What Causes Wrinkles?
If you know what kind of wrinkles you have, you have a better chance of repairing and preventing them.
Surprisingly, sun damage is only part of it. Wrinkles are caused my muscle action – think frown lines, upper lip lines and crow’s feet. And…. they are caused by loss of volume under the skin – think sagging as the fat pads and bone and skin thin over the facial structure. And…..they are caused by loss of elasticity due mostly to sun damage and partly to regular aging.
Skin care products help with repair and prevention (with retinoids for repair and sunscreen for protection). And there are a number of different treatment options for wrinkles, depending on what caused yours and what type of aging your skin is showing.
See Dr. Irwin’s article on Wrinkles, with links to more info on treatment options.
