Anti-ageing
Anti-ageing treatment at Chamak Clinic, Chennai
The smallest effective step for the change that bothers you.
Skin ages in layers: fine lines and dullness on the surface, wrinkles from muscle movement, loss of volume underneath and loosening of the skin's support.
What causes anti-ageing?
- Natural loss of collagen and elastin with age
- Sun exposure, the largest outside cause of skin ageing
- Repeated facial expressions
- Loss of fat and bone in the face over time
- Smoking, poor sleep and rapid weight change
Signs to look for
- Fine lines and dull texture
- Forehead, frown and crow's feet lines
- Hollow cheeks or under-eyes
- Loose jawline and neck
The doctor looks at which of these you want to address and suggests the smallest effective step, often starting with a routine and adding a procedure only where it helps. A natural look is the aim.

Anti-Ageing Treatment: questions
At what age should I start?
There is no set age. Sunscreen and a good routine help at any age; procedures are considered when a specific change bothers you.
Will I look unnatural?
The aim is to look like a rested version of yourself. The doctor starts with conservative doses and reviews you before adding more.
Which lasts longest?
It depends on the treatment. Anti-wrinkle injections usually last three to four months, fillers six to eighteen months and energy treatments around a year.
Can treatments be combined?
Often, yes. Many people combine an injection for lines with a treatment for texture or laxity, planned over a few visits.
Is there downtime?
Most anti-ageing treatments have little or none: some redness or small bruises that settle in days.
Do I need a consultation before a treatment?
Yes. Every treatment starts with a consultation. The doctor examines you and advises a procedure only if it suits you; many can be done the same day.
How much does a treatment cost?
The consultation is ₹500. Treatment prices depend on the area, what is used and the number of sessions, so the doctor gives you the exact price after examining your skin — before anything is done.
Not sure where to start with anti-ageing?
A consultation comes first: Dr Rohini K examines you, explains the options that suit you, and tells you the plan and the price before anything is done.
