As we age, our skin is gradually marked by the appearance of wrinkles, whether localized on the forehead, around the mouth or at the corners of the eyes. This natural phenomenon, linked to multifactorial skin changes, results from intrinsic processes (such as collagen and elastin depletion) and external factors (sun exposure, oxidative stress, etc.).
While these signs of time are inevitable, preventive and corrective solutions exist in Turkey to reduce their visibility and restore the skin's radiance and firmness. Treatments adapted to the biological mechanisms of aging help to maintain radiant skin, combining health and harmony.

Where do wrinkles & fine lines appear?
Wrinkles and fine lines appear mainly in areas where the skin is thinner and the facial muscles are more active. There are two main types of wrinkles:
Expression (dynamic) wrinkles
Expression (dynamic) wrinkles are fine, superficial lines found primarily around the eyes (crow's feet),mouth (nasolabial folds),and forehead. They are caused by the repetition of muscular movements associated with facial expressions (smiling, frowning, mimicry),especially in people with thin skin.
They appear at an early age in people with very expressive faces or fragile skin structures.
Aging wrinkles (static)
Static wrinkles result from the progressive breakdown of collagen and elastin fibers, combined with a reduction in natural hyaluronic acid. They become permanent with age and are aggravated by a number of factors, especially skin dryness and repeated exposure to the sun.
They manifest themselves in deep wrinkles such as the Bitterroot lines, sagging facial contours, and loss of volume in the hands.
Causes of wrinkles
The appearance of wrinkles is a natural process associated with skin aging, but it can be influenced by various internal and external factors.
Natural aging (intrinsic factors)
- Decreased production of collagen and elastin: As we age, skin produces less collagen and elastin, resulting in a loss of firmness and elasticity.
- Slower cell renewal: The skin's regeneration process becomes less efficient, making the skin thinner and more fragile.
- Decreased production of hyaluronic acid: The skin loses its ability to retain water, leading to dehydration and the appearance of wrinkles.
Environmental factors (extrinsic)
- UV exposure (photoaging): The sun's UV rays damage collagen and elastin fibers, accelerating the formation of wrinkles.
- Smoking: Tobacco reduces skin oxygenation and damages collagen, promoting the early appearance of wrinkles.
- Pollution: Pollutants create free radicals that accelerate skin aging.
- Unbalanced diet: A diet low in antioxidants and essential nutrients can affect skin health.
Behavioral factors
- Repeated facial expressions: Repetitive facial movements (smiling, frowning, etc.) cause expression lines.
- Lack of sleep: Lack of sleep disrupts skin regeneration.
- Stress: Chronic stress can accelerate skin aging by increasing cortisol production.
Genetic factors
Genetics play an important role in how skin ages. Some people are predisposed to developing wrinkles earlier or more deeply.
Wrinkle filling: Treatment options in Turkey
Wrinkle filling is a popular aesthetic procedure to reduce the signs of aging. Several treatment options are available in Turkey, ranging from non-invasive solutions to more extensive procedures:
Anti-wrinkle treatment | Features |
Hyaluronic Acid Injections | Hyaluronic acid is a substance found naturally in the body that helps hydrate and fill wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid injections are commonly used to treat facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds and lips. Results are visible immediately after the injection, with minimal recovery time. The effects are reversible and generally last 6 to 12 months. |
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) Injections | Botox is a neurotoxin that works by relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines and crow's feet. Botox injections are minimally invasive and results are visible within a few days. Results generally last 3 to 6 months. |
Radiesse (calcium hydroxylapatite) | Radiesse is an injectable filler that stimulates the production of collagen. It is commonly used to treat deep wrinkles and restore lost volume. Calcium hydroxylapatite acts as a structural scaffold, providing immediate support to fill wrinkles or add volume. Over time, it stimulates collagen production, contributing to long-lasting results. It is naturally absorbed by the body, making room for newly formed collagen. Results can last up to 18 months. |
| Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) | Poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer that stimulates the skin's natural collagen production. Unlike some other dermal fillers, which work immediately, Sculptra works gradually, stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen. Results appear gradually over several weeks and can last up to 2 years or more as collagen is slowly renewed. |
Lipofilling (fat grafting) | Facial lipofilling is a technique in which fat is taken from an area of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs) and injected into areas of the face to fill in wrinkles and restore lost volume. The results are natural and long-lasting because the patient's own fat is used. The effects of lipofilling can be permanent, although some fat may be absorbed by the body. |
Fractional laser and skin resurfacing | Fractional laser and skin resurfacing techniques use lasers to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. These treatments can improve both wrinkles and skin texture. With proper maintenance, results can last for years. |
Thread Lift | A thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure in which absorbable threads are inserted under the skin to lift and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Results are immediate and usually last 1 to 2 years. |
Combined treatments | In many cases, doctors recommend a combination of treatments for optimal results. For example, the combination of Botox and hyaluronic acid can be used to treat both dynamic and static wrinkles. Combined treatments provide more complete and harmonious results. |

Slow down the skin aging process
Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, but it's possible to prevent them from appearing in the first place and reduce those that are already present. Here are a few key tips to keep your skin looking young and radiant for as long as possible:
- Sun protection: Use sunscreen every day to protect your skin from UV rays.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water and use moisturizing products.
- Antioxidant care: Use products that contain vitamin C, vitamin E or retinol, which can help stimulate collagen production.
- Healthy lifestyle: Avoid smoking, get enough sleep, and eat a diet rich in antioxidants.
- Cosmetic treatments: If you already have wrinkles and are concerned about them, consider aesthetic treatments such as HA, Botox or laser.
