ABSTRACT
Introduction: The visible signs of skin aging are essentially represented by the
appearance of wrinkles, which are depressions in the skin's surface that interrupt the
uniformity.
Objective: To determine the locations and amounts of facial wrinkles in men and women.
Methods: A descriptive, observational study was carried out in 60 people, thirty men and
thirty women with ages between 40-49 years. The description of the wrinkles was made
by somatoscopy. In the cases presenting wrinkles all over the face, they were interviewed
about the factors that influence facial aging.
Results: The entire sample had wrinkles under the eyelids. Men had greater number of
wrinkles on the forehead, between the eyebrows and the neck and women surpassed them
in the so-called chicken feet. Nine men have wrinkles all over their faces compared to
only four women. On the other hand, 25% of women with wrinkles all over their faces
use makeup sporadically and 50% every day.
Conclusions: All the patients had wrinkles under their eyelids, and there was higher
frequency of men with wrinkles all over the face. Among the factors that influence facial
aging, in women the daily consumption of less than 1.5 liters of water predominated,
followed by oily skin, while in men, it was oily skin, followed by the daily consumption
of less than 1.5 liters of water, and working with sun exposure.
