What are wrinkles? 

Wrinkles are creases, folds, or furrows in the skin that appear due to skin aging, loss of elasticity, tone, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, substances that support the skin. 

What causes wrinkles? The appearance of wrinkles, in most cases, is due to the natural aging process of the skin. However, there are some external factors, such as: exaggerated exposure to the sun without the correct use of sunscreen, hormonal changes, smoking, and excessive consumption of alcohol that increase the potential for wrinkles.

What are the types of wrinkles?

Basically, there are three types of wrinkles: dynamic wrinkles, known as expression wrinkles, which form in the areas where the facial muscles move the most: around the eyes (crow's feet), forehead, and lips.

The static wrinkles, which appear in immobile parts of the face, are caused by skin aging, visible when the face is at rest, usually in the regions of the Chinese Moustache, Lips, and Neck. 

And lastly, the gravitational wrinkles, which appear due to skin flaccidity, usually appear at the ages of 60 and 70, because it is at this age that the skin becomes thinner and the flaccidity more visible. Usually in the jaw region, this wrinkle is also known as the "bulldog" effect.

Some procedures are indicated for the treatment of wrinkles, such as: Botulinum Toxin, Filling, Sculptra, Fractional CO2 Laser, Chemical Peeling, Pulsed Light, and Radiofrequency. 

These procedures will act directly in the region returning the volume and collagen production.

Duration of Treatments

Not exactly. The formulas of moisturizers are quite different, but none of them are miracle workers. Most creams on the market only moisturize the skin, which makes it look healthier.

It is not the lack of muscle tone that causes wrinkles, but the decrease in collagen and elastin, which occurs due to factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and repetition of facial movements. Facial movements such as smiling and squeezing the eyes, for example, when done too often over time, can cause wrinkles.
