At our aesthetic clinic, we understand the concern that wrinkles cause, so it's essential to distinguish between the main types: expression lines and deep wrinkles. Below, we detail their characteristics to facilitate their identification and appropriate treatment.
Expression wrinkles
- Cause: They arise as a result of repetitive movements of the facial muscles during everyday expressions, such as smiling or frowning.
- Areas where they are located: They appear in areas where the facial muscles are in constant motion, such as the eye contour (crow's feet), the glabella (between the eyebrows), and the forehead.
- Depth: They begin as fine lines and, with the passage of time and the repetition of gestures, they become more pronounced.
Deep wrinkles
- Cause: They are related to the natural process of skin aging, which involves the progressive decrease of collagen, elastin, and subcutaneous fat.
- Areas where they are located: They are mainly located in areas prone to volume loss, such as the mouth contour (marionette lines), cheeks and neck.
- Depth: They are more pronounced and can form visible folds in the skin.
In the case of deep wrinkles, treatments can range from dermal fillers, which help restore lost volume, to more advanced procedures such as facelift, which improves skin firmness and redefines facial contours.
It is essential to conduct an individualized assessment to adapt the treatment to the specific needs of each patient.
At our clinic, we are committed to providing personalized and effective solutions to help improve the appearance of your skin, achieving a more youthful and healthy look. We invite you to schedule an initial consultation to evaluate your case and determine the most appropriate treatment.
