Wrinkles are a normal part of aging, and some experience them earlier than others. Luckily, there are now a good number of non-invasive cosmetic treatments that can significantly improve their appearance. From Botox treatment to dermal fillers, laser-assisted procedures, and more, these cosmetic treatments provide patients with a good array of effective solutions to their skin concerns.
If wrinkles on your face are your primary concern, you must first understand a few things about these aging-related skin issues in order to find the solution that’s ideal to your specific concern. In addition, since Botox treatment is a popular choice among men and women, you must know that Botox injections are intended for dynamic wrinkles. This brings us to the first thing to know about wrinkles…
1. Types of wrinkles
There are two general types of wrinkles: dynamic and static. Briefly, dynamic wrinkles are “expression wrinkles” because they appear when you make facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or raising your eyebrows. These are not generally associated with aging. Dynamic wrinkles are usually those lines on your forehead, the “11s” between your eyes, and wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet).
Static wrinkles, on the other hand, are wrinkles that appear as the skin ages. They may begin to appear in your late 30s and early 40s although some people experience them at a younger age because of premature skin aging. Static wrinkles are more permanent than dynamic wrinkles; that is, they do not appear only when you make facial expressions. They’re there whether you make movements on your face or not. Marionette lines (lines that connect the corners of the mouth to the jawline), nasolabial folds (lines that connect the nose to the mouth area), and lip lines are common types of static wrinkles.
2. Lifestyle habits may cause premature wrinkles
Premature skin aging may cause the early appearance of wrinkles. Lifestyle habits like smoking and excessive drinking, skipping sunscreen, unhealthy foods or diets, and poor sleep quality deprive the skin of its nutrients, causing this to lose its moisture and elasticity, and consequently, age prematurely. Poor skin care also contributes to early skin aging, and may cause a myriad of other skin issues not least of which are acne and pimple breakouts.
3. Studies show that wrinkles are tell-tale signs of one’s natural disposition
According to studies, wrinkles are tell-tale signs of a person’s natural disposition, whether positive or negative. People with visible crow’s feet and laugh lines, for instance, are generally perceived as happy, positive individuals. Some also note that wrinkles give away a person’s sincerity and authenticity.
In a word, a person’s wrinkles tell many different stories.
