What should you know about head wrinkles?

Forehead lines and lines around the eyes can become more visible when expressions repeatedly fold the skin. With time, reduced support and slower surface renewal can make creases remain visible at rest. Ultraviolet exposure accelerates sun-damaged skin, while dryness can make texture look rougher. Crow's feet are expression-related lines at the outer eye area. Wrinkles are usually a cosmetic concern, but a changing spot, sore, or bleeding lesion is a separate reason for examination.

Use broad-spectrum sun protection, shade, and a hat, and moisturise regularly to reduce dryness-related roughness. Avoid tanning and smoking, and introduce active skincare products gradually because irritation can make lines look more noticeable. A dermatologist can discuss prescription options and procedures. Botulinum toxin injection can soften selected movement-related lines, while dermal fillers add support to particular depressions; suitability depends on anatomy, goals, and medical history.

Book a skin examination for a new or changing mark, persistent crust, non-healing sore, bleeding area, or a wrinkle-like lesion that differs from surrounding skin. Seek advice if a cosmetic treatment causes severe pain, unusual swelling, skin colour change, or signs of infection.

Ask which lines are caused by movement or volume change, what sun protection fits your routine, and which treatment risks and aftercare apply to your skin.
