What are the wrinkles on the face?
Recently, I've noticed that facial wrinkles are increasing, especially on the forehead and around the eyes, making me look older. I'd like to ask, what are the common types of facial wrinkles, and how can I reduce them?

Facial wrinkles are primarily categorized into two major types: dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles.
Dynamic wrinkles appear when making facial expressions, such as crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines. These wrinkles are caused by repeated contractions of facial muscles. Static wrinkles are those that remain visible even when the face is at rest. They are commonly found in areas such as the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and smile lines. These wrinkles are primarily caused by skin aging, collagen loss, and the effects of gravity.
Crow's feet extend between the corner of the eyes and the temples. Their pattern resembles the纹路 of a fish tail and serves as a sign of physiological aging. Nasolabial folds (commonly referred to as "laugh lines") are located on both sides of the mouth area and gradually appear with age, affecting facial aesthetics. The wrinkles around the nasolabial area are caused by skin laxity due to relaxation of the procerus and depressor septi muscles.
The formation of wrinkles is related to multiple factors, including natural aging, habitual facial expressions, and UV radiation. In addition to daily skincare routines, wrinkles can also be improved through medical aesthetic treatments such as botulinum toxin injections, dermal fillers, laser therapy, and other procedures.
