Dynamic vs. Static Wrinkles — What’s the Difference?
If you’ve ever wondered why some lines only show when you smile while others stick around all the time, here’s the scoop 👇🏻
Dynamic Wrinkles
These are the lines that appear with facial expressions — think smiling, frowning, squinting, or raising your brows.
They’re caused by repeated muscle movement over time.
Common spots: crow’s feet, forehead lines, & frown lines.
Static Wrinkles
These lines are present even when your face is at rest.
They develop as skin loses collagen, elasticity, and hydration, and can deepen from sun exposure or lifestyle factors.
Common spots: nasolabial folds, marionette lines, & deeper forehead creases.
Why Knowing the Difference Matters
Different wrinkles respond to different treatments:
Dynamic → often best treated with neuromodulators (like Botox/Dysport)
Static → often benefit from fillers, microneedling, lasers, or collagen-boosting treatments
Healthier skin starts with understanding it!
