Identity Profile: Sleep Wrinkles (Compression Wrinkles)

Definition: Furrows that result from skin distortion due to mechanical compression exerted on the facial skin against the pillow during sleep, and which become marked over time.

Internal and external causes: Sleeping habits (position on the side or on the stomach).

How to reduce or eliminate them: If the wrinkles are shallow, use a hyaluronic acid treatment to plump up the skin; if the wrinkles are deeply set and have been present for a long time, consider aesthetic medicine with hyaluronic acid injections (an immediate but temporary solution).

Preventive measures: Sleeping on your back; applying a hyaluronic acid-based treatment daily; using an anti-wrinkle sleep pillow.
