Upper face wrinkles, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines, commonly develop as part of the natural aging process. These wrinkles are primarily caused by repeated muscle activity associated with facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or raising eyebrows.
Over the years, this continuous movement can lead to permanent creases in the skin. Additionally, our skin loses its elasticity as we age due to decreased collagen and elastin production—proteins that help maintain the skin’s firmness and flexibility. This loss makes it harder for the skin to recover from these expressions, thereby deepening the wrinkles.
Sun exposure also plays a significant role by accelerating the breakdown of these vital proteins, hastening the aging process. Furthermore, genetic factors can influence how early and prominently these wrinkles appear, with some individuals more predisposed to developing them.
Frown lines are the most common cause of concern for most people and are caused by the contraction of the glabellar muscles. Overactive or increased use of these muscles can result in the dreaded ‘angry 11’s’ lines vertically in the middle of the forehead.
These are usually the first wrinkles that we notice – especially when putting on make up! The horizontal forehead wrinkles are caused by the increased use of the frontalis muscle responsible for raising our eyebrows. Lifestyle factors and increased time in the sun can also effect the development of these wrinkles. Forehead wrinkles can often make a person appear older than they are, creating a tired stressed appearance.
Crows feet wrinkles are formed by muscle contraction surrounding the eye. This muscle is responsible for our squinting action and appears when we contract this muscle when we laugh and smile. Over time, these lines can deepen and can become present at rest. In some people with mid-face volume loss, these lines can extend into the cheek area and further under the eye.
