WHAT ARE SLEEP WRINKLES?

These are wrinkles caused specifically when the skin is deformed when coming into contact with the pillow while you sleep on your side or stomach.
With age, these wrinkles stop fading away in the morning and become permanent.
Often, the skin is deformed along the lines of existing expression wrinkles, making them deeper and more prominent.
The average head weighs 11lbs creating a lot of pressure to your skin when sleeping on the side or stomach.

Look how skin can get stretched and compressed during 8 hours of sleep on a regular pillow.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THESE WRINKLES

We consider expression wrinkles to be the main component of youthful skin. But not all wrinkles on our face are caused by our facial expressions.

EXPRESSION WRINKLES

Occur due to repeated facial expressions

SLEEP WRINKLES

Caused by repeated pressure on your face when sleeping on your side or stomach

TAKE NOTE

SLEEP WRINKLES CAN MAKE EXPRESSION WRINKLES MORE PROMINENT

since the skin tends to crease along already existing wrinkles. The fragile skin around the eyes and lips is especially vulnerable.

SLEEP WRINKLES ALMOST ALWAYS RUN VERTICALLY,

but since no two faces are the same and we have different sleep habits, the creases can also be horizontal (especially in the eye area).

ANTI-WRINKLE COSMETIC PROCEDURES

There are currently many ways to successfully correct expression wrinkles with preparations made from bolutotoxin, as well as hyaluronic acid-based fillers.

When we smile or frown, our facial muscles contract for only a short time, while the skin deformation caused by contact with the pillow lasts for hours. This is why sleep wrinkles are more difficult to correct, and using fillers only produces a short-term effect.
Silk or satin pillowcases may reduce friction between your skin and the pillow, but it’s hard to believe that they can eliminate the pressure of an 11lb head causing skin indentation and eventually sleep wrinkles.
