They are small wrinkles, similar to the Wi-Fi symbol or the accordion accordion instrument, which are formed by a set of vertical lines next to the mouth when we smile. Muscle movements generate marks that look like parentheses. They are related to the skin’s natural aging process.

Age is one of the main causes of this type of wrinkles, as repetitive movements force the appearance of lines in the skin in the region, which already loses elasticity and firmness as a natural consequence of aging. The quantity and quality of collagen and elastin fibers, proteins responsible for skin elasticity and support, decrease over time. Unprotected sun exposure is also linked to this type of wrinkles, as radiation weakens the skin and its structures.

There are treatments with satisfactory results for this type of wrinkle. Injectables can help, especially collagen biostimulators. They have a very interesting action in stimulating the natural production of collagen in the place where they were applied. As the effect is gradual, the full result appears after a few months. The association with lasers and other technologies can also be interesting to stimulate collagen production.

But when noticing these signs, it’s important to see a specialist doctor.
