Types of Wrinkles
Wrinkles typically fall into two main categories:
Dynamic wrinkles
These wrinkles occur due to repeated facial movements such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. For instance, if you constantly pucker your lips, you might end up with lip lines.
Static wrinkles:
These wrinkles are visible even when the face is still. They’re caused by a lack of elasticity and collagen in the skin. Static wrinkles often manifest as deep lines on the cheeks, neck, or nasolabial folds.

Types of Facial Lines
There are 7 types of facial lines that are more frequently seen:
Forehead lines
Extend horizontally across the forehead, typically found in the T-zone area.
Worry lines
Form a distinct “eleven” shape between the brows.
Bunnies
Etch lines horizontally on the bridge of the nose.
Crow’s feet
Radiate outward from the outer corners of the eyes, like a crow’s footprint.
Laugh lines
Known as nasolabial folds, create parentheses around the upper lip.
Lip lines
Consist of vertical hatches encircling the mouth.
Marionette lines
Frame the chin vertically and manifest as cheeks droop.

Sun Exposure
UV rays damage the skin’s collagen and elastin fibers, accelerating the aging process and causing premature wrinkles.
Smoking
Smoking tobacco can damage cells that produce collagen, leading to sagging, dry skin and deep wrinkles around the eyebrows, eyes, and lips.
Poor Lifestyle
A lack of good nutrition, stress, and inadequate skincare routines can all contribute to early signs of wrinkles.
Treatments Options for Wrinkles
Wrinkles may be inevitable, but there are results-proven treatments that can be done quickly and easily to treat fine lines and give you a more youthful appearance.
Botox Injections
Botox is the most effective and quick treatment that helps relax muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. Studies also discovered that Botox can help treat chronic migraines.
Dermal Fillers
Fillers are another popular injectable treatment among celebrities that add volume to areas with static wrinkles, smoothing out lines and restoring a more youthful contour.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser treatments have been proven to boost collagen production, improve skin texture and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.
Chemical Peels
By removing the top layer of dead, wrinkled skin, chemical peels promote cellular turnover and reversing signs of wrinkles.
Microneedling
This minimally invasive procedure uses tiny needles to stimulate the production of collagen and rejuvenate the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age will I get wrinkles?
There is no specific age bracket for wrinkles. Some people may notice wrinkles in their twenties from excessive sun exposure, others may only develop wrinkles around the age of 50-60.
How long do the results of wrinkle treatments last?
Botox and fillers tend to last anywhere from a few months to a year. Other treatments, like laser and chemical peels, can have longer-lasting effects but take longer time to show results.
Are the treatments safe and suitable for all skin types?
Treatments performed by trained professionals are generally safe, but not every treatment is suitable for every skin type. To know more, it is best to consult a dermatologist who can assess your skin type and provide the most appropriate wrinkle treatment for your needs.
