Lines and wrinkles form anywhere on our bodies from repetitive movements, or age and gravity. Most patients treat forehead, worry, laugh, lip, eye and/or jowl lines.
What is it?
Creases and fine lines may develop due to a mix of elements, with the most prevalent being:
Age and Gravity
With aging, skin naturally loses its collagen and elastin, resulting in decreased skin flexibility and the emergence of creases and fine lines.
Facial Expressions
Constant facial movements such as smiling, frowning, and squinting can lead to the formation of wrinkles.
Sun Exposure
Extended exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can hasten the aging process, leading to early onset wrinkles and fine lines. We emphasize the importance of daily sunscreen use in your skincare routine for protection!
Loss of Fat
As we get older, we naturally lose facial volume, which can result in sagging skin and creases. Weight loss can also contribute to this, as the skin may not regain its elasticity as fast as the fat disappears.
Creases and fine lines can appear anywhere on our body, but the majority of our patients are primarily concerned with treating lines on the forehead, worry lines, laugh lines, lip lines, and jowl lines. The areas around the outer corners of the eyes, known as crow's feet, are also a common concern. At Clarkston Dermatology, we address all of these, plus lines and wrinkles on the neck and decolletage.
