I Have Aging Thin Sun Damaged Skin. What Can I Do to Fix Crinkly Fine Lines and Wrinkles on my Cheeks? (photo)

January 7, 2013
Asked By:squirrelmonkey in Royal Tunbridge Wells, GB

I'm aware I can get Botox for the lines near my eyes and a filler for deep lines near my mouth, but my biggest area of concern is the thin wrinkly skin on my cheeks (see pictures). It makes me look older than my 40 years. I have very thin skin--not sure whether to call the lines wrinkles, fine lines or just plain skin damage. I read that chemical peels can thin the skin out even more. I don't want to do any more damage. Is there a procedure to fix or improve the appearance of these lines on my cheeks?
