Wrinkles and Fine Lines

What is the Difference Between Fine Lines & Wrinkles?

​While you have probably heard fine lines and wrinkles referred to interchangeably, there is actually some difference between the two. Not only do they appear in different areas of the face, they are also treated differently, both in the types of facial rejuvenation procedures and products we recommend to you.

Understanding the differences before you begin researching different treatment options will help you plan your first ever appointment to our practice a little bit better.

Fine lines often indicate the beginning of your skin’s aging process. They are small and shallow and may be hard to see initially. Fine lines on the face are often associated with repetitive movements, such as squinting, smiling, laughing or frowning. Fine lines are so superficial that they respond to treatments faster and easier than deeper wrinkles would. Wrinkles form when fine lines are not treated quickly and begin to deepen, but they also tend to form in different areas of the face more quickly, often progressing into facial folds.
