Fine lines & Wrinkles
Fine lines & wrinkles are often one of the very first signs of aging. Fine lines are shallow lines that are superficial and closer to the skin’s surface while wrinkles are deeper. As we age, fine lines may turn into wrinkles.
Types of Fine lines & Wrinkles
Dynamic Wrinkles
Static Wrinkles
What causes it
What causes Fine lines & Wrinkles?
Aging
Collagen and elastin fibers are two major proteins that provide structure to skin’s firmness and elasticity. As we age, there is an increase in collagen and elastin breakdown. At the same time, there is also a decrease in collagen and elastin production. When this occurs, static wrinkles form on the skin’s surface.
Repeated facial expressions
Fine lines and wrinkles can form as a result of muscle contractions when we make facial expressions. For example, dynamic wrinkles often form at the corners of eyelids, between the eyebrows, and near the lips and forehead as a result of repeated facial expressions such as squinting, smiling and laughing.
Sun exposure
Research suggests that sun exposure is responsible for 80 percent of collagen and elastin reduction. The sun also weakens the bond between the dermis (a connective tissue layer of skin) and the epidermis (the outer layer of skin). As a result, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity and forms wrinkles.
You can slow down skin’s aging with collagen stimulation treatments such as AestheFill and Thread Lift.
