Perioral Wrinkles: Histologic Differences Between Men And Women

Men and women need different facial rejuvenation treatments due to distinct aging processes and anatomical differences.

This review examines how male facial anatomy and behavior contribute to sexual dimorphism in facial aging, pointing to factors that accelerate aging in men but presents no new clinical results.

This study identified sex-specific determinants for facial wrinkles, finding that age is the strongest factor and that lifestyle influences like smoking, alcohol use, and skin color differentially affect wrinkling in men and women.

This summary explains the different types of wrinkles, their causes, and their distinct microanatomical characteristics, noting that each type may respond differently to treatments.

This study examined the subcutaneous structures in forehead creases using cadavers and observed that dense fibrous structures connecting the dermis to the frontalis muscle, as well as specific epidermal and dermal characteristics, may contribute to the formation of these creases.
