Wrinkles

Wrinkles
  • Description

    Wrinkles are lines or folds that develop in the skin due to aging, repetitive facial movements, and environmental factors like sun exposure. They occur as collagen and elastin fibers break down, reducing skin elasticity. Treatments range from skincare products to cosmetic procedures aimed at minimizing their appearance.

  • Cause

    Wrinkles result from a combination of factors, including the natural aging process, which leads to a decrease in collagen and elastin production. Additionally, repetitive facial movements, such as smiling or squinting, can contribute to the formation of dynamic wrinkles over time. Environmental factors like sun exposure, smoking, and pollution can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to the development of wrinkles.

  • Treatment
