Examples of dynamic wrinkles: wrinkles between the eyebrows ((glabellar wrinkles), forehead wrinkles, and wrikles near the outer corners of the eyes (crow’s feet). Dynamic wrinkles are best treated by Botox injections.

2. Static wrinkles are caused by skin damage from sun, tanning, smoking, genetics, or poor nutrition. Prolonged dynamic wrinkling can cause static wrinkles. Belotero dermal filler is excellent for the treatment of fine static wrinkles.
