Wrinkles and fine lines: facial anti-ageing without injections
Fine lines and static wrinkles improve when the skin rebuilds collagen; that is what microneedling with exosomes (Dermapen 4), radiofrequency (Volnewmer, Intracel) and LED light therapy do, without injections, at Essentia in Thessaloniki.

What is it and why does it appear?
There are two kinds of wrinkle. Dynamic wrinkles (forehead, frown lines, crow's feet) are formed by the movement of the muscles of expression and show when you talk or laugh; they are treated medically, at the practice, not with devices. Static wrinkles and fine lines are there even when the face is still: they come from the decline of collagen and elastin, dehydration of the epidermis and sun damage. These respond to our treatments, which work on the quality of the skin: microneedling opens controlled micro-channels that trigger new collagen [1], radiofrequency heats the dermis for tightening and red LED light boosts fibroblast activity. Prevention starts early: sunscreen every day and retinol at night are the two best-documented habits.
Types
- Dynamic: from muscle movement (forehead, frown lines, eyes); medical treatment at the practice
- Static: present at rest, from collagen loss; respond to our treatments
- Dehydration lines: fine, superficial, mainly cheeks and under the eyes; improve with hydration
How we treat it
We start with skin quality: Dermapen 4 with exosomes for remodelling, Volnewmer for forehead and eyes when there is laxity too, Intracel when scars or pores coexist, and LED for recovery and collagen. Hydrafacial takes care of dehydration lines.
Recommended signature combo
ComboCell Regen
Microneedling with exosomes to rebuild the skin, and an infrared mask for faster recovery.
What to expect
Before and after: the first change is glow and smoother texture, 2–3 weeks after the first Dermapen session. Fine lines soften gradually with each session and the full result shows 2–3 months after the programme. With Volnewmer the forehead and eyes look more 'open' immediately and the result peaks at 3 months. Dynamic wrinkles do not change with these treatments.
Tips
- Sunscreen every morning, all year
- Retinol at night, gradually, for collagen
- Vitamin C in the morning, under the sunscreen
- Moisturiser and water: dehydration lines are the easiest
Frequently asked questions
Do they replace injectable treatments?
No. Our treatments work on the quality of the skin, not on muscle movement. For dynamic wrinkles the answer is medical, at Dr Papaioannou's practice.
How many sessions?
Usually 3–6 Dermapen, every 4–6 weeks; one Volnewmer; 3 Intracel.
When do I start?
When the first fine lines appear. Prevention is much easier than correction.
What are exosomes?
Tiny vesicles carrying signalling molecules that boost skin repair. We apply them after microneedling, so they reach deeper.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the treatments, areas and number of sessions. Add what interests you to your plan and the proposal with prices comes to you on WhatsApp, with no obligation.
