5 types of facial wrinkles that aren't beautiful

Are wrinkles beautiful ? That's the million-dollar question. For us, no . Faces are beautiful. And this emphatic statement has nuances: we're also not in favor of artificially sculpted faces, which lose all their freshness and identity. That's why we champion cosmetic technology , because it's a healthy alternative to fillers, Botox, surgeries like blepharoplasty, and other invasive treatments that generally work very well, but have their own complexities.

Wrinkles, whatever their type, can be significantly improved with good cosmetic technology. As we always say, to defeat the enemy, you must know it. So, let's review the most common types of facial wrinkles.

1. Facial wrinkles: Expression lines

Expression lines are the fine wrinkles that form around the eyes and mouth . This term includes two of the most common: the dreaded crow's feet and barcode lines . These wrinkles are caused by repeated muscle contractions over time. The legacy of your own existence—laughter, tears, surprises, and pain—everything leaves its mark.

The facial muscles that contribute most to expression lines are those that control blinking and mouth movements. To treat these wrinkles, we recommend two top devices:

Our little Fixeye warrior. It's an eye and lip contour massager that combines 4 technologies and helps minimize these small marks, lift droopy eyelids, and reduce puffiness in the face overall.

A good LED mask , like our Silicone LED Mask , with red and infrared light (the latter is very effective in treating fine lines) and a powerful beam—not all of them are. It's a non-invasive treatment, suitable for all skin types, that leaves your skin plump and radiant after just a few weeks of use. We love LED light!

2. Facial wrinkles: Nasolabial folds or

The nasolabial folds, commonly known as "laugh lines," extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These wrinkles tend to deepen over time due to the loss of collagen and elastin. The skin loses its elasticity, resilience, and ability to maintain its original shape.

These are the kind of wrinkles that either appear on you or they don't, because they have a significant constitutional component. Some faces have them from a young age. On the positive side, they're often associated with laughter, so if you're one of those people, remember that you've probably laughed a lot .

Radiofrequency is a great option for smoothing wrinkles . They won't disappear completely, but the intense stimulation this technology provides to collagen and elastin production helps lift the facial tissues responsible for their appearance. Each TriPollar Desire session lasts 12 minutes, treating the entire face, including the neck (except the trachea area), from the comfort of your bathroom or even your sofa. The choice is yours.

3. Facial wrinkles: Marionette lines

Marionette lines are folds that form from the corners of the mouth downwards, creating a realistic marionette-like appearance. These wrinkles are usually caused by volume loss in the cheeks and gravity, resulting in sagging and descent of the tissues in the lower third of the face. Sagging skin is a constant concern, ladies. For those affected, we also recommend facial radiofrequency treatments to heat the skin fibers, remodel existing collagen, and stimulate the production of new collagen.

Don't forget to always use your radiofrequency devices with a good quality conductive gel that is specifically formulated for radiofrequency devices. Never use moisturizer or any other product, because you will damage the device and, even worse, the wrinkles will remain, untouched.

4. Facial wrinkles: Frown lines

The frown line, also known as the furrowed brow, forms on the forehead due to repeated muscle contractions in that area. It's a particularly unwelcome wrinkle because it makes us look angry or annoyed. No one will convince you that this is a beautiful wrinkle. Quite the opposite.

Massaging this wrinkle daily with the help of Fixeye minimizes it greatly, and can even make it disappear at rest, especially when combined with radiofrequency and a good serum, like this one.

5. Facial wrinkles: Venus rings on the neck

That often-forgotten element. The supporting actor who accompanies us and whom we don't give the attention we deserve, until we realize that he, too, ages and needs us. He usually ages before our face because his skin is thinner and, therefore, more susceptible to collagen loss. Frequently looking down at our electronic devices or inadequate protection from external stressors like sun and cold doesn't help either. We neglect him, and he rebels.

For the neck, we recommend our LED mask , which includes a specific attachment that extends to the décolletage area. LED light is non-invasive and harmless, so you can use it all over your neck. This is not the case with radiofrequency , which should avoid the trachea area. Combining both technologies is a wise choice.

In conclusion: we can and should take care of our skin, ideally whenever and wherever we want, and enjoy doing it along the way. The decision to undergo an invasive treatment is yours, and yours alone, but it's good to know that there are real and effective alternatives.
