What Are Wrinkles?
Wrinkles are folds, creases, or lines that form on the skin's surface as part of the natural aging process. They can appear as fine superficial lines or as deep furrows that alter the appearance of the face, projecting an image of fatigue or appearing older than your actual age.
There are two main types: dynamic wrinkles, which appear when you make facial expressions (such as frowning, smiling, or squinting) and are caused by the repeated contraction of facial muscles; and static wrinkles, which remain visible even at rest due to the accumulated loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the skin.
Over time, dynamic wrinkles become static if left untreated. This is why an early preventive and corrective approach can make a significant difference in the quality and appearance of your skin over the years. For international patients traveling to Lima, Peru, Elyzea offers world-class wrinkle treatments at a fraction of the cost you would pay in the US or Europe.

Why Do Wrinkles Appear?
Wrinkle formation is a multifactorial process involving both intrinsic factors (genetic and biological) and extrinsic factors (environmental and lifestyle-related).
Chronological aging: Starting around age 25, collagen production decreases by approximately 1% per year. Elastin also degrades progressively, reducing the skin's ability to bounce back after each facial expression.
Sun exposure (photoaging): Ultraviolet radiation is the leading external cause of wrinkles. It destroys collagen and elastin fibers, generates oxidative stress, and causes irregular skin thickening. It is estimated that up to 80% of visible facial aging is due to accumulated sun exposure.
Repetitive facial expressions: Every time you smile, frown, or squint, your facial muscles compress the skin. Over the years, these repeated folds become permanently etched into the skin's surface.
Other factors: Smoking, environmental pollution, chronic stress, dehydration, a diet poor in antioxidants, and insufficient sleep all significantly accelerate the appearance of wrinkles.
Types of Wrinkles and Common Areas
Understanding the type of wrinkle and its location is essential for choosing the most effective treatment.
Forehead lines: Horizontal creases that appear when raising the eyebrows. These are among the first dynamic wrinkles to become visible and respond excellently to neuromodulators.
Frown lines (glabella): The well-known "11 lines" between the eyebrows, caused by repeated frowning. They can give a permanent expression of anger or concern.
Crow's feet: Fine lines around the eyes that become more pronounced when smiling or squinting. They are among the most commonly treated wrinkles in aesthetic medicine.
Nasolabial folds: Creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. They deepen with the loss of mid-facial volume and gravity.
Perioral lines (lip lines): Vertical wrinkles around the lips, more common in women and worsened by smoking.
Neck lines: Horizontal bands and loss of definition along the jawline, signs of progressive cervical sagging.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wrinkles
The ideal treatment depends on the type of wrinkle. Dynamic wrinkles (those that appear when you make facial expressions) respond best to neuromodulators such as botulinum toxin. Static wrinkles (visible at rest) are effectively treated with HIFU or Morpheus8, which stimulate collagen production. At Elyzea, Dr. Geldres evaluates each case and designs a personalized plan that may combine multiple techniques for optimal results.
There is no fixed age, as it depends on genetics, lifestyle, and sun exposure. However, many specialists recommend starting preventive treatments from age 25-30 to keep collagen production active, and corrective treatments from 35-40 when wrinkles become more noticeable.
The vast majority of wrinkle treatments we offer at Elyzea are minimally invasive and well tolerated. Neuromodulators are applied with ultra-fine needles causing minimal discomfort. HIFU may produce a targeted sensation of warmth, and Morpheus8 is performed with topical anesthesia for comfort. No general anesthesia or hospitalization is required.
Duration varies by treatment: neuromodulators last 4 to 6 months, HIFU results last 12 to 24 months, and Morpheus8 can maintain its effects for up to 18 months. A regular maintenance program helps preserve and improve results over time.
Yes, combining treatments often delivers the most comprehensive results. For example, neuromodulators relax dynamic wrinkles while HIFU or Morpheus8 work on overall skin firmness. Dr. Geldres designs personalized combination protocols based on each patient's needs.
