One way for preventing sleep wrinkles is to sleep on your back; Chinese women recognized this fact ages ago and always slept on their backs using concave porcelain pillows.
Another option is using a pillow (not a special anti wrinkle pillow) that minimizes facial sleep wrinkling, pillows with natural fill, such as duck down and feathers. This kind of pillow supports the head while providing softness, eliminating pressure on the skin, thus reducing sleep wrinkles. There are also anti wrinkle pillows available made in particular for preventing sleep wrinkles. An anti wrinkle pillow supports the head while keeping the face and eye tissue away from the pillow.
There are claims that silk rather than cotton pillow cases will also minimize the formation of sleep wrinkles. In the UK, this claim has recently been targeted by Britain’s Advertising Standards Agency which forced the advertiser to remove the claim that silk pillows have anti aging benefits, as there are no clinical studies proving that cotton pillow cases will induce more wrinkles or that using silk pillows will reduce them.
Another product targeting sleep wrinkles is a special pillowcase that is imbedded with copper micro fibers which according to the manufacture, serve to correct the skin during sleep due to copper’s ability to stimulate collagen production thus reducing the presence of lines and wrinkles.
Unfortunately, if you have developed sleep wrinkles, they may be difficult to treat with just the use of an anti wrinkle pillow. As we age, our skin loses its flexibility, skin that becomes wrinkled while sleeping will no longer readily recover after sleep, as it did when we were younger. Since sleep wrinkles aren’t the results of muscle contractions, products like Botox will not remove them. To treat them, the existing collagen needs to tighten and new collagen needs to form in the dermis in order to smooth the skin. A gold standard method for treating wrinkles is via TriPollar® RF, a clinically proven method with significant data of treatment safety and results.
