Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated muscle movement, think crow's feet from smiling, forehead lines from raising your eyebrows, or the vertical lines between your brows ("the elevens"). These respond well to wrinkle relaxers like Botox or Dysport, which soften the muscle movement causing them.

Static wrinkles are visible even when your face is at rest. These are usually caused by lost volume and collagen, not muscle movement, and respond better to dermal filler or collagen-stimulating treatments like microneedling.

Collagen and elastin production naturally slows with age, sun exposure breaks down existing collagen faster, and repeated facial expressions create the creases that eventually become permanent. Genetics, smoking, and skin type all play a role too.
