Lip wrinkles are those lines (that can go from fine lines to deep wrinkles or furrows) that appear around the mouth, they are caused mostly due to aging process in which the skin looses its elasticity (collagen) and what once were lines that appeared and dissappeared with our gestures become permanent marks.

Muscle movement around the mouth, when we smile or frown, is a continous movement that also causes lip wrinkles to appear.

Even though it is a normal part of the aging process, lip wrinkles can be made worse due to several factors like smoking or living in a smoke filled environment, sun light which depletes the epidermis or top layer of the skin of water that is vital to the elasticity, so to prevent the appearance of lip wrinkles you should refrend yourself from smoking or living in a constant smoke filled environment as well as using sunblock and moisturizers so the skin around the lips stays hydrated and elastic for a longer time.

You should start treating lip wrinkles as they form, by applying antiaging creams and lotions, that also help the skin look younger and fresher, even though over the counter creams can only take you so far and will not stop the aging process completely.

Some of this antiaging creams and lotions contain anti oxidants and other ingredients like:

• Retinoids
• Vitamins (specially vitamin C and E that are good for the skin)
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids
• Polypeptides
• Plant Extracts

If you want to take more drastic measures to erase and eliminate your lip wrinkles, you can try some dermatological or surgery treatments, like peelings (chemical or mechanical) microdermabrasion, laser treatments and plastic surgery (Facelift) or lip wrinkles botox injections.

All these treatments should be supervised by a certified dermathologist or professional because side effects can be many and varied like redness, swelling, eruption etc.

Eye wrinkles and lines (also called crow´s feet) have different causes, mainly:

• Aging
• Sun damage
• Eye muscle movement
• Surgery
• Scars
• Gravity
• Smoking
• Pimples

Eye wrinkles and lines appear because the dermis (the lower layer of skin) starts getting thick irregularly, and also because the amount of water in the epidermis (top layer of the skin) starts decreasing due to damage by the sun and other toxins like smoke.

The appearance of eye wrinkles due to the aging process are caused by muscle movements, and even when you are young, you can still see where eye wrinkles will eventually appear, when you squint little and very fine wrinkles appear in the corner of your eyes, when you stop squinting the go away, these are called dynamic lines, but little by little these lines will stop going away entirely and will become “static lines” these permanent marks or eye wrinkles are the results of the process of aging, as the skin loses collagen and with it its elasticity to return to its original position, so eventually all dynamic wrinkles, become static wrinkles.

There are many different treatments for eye wrinkles. The best way is to prevent them by using moisturizers and sunblock creams or lotions, but once they are there you can use antiging creams available over the counter with different results, and if you want to try something more permanent you can try eye wrinkle laser treatments, botulinum toxin (Botox) that paralizes the muscle so dynamic lines stop appearing, plastic or esthetic surgery (commonly called as facelift) to cut the extra part of the skin and re-smooth the eye wrinkles back to its original position.

There are also collagen injections that are applied directly into the affected area, to stop the decreasing of collagen that comes normally with age, and giving elasticity back to the skin.

One of the many options in the market out there these days to treat wrinkles is the laser wrinkles treatment, this kind of laser treatment is also used to erase scars and pimple marks, it is also called laser resurfacing treatment or laser peeling.

It has been used since the eighties and it is a way to rejuvenate skin without having to into surgery, with the lasers available now its possible to reduce and even remove wrinkles and scars, and other skin problems with minimal discomfort for the patient.

In the early eigthies the most common laser wrinkles treatment was continous wave carbon dioxide, it was used to remove the top most damaged skin layer, and promoting the appearance of a new skin, the results were very good but secondary effects were many, including redness, decoloration and eruptions.

Because od this secondary effects new laser wrinkles treatments were developed, including co2 laser systems, that also remove layers of damaged skin but in amore subtle way, Erbium:YAG laser was also developed and it is as good as the co2 laser treatment. 

These two treatments are normally called “ablative” laser treatments, because they remove the top most layer of the skin.

In the last 10 years laser treatments have seen a technological revolution being this “ablative” laser treatments the most common.

Even though these treatments are not cheap, they have seen a dramatical reduction in price and a lot of people now have access to them.

If you want to try one of these laser wrinkle treatments you should take into account, that even though they are farily common now, they still should be treated by a dermatologist or certified technician, because the possibility of serious burns, scarring or other side effects still exist.

Wrinkles are definitive marks that start appearing in people´s faces in their mid life, and can be very damaging to person´s self esteem and self confidence, but there are several wrinkle treatment options out there that can give different levels of success and can help people prevent or fight their wrinkles.

The best treatment for wrinkles is to prevent them, this can be achieved applying skin moisturizers consistently (one of the main reasons wrinkles appear is due to lack of water in the skin or skin dehydration) look for one that is not too agressive and doesn´t give a burn sensation in the skin and that is not too oily or that can cause pimples or zits.

Another important wrinkle treatment, in the preventive manner is to always use sun screen, sun light is another of the main reasons wrinkles appear, so it is logical that the first wrinkle treatment is to get a good sunscreen and use it everyday, specially when you are going to be exposed to sunlight for a long time.

Anti aging (ar antiaging) creams are the most common treatment for wrinkles, they are sold everywhere and they normally contain retinoids, vitamins, and alpha hydroxy acids.

Depending on the type of wrinkle, there are more serious treatments that can be used, including peeling (it can be chemical or mechanical) using medicines or pills, or by laser or microdermabrasion wrinkle treatment, or laser wrinkle treatments normally using carbon dioxide, also called laser resurfacing.

There are other options as well, that can go from injections (botox or collagen) as well as plastic surgery, facelifts and even skin implants from other parts of your body, but all these more serious treatments should be first consulted with your dermathologist or plastic surgeon, so you both can decide what is the best treatment for your wrinkles.

Wrinkles can appear in different parts of your body (and in certain age on most parts of your body) but the ones that cause the most trouble for most people are facial wrinkles, these wrinkles stay as permanent marks on your face and can make you look older than you really are (or older than you want to look).

Facial wrinkles can normally be found in the forehead, gravity and aging effects start pulling the skin down and since elasticity with age becomes less and less, we start noticing some permanent marks in the forehead area. These area can be specially affected by facial wrinkles due to long exposure to sunlight, and smoking can make the effect even worse, even though it is normal for them to appear due to muscle movement throughout our lives.

Facial wrinkles normally appear in the eye area, under the eyes and on the outside, these are mostly caused by the eye movement, blinking, and squinting to adjust your sight to bright lights, these are the most common facial wrinkles, and most women everywhere start covering them with make up around 40 years of age, this wrinkles are mostly treated with anti-aging creams, that can be bought mostly anywhere, but there are other more expensive solutions available including facial lifts.

Another area normally affected with facial wrinkles is the upper lip, and in the corner of the lips most of us (wether we notice it or not) make a lot of gestures with the mouth while talking or communicating in general like smiling or frowning constantly, these temprary movements become permanent skin marks in the form of facial wrinkles, these wrinkles can be treated with botox injections, or collagen treatments.

If you have any questions or doubts about your facial wrinkles or if you want to consider different treatments, you should seek a dermatologist opinion.

Skin wrinkles appear mostly due to aging or the aging process of the skin, they are mostly skin marks that make permanent a gesture or facial expresion, for example if you squint a lot, those temporary wrinkles in your face will start becomenig more and more permanent until they become skin wrinkles, this can also happen on your lips and forehead as well as your eyes.

There some other things that can cause skin wrinkles or make them more apparent like smoking, too much sun exposure, little hydration and many other factors that affect your skin and can cause your skin to wrinkle.

The main factor that makes your skin elastic and able to move and come back to its original state is called collagen, the collagen cells on your body are normally hard at work to make your skin elastic and young, but with age (as well as with gravity effect) these collagen cells start weaking and are not able to fully restore your skin to its original location, this is when skin wrinkles start appearing, with age collagen cells start decaying and breaking.

Skin wrinkles in western countries are seen more and more as a non beautiful effect in a persons face, so there is a huge industry out there trying to find cures and ways to stop skin wrinkles from appearing or make them less noticeable, anything from creams, to make up to more professional treatments like plastic surgery, botox injections and many many more, this products are normally sold in any pharmacy or beauty salon and are normally bought by women who are more interested in their looks.

In some eastern cultures though skin wrinkles are seen as a sign of age and wisdom and are not looked down upon, that is why the skin wrinkle industry has developed more on western cultures like the United States and Europe.

According to wikipedia a wrinkle is: A wrinkle is a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water. Wrinkling in the skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.^[1] With prolonged water exposure, the outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. The skin doesn’t expand evenly, however, causing it to wrinkle. Depletion of water in the body, as occurs with dehydration, can also cause this puckering of the skin.^[2] Cortisol causes degradation of skin collagen.^[3]

Treatments and products (including anti-aging creams) promising to reduce, remove, or prevent age-related wrinkles are big business in many industrialized countries. Despite great demand, most such products and treatments have not been proven to give lasting or major positive effects. Stretching the skin via a face lift will remove some wrinkles.

In humans, collagen is very stable. Unlike some cells of the body that are constantly dying and replicating, collagen cells will not be replaced for around 30 years. As a result. these old collagen cells breakdown and according to research, it is this fragmented collagen that causes wrinkles. Fragmented collagen also leads to skin tearing and bruising easier than it otherwise would.^{[citation needed]}

Wrinkles in short is the way your body tells you that it is decaying, they come normally with age but they can be treated in several ways, some more permanent than others, they come from anti aging and anti wrinkle over the counter creams to face lifting surgeries, botox and collagen injections, laser treatments, etc.
