, so improvements in texture and firmness are usually gradual.[5][7][8]

How long anti-ageing results usually last

Duration varies based on product, area and individual factors:

• Anti wrinkle injections often last a few months before gradually wearing off
• Hyaluronic acid fillers may last from several months up to over a year, depending on type and placement
• Collagen-stimulating treatments provide slower but longer-term texture and firmness benefits, which then age naturally with you

We plan review visits so that you can decide when and what you wish to maintain.

Maintenance plans and review visits

Most patients prefer staged maintenance rather than large corrections after long gaps. A typical maintenance plan might include:

• Review visits once or twice a year for injectables, with small top-ups if needed
• Quarterly or seasonal peels or medi facials for glow and pigment control
• Yearly reassessment of device-based treatments such as HIFU or lasers

We adapt this to your life events, budget and tolerance for downtime.

Factors that influence your final outcome

Outcomes depend on:

• Your baseline skin quality, anatomy and degree of ageing
• Consistency with sun protection and skincare
• Lifestyle factors such as smoking, stress and sleep
• Medical conditions and medications

Our goal is to help you age in a more controlled and graceful way, not to promise a specific number of “years younger”.

Comparing anti-ageing options: injectables, devices and skin treatments

Anti wrinkle injections vs dermal fillers

Anti wrinkle injections work on muscle movement. They are best for lines caused by repeated expressions, such as frown lines and crow’s feet.[1][2]

Dermal fillers work on structure. They are better for restoring lost volume, contour and some folds. Many patients need a combination of both, in different areas and strengths, for balanced outcomes.[3][6]

Injectables vs skin tightening devices (HIFU and others)

Injectables address movement and volume. HIFU and other tightening devices target skin laxity by stimulating collagen in deeper layers.[9]

Someone with good volume but loose skin may benefit more from tightening, while someone with early sagging and hollowing may need structural support first.

Clinic anti-ageing treatments vs skincare and home devices

Quality skincare and sun protection are essential, but they cannot fully replace injectables or in-clinic devices for moderate to advanced ageing concerns.

Over-the-counter home devices usually deliver much lower energy and may lack strong safety data. For significant change with controlled risk, clinic-grade treatments under dermatologist supervision are usually more suitable.

When combination treatments give better results

In many cases, the best results come from combining:

• Anti wrinkle injections for expression lines
• Fillers for volume and structure
• Lasers, peels or microneedling for tone and texture
• Skincare and lifestyle changes for maintenance

Combination plans are always tailored to your budget, timeline and tolerance for downtime.

FAQs on anti-ageing treatments in Mumbai

Which is the best anti-ageing treatment for wrinkles and fine lines?

There is no single best anti-ageing treatment for everyone. Dynamic wrinkles caused by expressions often respond well to anti wrinkle injections, while volume loss and folds may need fillers, and texture changes may need lasers, microneedling or peels.[1][3][5][8]

The most effective plan is usually a personalised combination based on your age, skin type, medical history and comfort with downtime.

At what age should I start anti-ageing treatments?

There is no fixed age. Many people start in their late 20s or 30s with preventive options like sunscreen, prescription skincare and occasional mild treatments. Others may only consider injectables or devices closer to their 40s or 50s.

A consultation with a dermatologist can help you decide what is appropriate for your current stage, rather than copying someone else’s plan.

Are anti-ageing injections and fillers safe in the long term?

Botulinum toxin injections and hyaluronic acid fillers have been used worldwide for many years, with safety data available when they are used correctly and with approved products.[1][3][6]

Like any medical procedure, they carry risks, which is why they should be done by trained doctors after proper assessment and consent. Long-term safety also depends on good technique, spacing of sessions and sensible expectations.

How long do anti age treatments last and will my face look “overdone”?

Duration depends on the procedure, dose and your own body. Most injectable and device-based treatments are temporary and gradually wear off over months to years. With conservative planning and a focus on balance, you can usually avoid an overdone look.

We follow a “less is more at first” approach and build up gradually if needed, so you have time to adjust.

Can I do anti-ageing treatment before a wedding or important event?

Yes, many patients choose to plan anti-ageing treatment before weddings, reunions or professional milestones. It is best to start early so that there is time for:

• Initial consultation and planning
• One or more treatment sessions
• Healing and settling of any temporary swelling, bruising or peeling

The exact timeline depends on which treatments are chosen. We usually suggest planning several weeks to months ahead for more involved procedures.

How do I book a consultation at The Bombay Skin Clinic in Mumbai?

You can contact any of our branches in South Mumbai, Bandra, Andheri or Chembur by phone, WhatsApp or through our website enquiry form. Our team will help you choose a convenient location and time slot, and guide you on how to prepare for your first anti-ageing consultation.
