• Due to age: As age increases, aging occurs more rapidly after giving birth. This causes the musculoskeletal system to age and sag, creating wrinkles on the face including laugh lines.
• Due to lack of Collagen: Collagen has the effect of rejuvenating the skin and toning the muscles. After the age of 25, the amount of collagen will gradually decrease, if not added cells will decline, causing deep grooves to appear on the forehead, face, nose, mouth ...
• Genetics: Genetic factors are also the cause of smile lines.
• Due to facial expressions: Crying, laughing or expressing any emotions happy, sad, angry... also contribute to deepening the laugh groove.

• Lazy skin care: When exposed to a smoky environment, if you don't remove makeup and exfoliate , your skin will age quickly.
• Unscientific living habits: Eating hot spicy foods, using stimulants or staying up late, lying on your side or stomach... are also factors that cause deep laughter.
