Fine lines and wrinkles
Expression lines that stay after the expression has gone.
What is happening
Lines that remain at rest
Years of repeated expression, slowing collagen and sun exposure can leave a crease that remains when the face is at rest. A wrinkle relaxer relaxes the muscle that folds the line, and laser or microneedling can help improve the skin itself.
Why it happens
Facial muscle movement will fold the skin for years, eventually causing a crease to remain when the face is at rest. This is dynamic movement resulting in static lines.
Over time, collagen production slows, causing facial skin to lose firmness and elasticity resulting in fine lines.
UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, making facial lines appear earlier and more pronounced.
The aim is a face that still moves. Softened, not still.
