Imagine you are attending a wedding. You get to the hotel, unpack, and hang up all of your items. You inspect the outfit you brought for the wedding. You tried your best to pack it neatly and protect it from the other elements in your bag, but travel has made its impact. Your outfit is full of wrinkles and creases. You look around and spot the hotel room iron. You plug it in and smooth it all out. It looks as good as new and even crisper. Thank god for the janky hotel room iron.

Everyone has experience with wrinkles, whether on your cocktail dress, button-down, trousers, or your body.

What Do Wrinkles Look Like?

Wrinkles are a natural part of aging and appear as folds, lines, ridges in skin, and creases. Wrinkles can also appear as loose or droopy skin. You can find them anywhere but, most commonly, on your face, neck, and arms. Of course, wrinkles are more pronounced when at rest, but when you are smiling, frowning, or activating that body part, wrinkles are less noticeable.

Where Do Wrinkles First Appear?

The development of wrinkles is closely linked to sun exposure. So, it would make perfect sense that the places wrinkles develop first are where the sun hits the hardest. Tan wrinkles are real, my friend! Wrinkles first appear on the face, neck, back of the hands, and arms. Ultraviolet rays dry the skin and obliterate collagen. Cue us reminding you to wear sun protection when possible and where SPF 30 or higher. Be sure to reapply every two hours. Dermaclara only loves three things you, your skin, and high-quality sun protection.

When Do Wrinkles First Appear?

Wrinkles first appear as a fine lines band. Thin lines are the start of wrinkles and begin on the surface of the face. Over time fine lines deepen from repetitive movement and set in as deep wrinkles.

The average age for wrinkles is 25. You will start to notice fine lines and wrinkles around that time. The most common period to start wrinkle treatment is 40 to 55. After age 65, wrinkles become more prominent.

Types of Wrinkles

Before we get into the types, let’s break down dynamic, static, and atrophic wrinkles.

Dynamic Wrinkles

Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repeated muscle use. Frowning or puckering your lips to drink out of a straw are repeated facial movements that can lead to dynamic expression lines.

Static Wrinkles

Static wrinkles are caused by a loss of elasticity, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and gravity. Static wrinkles are prominent even when the face or muscle is at rest. Jowls and cheek wrinkles are very common examples.

Atrophic Wrinkles

Atrophic wrinkles form when the skin is thin and fragile. Skin thins due to collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid reduction.

Okay! Now, let’s make our way down the face and identify the common types of wrinkles.

Glabellar Lines

This is the infamous between eyebrow wrinkle that can be so hard to target. Glabellar lines are vertical and look like a deep crease between eyebrows. They have a couple of other nicknames, including frown lines and the 11s. Frown wrinkles are dynamic. 

Horizontal Forehead Lines

Forehead lines are dynamic wrinkles appearing across the forehead. Forehead wrinkles causes include: muscle activity and contracting and raising the eyebrows.

Forehead lines can also develop from sleep. The wrinkles you notice in the morning when you wake up are slightly different. They are called compression wrinkles. Sleep lines on the forehead usually appear more vertical than horizontal and occur due to pressing the face into a solid surface or pillow. There is a chance that these lines on face not wrinkles. You can tell by practicing facial expressions or pressing your face to see if the lines disappear when released.

Bunny Lines

Bunny lines appear as a wrinkle between eyes. This deep wrinkle between eyes often develops from scrunching up the nose while smiling or being cute. Bunny lines are dynamic wrinkles.

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are caused by squinting, frowning, and smiling. They branch out horizontally from the corners of the eyes and are dynamic wrinkles.

Nasolabial Folds

Nasolabial folds are static wrinkles that run vertically from the outer corner of the nose down to the outer corners of the mouth. 

Lip Lines

Lip lines are most commonly associated with “smokers lip.” These wrinkles can be dynamic or static, appearing as vertical hatches above the upper lip.

Marionette Lines

To put it simply, they are wrinkles on chin. Marionette lines are static wrinkles that stretch down from the corners of the mouth to the bottom of the chin. They tend to accentuate jowls and any dropping in the cheeks.

Neck Wrinkles

Signs of aging on neck include sagging skin, excess fat deposits, and vertical muscle bands. Neck wrinkles can be static or dynamic. Catching neck aging signs early can help reduce the chances of premature aging.

What Is the Best Non-Surgical Treatment for Wrinkles?

A lot of the above solutions include invasive procedures or expensive creams, but the best non-surgical treatment for wrinkles is silicone patches. Silicone creates a microclimate between the seal and your skin, creating a greenhouse helping to boost collagen and elastin. These are the critical elements needed to treat and get rid of wrinkles. This environment also increases moisture. If you were wondering, “does dry skin cause wrinkles?” The answer is yes! Dry skin  wrinkles lead to premature aging; moisturized skin keeps it plump. The adhesion of the silicone patch also helps to break habitual facial movements, further erasing thin lines and wrinkles and tightening the skin.
