Hello there,
Let’s talk about something I often get asked about during consultations—sleep lines. If you’ve ever woken up with creases on your face that seem to linger a bit too long, you’re not alone. In this blog, I’ll walk you through what sleep lines are, how to prevent them, and what we can do in the clinic to treat them effectively.
Sleep lines are those vertical or diagonal wrinkles that show up mostly on the cheeks, temples, and sometimes around the mouth. They form from your face being pressed into a pillow night after night, especially if you sleep on your side or stomach. Over time, this pressure causes the skin to fold in the same places repeatedly, eventually forming more permanent lines.
Think of it like folding a piece of paper—do it often enough, and the crease becomes permanent. Our skin works the same way!

Topical Creams:
If sleep lines are deeper or more stubborn, professional treatments are an excellent option. Here are two of my top recommendations:
These treatments work to strengthen your dermis by stimulating collagen, elastin, and fibrin—the building blocks of firm, youthful skin.

The truth? Once sleep lines are well-established, they can be difficult to fully eliminate. However, with consistent care—both at home and in the clinic—they can be greatly reduced. Every face is different, which is why I always recommend a personalized consultation to build the best plan for you.
We spend roughly a third of our lives sleeping, so your nighttime habits really do matter. Whether you’re just starting to see sleep lines or looking for ways to treat existing ones, there are effective solutions available.
