Preventing Dynamic Lines from Becoming Static Lines with Muscle-relaxing treatment
Understanding Static and Dynamic Lines in Facial Treatments
When considering treatments for facial lines and wrinkles, it’s important to understand the difference between static lines and dynamic lines, as this influences the outcomes you can expect.
What Are Static Lines?
Static lines are visible wrinkles or folds that remain present even when your face is at rest, without any facial movement. These lines can develop over time due to factors such as natural ageing, sun exposure, lifestyle choices, and the gradual loss of skin elasticity and collagen. They may also result from the deepening of dynamic lines over the years. Static lines are a normal part of the ageing process, influenced by gravity, hydration levels, and volume loss in the face.
What Are Dynamic Lines?
Dynamic lines appear only when facial muscles contract during expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting. These lines are temporary and typically fade when the face is relaxed. Over time, as the skin’s elasticity decreases and repetitive muscle movements continue, dynamic lines can become more permanent, eventually developing into static lines.
How Treatments Work
Certain muscle-relaxing treatments can help reduce the appearance of dynamic lines by temporarily reducing muscle activity. This may prevent these lines from deepening or becoming static lines over time. These treatments are performed by qualified medical professionals and tailored to your individual needs.
