What Are Wrinkles?
Over time, the appearance of the face and neck changes as we lose muscle tone, volume, and skin elasticity, causing visible creases to form. Facial aging also involves the creation of static and dynamic lines that develop through normal everyday expressions and muscular animation.
Dynamic lines occur with muscle action, such as the deepening of furrows between the eyebrows when we frown. As we age, these expression lines can slowly settle into more permanent creases, much like ironing a fold into a shirt. Static variations, on the other hand, are visible even at rest without any muscle movement.
What Causes Facial Ageing?
Structural changes and fine lines can be accelerated by sun exposure, genetics, smoking, and poor nutritional habits. These factors contribute to a premature loss of collagen in the skin, leading to the early formation of deep creases along with a noticeable loss of structural tone and volume.
