Laugh lines, frown lines, crows feet, glabellar lines — they are all facial wrinkles that are common to both men and women. Women, unfortunately, tend to get more and deeper wrinkles around the mouth than men do, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. A wide variety of products claims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles visibly, but the effectiveness of over-the-counter medications is limited, due to the minimal amounts of active ingredients. Effective wrinkle treatment usually requires a prescription.

Wrinkles are part of the natural aging process. There are plenty of causes, including exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, reduced production of skin oils, natural thinning of the skin and the loss of deep-layer body fat that comes with age. Sometimes the repeated facial expressions you make every day can contribute to lines and wrinkles around your eyes, forehead and lips. Many women, and a fair number of men, elect to treat their lip wrinkles with Botox.

Waxing, plucking or shaving to remove hair can become tiring, especially if you have a lot of excess body hair. You have several options for longer lasting and more effective hair removal, including laser hair removal. One downside of laser hair removal is that it can be expensive. It typically lasts considerably longer than other hair removal treatments, though.
