名前が示すように、これらの線は私たちの表現から発生します。 それらは私たちの顔の筋肉の圧力に反応する、例えば、微笑、笑う、顔をしかめるなど、潜在意識の緊張と同様に何年も生じます。 私たちの筋肉が収縮すると、折り目を起こるので、皮膚の上にしわになります。 しわが時間がたつにつれて、毎日の筋肉運動で深まるだけであり、筋肉が、長く緊張したままで残れば残るほど、しわが深くなるです。

真皮でコラーゲンとエラスチンを失うに伴う、皮膚は締めないで、そして、表情線は、しっかり見えてなる。

最も一般的な表情線は以下の通りです:

1. 目尻のしわ、または笑いの線。 これらは眼輪筋と呼ばれる眼の周りの筋肉によって引き起こります。
   
2. 額の横線。 これらは前頭筋と呼ばれる額の筋肉の上方移動で引き起こります。 顔をしかめようとするとき、または高くしているまゆと上側のまぶたで注意しているとき、起こります。
3. 眉間皺線。 まゆを中央まで引き合わせて、不承知で顔をしかめているとき、または当惑させられるときです。 線はまゆの間の2か3個の縦線として現れます、時々非常に深いので、それらはナイフカットに似ています。
4. 唇からの外で広がる縦線。 これらは喫煙などの唇を頻繁なすぼめることにかかわる習慣です。

一つの額のボトクッス治療の例:

表情線を改良するためかなり多くの方法があります。 フィラー (fillers)、または、ボトクッスなどの注射可能物質があります。 フィラーは単にスペースを埋めることによって、ダイナミックであるというよりむしろ休ませている線には、より理想的です。ボトクッスは筋肉に動かないようにして、その間の多くの表情を許せないです。 時間を立っていて、筋肉は、それほど頻繁でない注射でさらにリラックスすることを学びます。 考えにもかかわらず、ボトックッスがこの理由で非常に人気があるようになりました。 表情の不足を心配するかもしれませんが、これは正常な生活を妨げません。

外科美容整形はまた、できるが、しわと深い表情線が再現する前におよそ5-7年間です。それはどんな手術と同じように危険を冒しています。 現在 フラクショナルCO2 レーザと 肌引き締めるレーザー にほとんど取り替えます。

Crow’s Feet or smile lines are those lines on the sides of the eyes. They are caused by the contraction of the circular muscle surrounding the eyes. Sunken temples and sagging upper eyelids will also make the crow’s feet deeper in appearance.

The most direct way of treating crow’s feet is to inject Botulinum over the area. The Botulinum directly reduces the contraction strength of the muscles and therefore the muscles cannot create the creases as usual. The effect usually comes on in 3 to 5 days and will last for about 5 to 6 months. However, with repeated injections over time, the muscles will learn to relax more and the frequency of injections can become less and less often gradually.

Points of Injections

Some people worry that the Botulinum will make them look frozen. Normally this should not happen, and if it does even slightly, it is due to improper technique of the injector or too much dosage is being injected. Experience is important here.

Also, it helps to inject a small amount of Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler to make the skin fuller and more resistant to have creases when smiling.

Surgical face lift also helps to improve expression lines but this is the ultimate option, and it probably holds for only 5 to 7 years, after that the lines will reappear. It is also important to take into account the large surgical risks associated with it. It is now largely replaced by other treatment modalities and with appropriate preventive treatments, this can be totally avoided. For examples:

• Sculptra
• Thread Lift

Other high energy devices treatments, including:

• Laser Skin Tightening
• Fractional CO2 Laser
• Radio-Frequency
• High Intensity Focused Ultrasound

These horizontal lines are caused by the upward contraction of the forehead muscles, when someone is expressing a tense surprised emotion, or raising the eyebrows and upper eyelids during an alert state.

Some people worry that the Botulinum will make them look frozen. Normally this should not happen, and if it does even slightly, it is due to improper technique of the injector or too much dosage is being injected. Experience is important here. There is a chance of mild drooping of the upper eyelids for some older persons or if there is already pre-existing eyelids drooping.

Alternatively we can also consider:

• Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler
• Sculptra
• Thread Lift

These lines happen when one is expressing an emotion of disapproval or feeling puzzled, and draws the eyebrows towards the middle. There are 2 to 3 vertical lines and sometimes they can be so deep that they look like scars from cutting injuries.

As said, the lines can be very deep, in that case it may necessary to add in extra Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler to smooth them out.

Just a note to mention that those vertical lines surrounding the mouth are frequently caused by movement to tight up the lips, such as smoking, while the naso-labial folds will deepen on smiling. These two types of lines cannot use Botulinum to rectify.
