Understanding Skin Aging 

What are wrinkles & fine lines? 

Wrinkles and fine lines are the first visible signs of skin aging and progressive loss of firmness. Common on mature skin, they develop due to age, repeated facial movements, and external aggressors. 

They result from a decline in collagen, elastin, and hydration, three essential elements for firm, supple skin. 

Types include: 

  • Fine, superficial lines (dehydration lines) 
  • Deeper wrinkles (expression or structural wrinkles) often seen on the forehead, glabella (frown lines), crow’s feet, lips, neck, and chest. 

These natural signs of aging can be visibly softened through medical-aesthetic treatments that stimulate skin regeneration and restore radiance, firmness, and harmony.

    Causes & Triggering Factors

    Wrinkles develop due to natural aging and external aggressors that weaken the skin over time. 

    Natural skin aging

    Collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production decrease with age. The skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and more prone to wrinkles. 

    Natural skin aging with a decline in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, making the skin less firm.

    Sun exposure 

    UV rays break down supportive fibers, accelerating premature aging and wrinkle formation on the face, neck, and décolleté. 

    Sun exposure damaging the skin’s support fibers and accelerating premature aging and the appearance of wrinkles.

    Repeated muscle contractions 

    Smiling, frowning, and squinting repeatedly crease the skin. Over time, these expression lines deepen. 

    Repeated muscle contractions marking the skin, as facial expressions gradually contribute to the formation of expression lines.

    Skin dehydration 

    Lack of water emphasizes superficial lines,  especially around the eyes and mouth. 

    Skin dehydration accentuating fine lines, especially around the eyes and mouth, and reducing skin suppleness.

    External factors & lifestyle 

    Smoking, stress, pollution, and lack of sleep increase oxidative stress, accelerating collagen breakdown and early signs of aging. 

    External factors and lifestyle habits such as smoking, stress, and pollution accelerating collagen breakdown and wrinkles.
