Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet are fine lines around the eyes caused by expressions, sun exposure, and aging. Topical treatments with retinoids, peptides, and hyaluronic acid can reduce their appearance. Prevention includes sunscreen, hydrating skincare, and avoiding excessive squinting, while treatments like Botox and chemical peels offer more dramatic results.
Dark Circles Under Eyes
Dark circles under the eyes are discolorations or shadows that appear beneath the lower eyelids, typically caused by factors like genetics, aging, or lack of sleep.
Dimpled Chin
A dimpled chin, also known as a “peach pit chin” or “orange peel chin,” refers to the appearance of small indentations or dimples on the chin area.
Drooping Eyelids
Drooping eyelids, also known as ptosis, occur when the upper eyelid droops or sags, often obscuring the natural contour of the eye.
Enlarged Pores
Enlarged pores are visibly larger openings on the skin’s surface, often caused by factors like excess oil production, aging, or genetics.
Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating, also known as hyperhidrosis, is a condition characterized by uncontrollable sweating that exceeds the body’s normal physiological needs.
Facial Asymmetry
Facial asymmetry occurs when the two sides of the face do not exactly mirror each other. Observable differences may include variations in eye size, cheek shape, or nose position, among other facial features.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are common signs of aging, appearing as small creases or folds in the skin’s surface.
Forehead Lines
Forehead lines are horizontal creases that develop across the forehead, often caused by repeated facial expressions like raising the eyebrows or frowning.
Glabellar Lines
Glabellar lines, also known as “frown lines” or “11 lines,” are vertical creases that form between the eyebrows, typically due to muscle movement and aging.
Gummy Smile
A gummy smile occurs when an excessive amount of gum tissue is visible above the upper teeth when smiling, often caused by hyperactive lip muscles or an overgrowth of gum tissue.
High Cheekbones vs Low Cheekbones
Cheekbone structure can greatly impact facial appearance. High cheekbones create a more defined and sculpted look, while low cheekbones may give a softer or less prominent appearance.
Hollow Temples
Hollow temples refer to sunken or concave areas on the sides of the forehead, often associated with aging or volume loss in the face.
Hormonal Acne
Hormonal acne is acne that develops in response to hormonal fluctuations, often occurring during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause.

Hyperpigmentation is the darkening of the skin due to an overproduction of melanin, resulting in patches, spots, or areas of discoloration.
Lip Lines
Lip lines, also known as “smoker’s lines” or “lip wrinkles,” are vertical lines that develop around the lips, typically due to aging, sun exposure, or repetitive movements like puckering.
Marionette Lines
Marionette lines are the vertical creases that extend from the corners of the mouth down to the chin, often giving the appearance of a puppet’s mouth.
Mental Crease
Mental crease, or chin wrinkles, can develop over time due to various factors such as aging, sun exposure, and repetitive facial expressions.

Neck Bands
Neck bands, also known as platysmal bands, are vertical lines or cords that appear on the neck, typically due to muscle laxity or aging.

Sagging jowls refer to the loss of firmness and definition in the lower face, resulting in drooping or sagging skin along the jawline.
Sunken Cheeks
Sunken cheeks, also known as hollow or gaunt cheeks, occur when there is a loss of volume in the cheek area, resulting in a hollow or sunken appearance.
Thin Lips
Thin lips refer to lips that lack fullness or volume, often considered less defined or less attractive compared to fuller lips.
Under-eye Bags
Under-eye bags are swelling or puffiness beneath the lower eyelids, often caused by factors like aging, genetics, or fluid retention.
Weak Chin
A weak chin, also known as a receding chin or microgenia, occurs when the chin is not well-defined or lacks projection, resulting in a less balanced facial profile.
