Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process.
The ability of our skin to protect itself is reduced as the production of natural collagen and elastin decreases.
This loss of elastic fibres and supportive skin tissue, slowly causes the skin texture to degrade.
Our skin gets thinner, drier, less elastic and we experience a loss of volume.
Eventually the tissue starts to sag and fine lines, wrinkles, and creases form in the folds of our skin.
Continuous muscle movement is also another major contributor to facial wrinkles.
Repeated muscle contractions cause 'dynamic wrinkles' which only appear when the muscle is used.
Over time, if untreated, these wrinkles can become 'static wrinkles' which means they become
deeper, more noticeable and permanently etched in our skin.
