Deep wrinkles occur as a result of the build-up of muscles well below the Skin’s surface. The use of muscles in the face for various expressions “build” the muscles in the face resulting in deep wrinkles. Deep wrinkles may be present on a persistent basis or may be visible only when certain muscles are used. This is particularly true for crow’s feet and frown lines which may only be visible in some people when they smile or frown. Sub-types of deep wrinkles include:
• Crow’s feet (also known as periorbital lines) are deep wrinkles that occur around the eyes. They are usually caused by squinting and excessive exposure to sunlight.
• Frown lines (also known as glabellar lines) are vertical wrinkles that occur in the area between the eyes above the bridge of the nose.
• Marionette lines (also known as oral commissures) are vertical/diagonal wrinkles that extend downwards from the corners of the mouth.
• Smile lines (also known as nosolabial furrows) are vertical wrinkles between the bottom of the nose and the mouth.
• Smoker’s lines are fine, vertical wrinkles above the top lip. They are often caused by tobacco smoking.
• Worry lines are horizontal wrinkles across the forehead. They are often attributed to excessive frowning.
Fine wrinkles occur as a result of the breakdown of collagen and elastin and are part of the aging process. They are made worse by exposure to sunlight.
