Anti aging treatment in Islamabad with Dr. Umbreen Munir Minhas looks at which signs of ageing your skin actually shows, such as lines, spots, dullness or laxity, then treats each one with the method that suits it.

It covers clinic treatments that improve the quality of ageing skin: its texture, tone, hydration and firmness. Skin rejuvenation focuses on the skin itself rather than reshaping the face.
Sun is the main driver. A study of 298 women found that ultraviolet exposure accounted for about 80% of visible signs of facial ageing.
Ultraviolet light breaks down collagen and elastin and triggers pigment. Lines, spots and rough texture appear years earlier on exposed skin.
Your skin makes less collagen every year from early adulthood. Skin becomes thinner, drier and slower to spring back after movement.
Smoking, poor sleep, pollution and sudden weight changes speed up ageing. Skin treatment lasts longer when these habits change too.
After menopause, falling oestrogen thins and dries the skin quickly. Many women notice faster changes in texture and firmness at this stage.

The goal is healthier, fresher skin that looks rested, not a different face. Most results build gradually over a course and last longer with daily sunscreen. Photos below are shared with consent.
| Your Concern | Suggested Treatment | Typical Downtime |
|---|---|---|
| Dryness and fine crepey lines | Skin boosters | Small bumps for about a day |
| Flat brown sun spots | Spot removal | Tiny crusts for about a week |
| Dull or uneven tone | Chemical peels | None to several days of flaking |
| Rough texture and etched lines | CO2 laser | Scabs for 5 to 8 days |
| Loss of glow and fine texture | PRP facial | Redness for a day or two |
| Early loosening at the jaw | HIFU | None |
Dr. Umbreen checks lines, pigment, texture, hydration and firmness, so each sign of ageing is matched to the treatment that targets it.
She asks about sun exposure, smoking, sleep and your current skincare, because these decide how long any result will last.
Treatments are spaced and combined in a sensible order, usually skin quality first, so you can see the effect of each step.
Each treatment page lists its own risks and published rates. Across anti-aging skin care, Dr. Umbreen explains these before you start:
Skin treatments cannot lift heavy sagging, remove excess skin or restore lost facial volume. Those need injectables or surgery.
Each fee is confirmed after assessment, once your concerns and plan are agreed. Ask for one written estimate for the full year.
| Factor | How It Affects Your Fee |
|---|---|
| Number of concerns | Treating several signs costs more than one. |
| Treatment type | Peels cost less than laser or HIFU. |
| Sessions | Most treatments work as a course. |
| Home care | Sunscreen and creams are an ongoing cost. |
Compare anti ageing treatments by yearly cost, as results that need frequent repeats can cost more over time.
Her listed services include skin peeling, micro-needling, fillers and thread lift, so she can treat skin quality and also tell you when lifting is the better step. Women can talk openly with a female doctor.
Lifting treatments, such as threads or facelift surgery, reposition tissue that has dropped rather than improving the skin surface.
| Feature | Skin Quality Treatment | Lifting Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Treats | Lines, spots, dullness, texture | Jowls, sagging cheeks, loose neck |
| Works on | The skin layers | Tissue under the skin |
| Changes face shape? | No | Yes |
| Typical approach | Courses and maintenance | One procedure |
| Usual timing | From early adulthood | When sagging is visible |
Many faces need both. Lifting alone leaves aged skin on a lifted face, so skin quality care often continues after any lift.
Dr. Umbreen sees patients privately at Omer Diagnostic & Specialist Clinics (ODC), 12-A, LG Floor, CBC Plaza, G-8 Markaz, Islamabad, Monday to Friday, 3:00 to 5:00 PM.
Bring the skincare products you use daily and a list of any treatments you have had in the past year.
Choose a doctor who assesses each sign of ageing separately, explains realistic results and builds a staged plan. Avoid one-size packages sold to every patient.
Daily sunscreen is worth starting as early as possible, ideally from your school years. Clinic treatments usually begin when you first notice lines, spots or dullness that bother you.
Most feel like tingling, warmth or quick pricks. Numbing cream is used before needling, lasers and injections, so sessions stay comfortable for most people, even with sensitive skin.
No. Treatments improve your skin, but natural ageing and sun exposure continue. Results last longest with daily sunscreen, a simple home routine and occasional maintenance sessions.
Broad-spectrum sunscreen has the strongest evidence, followed by prescribed retinoid creams. Most other products help moisture and comfort rather than truly reversing the signs of ageing.
Yes. Men often treat sun spots, rough texture and early laxity along the jaw. Plans are adjusted for their thicker, oilier skin and the effects of daily shaving.
Patient guides on ageing skin from Dr. Umbreen’s blog.
A thread lift is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses specially designed absorbable threads to lift and tighten sagging skin on the face and neck. Unlike traditional facelifts, this technique works by anchoring threads beneath the skin’s surface to create
Dermal fillers are injectable gels that restore volume and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. These minimally invasive treatments have become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide, offering immediate results without requiring surgery.
Addressing the Three Pillars of Aging means understanding that facial aging is never caused by just one factor. The face loses volume over time. Skin quality declines with age and sun exposure. And the underlying structure of the face shifts
