Aging is the root of all skin-care evil. As you grow older, your skin produces less collagen and elastin. This makes it harder for your skin to spring back to its original shape after facial expressions cause folds, creases, and wrinkles.
Here are a few habits that can lead to expression lines and other wrinkles:
Botulinum toxin is a potent neurotoxin that inhibits release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. Injection of small quantities of botulinum toxin into specific overactive muscles causes localized muscle relaxation that smooths the overlying skin and reduces wrinkles.

Expression wrinkles can be treated with Botox – neuromodulators that temporarily inhibit muscle movement. Neuromodulators are different than dermal fillers, as they do not fill wrinkles, but decrease the appearance of wrinkles.
Wrinkles around the lip and mouth are referred to as expression lines. While environmental free radicals, age, loss of collagen and genetics could contribute to their existence, expression lines are also simply the result of repetitive facial expressions over years that reduce the skin's elasticity and crease the skin.
Excessive and repetitive facial expressions like frowning can lead to permanent frown lines. If left untreated, frown lines can permanently become etched into the skin. Sunlight and aging play a further role in making frown lines deep-seated in the skin.
From around the age of 25 the first signs of aging start to become apparent on the surface of the skin. Fine lines appear first and wrinkles, a loss of volume and a loss of elasticity become noticeable over time. Our skin ages for a variety of different reasons.
Frown lines are the little wrinkles that form between your eyebrows. They typically form vertically in two thin lines.
Smoking and alcohol speed up skin aging and can lead to expression lines.
Collagen supplementation helps increase skin elasticity and hydration, thereby reducing expression lines.
Retinoids reduce expression lines by increasing the production of collagen.
