What are Expression Wrinkles?
Expression wrinkles are lines that form on the skin as a result of repeated facial movements—such as frowning, raising the eyebrows, smiling, or squinting. Over time, these habitual gestures gradually leave marks on the skin’s surface.
Also known as dynamic wrinkles, they typically appear in the upper third of the face, especially on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
Most common areas for expression wrinkles:
- Forehead
- Glabella (frown lines)
- Eye contour (crow’s feet)
As we age, these lines become deeper due to the gradual loss of collagen and skin elasticity.

Why do expression wrinkles appear?
Expression wrinkles form as a result of repetitive facial movements we make every day: frowning, laughing, squinting, etc. Over time, these continuous gestures begin to leave marks on the skin.
In addition, there’s a progressive loss of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that help keep the skin firm and elastic. As we age, the skin loses its ability to recover, and these lines become more visible.
Factors such as sun exposure, stress, lack of sleep, or even genetic predisposition can speed up their appearance.

Treatment with neuromodulators effects
The treatment against expression wrinkles brings relaxation to the face, preventing wrinkles from becoming marked and giving us a fresher and more youthful expression. The face appears relaxed and rested, eliminating the air of sadness, worry or tiredness that appears over time. It also relaxes the forehead and softens crow’s feet.
In particular, the gaze acquires a particularly relaxed appearance by acting on the wrinkles between the eyebrows and the eye contour, obtaining spectacular results.
This treatment also has a preventive aspect in young people before wrinkles appear: by relaxing the muscle, it prevents wrinkles from becoming marked.
