Why do my scalp have wrinkles?

Strong Muscle: S-skin c-cutaneous tissue a- aponeurosis l- loose areolar tissue p- pericranium those are the layers of scalp, the aponeurosis is connected to occipito-frontalis muscle, and all wrinkles due the action of an underlying muscles. Botox can help, but would be an off label use.
