Understanding
the Concern
Wrinkles and fine lines are a natural aspect of the aging process, influenced by various factors like genetics, sun exposure, smoking, and repetitive facial expressions.
The aging journey involves the natural loss of collagen and elastin, essential proteins responsible for skin elasticity and firmness, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
When exposed to the outdoors, the sun’s UV radiation damages collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, accelerating the aging process and causing premature wrinkles. Additionally, pollution and environmental toxins can contribute to skin damage and untimely aging.
If you’re a smoker, quitting is advisable, as smoking constricts blood vessels in the skin, reducing blood flow and oxygen supply, leading to premature aging and wrinkles. Lastly, everyday facial expressions like squinting or smiling can result in dynamic wrinkles, including crow’s feet or frown lines.
