Lines & wrinkles

Something we all face as we get older—lines and wrinkles. These are those creases, folds, or ridges that show up on our skin, and they can range from fine surface lines to deeper furrows.

So, what causes these lines and wrinkles? A few main factors are at play. Aging naturally reduces collagen and elastin production, which keeps our skin firm and elastic. Sun exposure is another big one; those UV rays speed up skin aging and the formation of wrinkles. Smoking also contributes because nicotine restricts blood flow to the skin, promoting premature aging. Repeated facial expressions, like smiling or frowning, can lead to dynamic wrinkles. And don’t forget about dehydration and poor nutrition—both can negatively affect your skin’s health.

But don’t worry, there are plenty of treatments to help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Botox is great for temporarily relaxing muscles to smooth out dynamic wrinkles. Dermal fillers can add volume and plump up the skin, reducing static wrinkles. Chemical peels remove the outer layer of skin, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin. Laser resurfacing uses lasers to promote collagen production and improve skin texture.

And of course, taking care of your skin daily is key. Regular use of sunscreen, moisturizers, and products with retinoids and antioxidants can help maintain youthful skin.
