Not All Lines Are the Same
Many people use the terms wrinkle and crease interchangeably. But they are not identical.
Understanding the difference changes how you approach treatment.
What Is a Wrinkle?
Wrinkles are typically surface-level lines caused by:
-
Dehydration
-
Sun exposure
-
Skin texture changes
They respond well to topical skincare and hydration.
What Is a Crease?
A crease is a structural fold formed by repeated movement.
Examples include:
-
Nasolabial folds
-
Marionette lines
These lines are reinforced over time through repetitive bending.
Why This Difference Matters
Surface wrinkles may improve with creams.
Structural creases may require mechanical support approaches.
That is why some individuals explore wrinkle patches designed for smile lines and facial folds.
