Lines and wrinkles form anywhere on our bodies from repetitive movements, amplified by age and gravity. Patients typically treat forehead, worry, laugh, lip, eye and/or jowl lines.
What is it?
Various factors contribute to the development of fine lines and wrinkles, the most prevalent of which include:
Age and Gravity
As the skin matures, it tends to lose collagen and elastin naturally. This leads to a decrease in skin elasticity and results in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Facial Expressions
Constant facial movements such as smiling, frowning, and squinting can lead to the formation of wrinkles over time.
Sun Exposure
Long-term exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can hasten the skin's aging process, resulting in premature fine lines and wrinkles. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of incorporating sunscreen into your daily skincare routine!
Loss of Fat
As we grow older, we lose facial volume naturally, leading to sagging skin and wrinkle formation. Weight loss can also contribute to this, as the skin might not tighten as rapidly as the fat is shed.
How is it treated?
Wrinkles are an inevitable aspect of aging, yet if they distress you, our group of board-certified professionals at our dermatology clinic provide a variety of effective treatments from Botox to topical treatements to soften wrinkles and reduce their appearance.
