These are fine, loose or wrinkled folds, visible at rest or on the move, often associated with a loss of skin firmness, elasticity or density. Dermal wrinkling is also common on the cheeks, under the eyes and on the neck.
What are the causes?
- Natural skin aging (intrinsic)
- Decrease in collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
- Thinning of the dermis and loss of tone.
- Photo-aging (sun)
- UV damage to elastic fibers (solar elastosis).
- Early appearance of fine lines and loss of density.
- Chronic dehydration
- Dry or atopic skin with small folds.
- Subcutaneous fat loss
- Melting of cheek volumes, with an impression of excessively large, wrinkled skin (thinning).

What can we do?
Consult your aesthetic dermatologist to evaluate the appropriate treatment plan:
1. Appropriate skin care (retinol, retinal, tretinoin):
(including a daily 50+ sun cream).
2. Skinbooster :
Fluid hyaluronic acid injections for deep rehydration without volume gain (subtle plumping, improved wrinkling).
3. Hyaluronic acid :
Injecting hyaluronic acid to restore volume
4. ND:YAG laser (non-ablative laser) :
Controlled heat dermal remodeling (No social eviction, gradual tightening effect. 4 sessions 2 weeks apart are required to obtain a firmer appearance)
5. Ablative fractional CO₂ laser :
Skin remodeling inducing the production of type I and III collagen and elastin.
