Facial lines and wrinkles

Main consequence of ageing is loose skin and volume loss

Facial lines and wrinkles form because of various factors: Ageing process, sun damage, muscle movement, gravity, acne, surgery, smoking and other skin diseases. There is often a degree of asymmetry to the lines, as people tend to smile or frown more on one side than the other, or consistently sleep on the right or the left cheek.

Fine lines
Fine lines and wrinkles arise because of irregular thickening of the dermis and because of a decrease in the amount of water held by the epidermis. This is mainly caused by sun damage and exposure to environmental toxins such as tobacco smoke.

Furrows
Deeper lines or furrows are classified as dynamic or static. Dynamic lines appear with movement i.e. the activity of facial muscles. Static lines are unchanged with muscle movement. Eventually dynamic lines become static. For example: Crow's feet around the eyes are due to smiling and activity of the eyelid muscles. Worry lines on the forehead are due to contraction of the frontalis muscle when raising the eyebrows
