A wrinkle detection apparatus is an apparatus for detecting a wrinkle area of skin included in an image. The wrinkle detection apparatus includes a first threshold processing unit that detects a first edge area included in the image by performing first threshold processing for comparing a gradient value that indicates a degree of change in pixel values in the image with a first threshold, a second threshold processing unit that detects a second edge area included in the image by performing second threshold processing for comparing the gradient value with a second threshold, and an edge selection processing unit that determines a wrinkle area based on an overlapping area in which the first edge area and the second edge area are overlapped.
