Treatments for wrinkles and expression lines
Aging is a biological process that occurs over time, where there are a series of structural and functional changes in our body. In the case of the skin, we can say that there are two types of aging. Physiological aging and photoaging. The latter occurs prematurely due to exposure to UV rays. Both generate a gradual deterioration of elastin, collagen, as well as other fibers that provide firmness to the skin.
Once this process begins, the so-called expression lines or wrinkles appear. There are different types of wrinkles: dynamic wrinkles, static wrinkles, and wrinkle folds.
Dynamic wrinkles are due to the contraction of the muscles that are attached to the skin that covers them. Each muscle contraction causes the skin to fold, forming lines in the muscle. These wrinkles are those produced by facial expressions.
The most common locations for dynamic wrinkles are the frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and cheeks near the outer corners of the eyes, called “crow’s feet.” It follows, then, that weakening these muscles will cause a reduction in the severity of facial wrinkles, or may prevent them altogether when muscle weakening is done before wrinkles form.
Static wrinkles are caused by skin damage due to prolonged exposure to UV rays, tobacco use, eating habits, prolonged dynamic wrinkles, or may also be due to genetic or hereditary factors.
Finally, we must mention wrinkle folds, which are often due to sagging of the facial structures, which causes deep grooves between the nose and mouth known as the nasolabial fold.

Frequently asked questions about treatment for wrinkles and expression lines
Can I go about my daily life after undergoing these wrinkle treatments?
Yes, after the wrinkle treatment you can lead a totally normal life. However, certain considerations must be taken for the four hours following the application, suggesting avoiding physical exercise, sun exposure, excessive heat, alcohol consumption, among others. Once this time has elapsed, the patient can continue with their usual activities.
From what age can I perform these wrinkle treatments?
From the age of eighteen, these wrinkle treatments can be started, since there are people who gesticulate in a particular way and their dynamic wrinkles appear at an early age.
Is it a permanent and irreversible treatment?
No. All the products we place are absorbable by the body and have a finite date – or duration – at which point the person can decide to repeat the treatment or combine it with a new technique that is available.
