In spite of that, before you could control the appearance wrinkles or perhaps, achieve a smoother, brighter and less-wrinkled face, you need to understand the different types of wrinkles and possible lifestyle changes as well as the treatments for your price point.

However, wrinkles are not all the same; different kinds are available based on various factors.

Expression wrinkles

To make it simple, this type of wrinkles comes out at the particular spots you make expressions - like the outer corners of the eye, the mouth and between the brows.

These types of wrinkles are considered to be temporary, but over time, they can become permanent static wrinkles. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, some of the factors that can accelerate the appearance of such wrinkles are poor lifestyle habits and overexposure to the sun.

No one will advise you to stop showing expression to prevent such wrinkles. Hence, you can use Botox or other products that contain neuro-calming peptides for treatment.

Elastic wrinkles

This type of wrinkles is caused by the loss of elastic structure within the skin due to the frequent exposure to the sun's UV rays, smoking, air pollution, and other environmental factors. 

Nevertheless, you can prevent or treat such wrinkles by a good skincare regimen, avoid smoking cigarettes and exposing your skin to the sun. To get faster results, you could use lasers and peels to restore the skins elastic structure.

Compression wrinkles

Known as sleep or compression wrinkles, they come to bare when you squish your face against the pillow while sleeping. Although they are known to gradually fade, but sleeping in the same position could make such wrinkles permanent.

To prevent such wrinkles from according, you need to change your sleeping position to your back and stop compressing your face.

Gravitational wrinkles or folds

These types of wrinkles appear as a result of the loss of elasticity and collagen due to the natural aging process and sun damage. Deepening Nasolabial folds or smile lines are some of the examples but it could be corrected by using available fillers to re-inflate the particular area.

You can also use peptide-rich products that will nourish collagen to treat the gravitational types of wrinkles.

Atrophic wrinkles

They are known as those deep furrowed wrinkles that parallel between the lines. They appear on your forehead when the eyebrows are furrowed.

This type of wrinkles comes to existence on our face as a result of the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. It could worsen when the skin is continually exposed to the sun's UV rays.

It could be treated by a good, hydrating skin care regimen or the use of injectable fillers.

Wrinkles are something every woman (or man) dreads, but following the recommended prevention procedure and treatment by Harley Institute, you can have a smoother and more youthful appearance.
