    The document discussed the causes and treatments of fine lines, or atrophic rhytids, which are primarily due to dermal thinning caused by the loss of collagen and elastin. It highlighted the importance of recognizing different types of rhytids and their molecular causes for effective treatment. The histopathology of fine lines was detailed, emphasizing the complex structure of the skin. In-office evaluations should include a thorough cosmetic history and consideration of any medical issues that could affect healing. Special attention was given to the periorbital region due to its unique characteristics. The document concluded that aging skin undergoes various changes, including roughened texture, yellowing, visible capillaries, and irregular pigmentation, posing a significant challenge for cosmetic physicians in treating fine lines.
