Understanding the Causes and Types of Wrinkles: How Skin Ages

The skin is a dynamic organ that constantly changes, but with age, its natural renewal mechanisms slow down. Wrinkles are more than just an aesthetic concern—they are the result of complex biological processes happening in the deeper layers of the skin. To make rejuvenation treatments truly effective, it’s essential to understand how and why wrinkles form.

What Happens to the Skin Over Time?

Skin aging is influenced by both internal (genetic) and external factors such as UV exposure, pollution, and lifestyle habits. Wrinkles form due to structural changes in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin responsible for elasticity, firmness, and hydration.

Key processes that lead to wrinkle formation:

Reduced Collagen and Elastin Production

Collagen makes up around 75% of the dermis and gives the skin strength and resilience. Starting around age 25, collagen production declines by about 1% per year, leading to decreased elasticity. Elastin, responsible for helping skin bounce back after movement, also degrades over time, contributing to deeper lines.

Loss of Hyaluronic Acid and Decreased Hydration

Hyaluronic acid is a vital molecule for moisture retention—just one gram can bind up to six liters of water. As we age, natural levels drop, resulting in dryness, fine lines, and volume loss.

Slower Skin Cell Renewal (Epidermal Turnover)

While young skin renews every 28 days, this cycle slows to 40–50 days in more mature skin. The result: a duller complexion, thinner texture, and increased susceptibility to wrinkle formation.

Decreased Facial Fat Pads

Subcutaneous fat provides facial volume and structure. Over time, these fat pads shrink and shift downward, causing loss of contour and deeper folds.

Reduced Microcirculation and Oxidative Stress

Blood flow to the skin decreases, limiting oxygen and nutrient delivery. At the same time, free radicals from UV rays, pollution, and stress damage skin cells and speed up the breakdown of collagen and elastin.

Types of Wrinkles and How to Treat Them

In aesthetic medicine, we distinguish between two main types of wrinkles. The treatment approach depends on the type, ensuring the most natural and long-lasting results.

Expression Wrinkles (Dynamic Wrinkles)

These form as a result of repeated facial muscle movements, such as smiling, frowning, or raising the eyebrows. They most commonly appear on the forehead, between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), around the eyes (crow’s feet), and near the lips.

Best Treatments:

• Botulinum treatments to relax facial muscles
• Hyaluronic acid fillers for hydration and smoothing fine lines
• Skin boosters to restore elasticity

Static Wrinkles

These develop due to the gradual loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, regardless of facial movement. They deepen over time and often appear on the cheeks, around the lips, and on the neck.

Best Treatments:

• Hyaluronic fillers to restore volume and contour
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments for skin regeneration
• Ultraformer III for non-surgical lifting and skin tightening

Dr Prlja Medical – A Science-Backed Approach to Treatment

At Dr Prlja Medical Clinic, our approach to facial rejuvenation is grounded in medical research and tailored to the unique needs of your skin. Our goal is not only to reduce wrinkles but to improve the skin’s quality over time. Through carefully selected treatments, we stimulate natural regeneration processes, bringing back your skin’s freshness, firmness, and radiant glow.

Wrinkle removal is more than a procedure—it’s an art form that enhances youthfulness while preserving natural expression and elegance.

How to Choose the Right Wrinkle Treatment

Every skin has its own story—this is why at Dr Prlja Medical, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Forehead wrinkles are treated differently from wrinkles around the lips, because their causes and skin structure vary. That’s why a personalized assessment is the essential first step in designing the right treatment plan for your face.

• Skin and Wrinkle Structure Analysis: We evaluate the type of wrinkles (dynamic, static, or combined) and the overall condition of your skin.
• Treatment Selection Based on Goals: Do we need to smooth wrinkles, improve skin texture, increase elasticity, or redefine facial contours?
• Rejuvenation Plan: By combining multiple methods, we achieve more natural, gradual, and long-lasting results.

A carefully combined facial treatment plan ensures steady, lasting improvements, resulting in a harmonious and refreshed appearance that reflects your personal aesthetic goals.

Wrinkle Treatments by Facial Area

Each facial zone requires a specific approach, as the skin differs in thickness, elasticity, and how it ages.

Forehead Wrinkles – Removal and Prevention

This area is prone to dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. Botulinum treatments are the most effective for preventing and softening these lines. Hyaluronic acid fillers and skin boosters further enhance skin texture.

Wrinkle Removal Around the Lips

The skin in this area is thin and more susceptible to static wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers gently smooth out lines and restore softness, while PRP treatments and skin boosters improve hydration and elasticity, making the skin more resilient to future aging.

Eye Area – Crow’s Feet and Under-Eye Circles

Fine lines around the eyes often result from a loss of hydration and elasticity. Gentle botulinum treatments reduce prominent wrinkles, while mesotherapy and PRP rejuvenate the delicate skin and brighten under-eye shadows.

Cheeks and Lower Third of the Face

Over time, the cheeks lose volume, contributing to skin sagging and deepening lines. Hyaluronic fillers and the Ultraformer III treatment restore firmness and redefine facial contours, creating a lifting effect without surgery.

Post-Treatment Care: How to Maintain Your Results

To ensure long-lasting results and healthy, well-maintained skin, it’s essential to follow a care regimen tailored to your needs:

• Hydration and Skin Protection: Regular use of moisturizers rich in hyaluronic acid and antioxidants helps maintain skin elasticity and smoothness.
• Sun Protection: Daily application of SPF 50 is a must to prevent collagen breakdown and the appearance of new wrinkles.
• Ongoing Follow-Ups and Customized Treatments: Maintaining your results through regular check-ups and tailored touch-up sessions prolongs the effects and delays early signs of skin aging.

With proper care, wrinkle treatments around the lips and forehead can deliver long-lasting rejuvenation and improved skin quality.
