Here's a report from AAD.org about the facial aging process:

Intrinsic aging is the natural process of aging that begins late in life and is characterized by a loss of substance to the skin and the underlying fat resulting in a gaunt, thin look with hollowed cheeks and eye sockets. The treatment options for this type of aging are aimed at replacement of the lost tissue, such as solid implants, which are surgically placed under the skin, or fat transfer, where fat and tissue from other parts of the patients´ body are used to fill in deeper wrinkles and contour the "hills and valleys" associated with aging.

Much as a napkin gets a crease when it is folded in a drawer too long, sleep lines etch the surface of the skin and occur from putting the face into the same position on the pillow every night. "Even though these lines may seem to diminish or disappear once a patient is no longer lying in bed, if the patient assumes the same sleeping posture every evening, these lines will return creating more damage," said Dr. Elson. Due to different sleep patterns, women tend to see these types of lines on their chin and cheeks, while men notice them on their foreheads.

Since changing sleep positions is challenging for some patients, dermatologists recommend the use of botulinum rejuvenation to hold the skin taut. Botulinum rejuvenation is an increasingly popular cosmetic procedure where dermatologists carefully inject a low dose of botulinum toxin into a patient´s facial muscles, causing temporary relaxation of the injected muscles. The procedure is non-invasive, features practically no recovery time and can safely and effectively reduce the appearance of facial lines, crow´s feet and wrinkles when performed by a qualified physician.
