Fine Lines/Wrinkles

Medical Aesthetics In Clarksville, MD

What Are Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

Fine lines and wrinkles are visible signs of aging that develop as the skin loses its natural elasticity and firmness. Typically forming around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, they are caused by repetitive facial expressions, decreased collagen production, and exposure to environmental stressors. While these lines are a normal part of the aging process, they tend to deepen with time, gradually diminishing the skin’s smooth, youthful look. Proper skincare and targeted treatments can help reduce their appearance and support skin health.

What Are the Causes of Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

Skin gradually loses collagen and elasticity, leading to fine lines.
UV rays damage skin cells, accelerating the aging process.
Repeated expressions gradually form lines in specific areas.
Toxins in smoke reduce blood flow, affecting skin’s elasticity.
Environmental pollutants damage skin, contributing to wrinkles.
