When I smile, I have small lines in cheeks that have progressively gotten worse. What would you recommend to correct it? (photo)

Thank you for
your question crisylynn. I understand your concern. Fillers are used to
restore lost volume in and enhance the appearance of the face. Fine lines on the cheeks are common concerns. For my patients I recommend combining retinoids with fractional CO2 lasers. Retinoids can irritate the skin and some people start by using less product and using it less frequently for the first few weeks. The skin will slowly adjust and more will be tolerated. Fillers can also be used but I find that laser work better for very fine lines. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations.  Good luck!

these are called laugh or smile lines. there are many ways to address this.  They can be filled in with dermal fillers.  They also can be treated with microneedling, microneedling with RF and or laser treatments.  RetinA is a good option for skin care. You may want to decrease the dose or use a time released preparation.  Good skin care and sun avoidance moving forward will help to repair these lines and delay the onset.
