Wrinkles & Lines
Wrinkles are a natural, if not pesky, part of ageing. Caused by sun exposure, face muscle contractions, and smoking.
Wrinkles are a by–product of the ageing process. With age skin cells divide more slowly and the inner layer called the dermis begins to thin. The network of elastin and collagen fibres, loosen and unravel causing loss of skin elasticity and depressions on the surface.
Wrinkles & lines fall into two categories: dynamic and static.
- Dynamic wrinkles — these develop from repeated facial movements. If you pucker your lips around a straw frequently, you might get lip lines.
- Static wrinkles — these result from a loss of elasticity and the taking over of gravity. Wrinkles that you see on the lower cheek are static.
Dynamic wrinkles can become static wrinkles over time. Fine smile lines morph into more prominent folds when our cheeks loose plumpness and slump in middle age.
