Lines & Wrinkles
Most people by the age of 30 will show signs of lines and wrinkles. As we continue to age they will become permanent as the skin loses its firmness, elasticity and structure. This occurs mainly because of impaired function and loss of collagen and elastin fibres, as well as a reduction in volume of the skins ground substance, such as hyaluronic acid.
Lines and wrinkles are classified into 2 groups, static and dynamic.
Static lines exist without muscle movement, such as sleep lines or the lines going from the nose to the mouth (Nasolabial folds) and occur due to a loss of volume and sagging skin. Dynamic lines are caused by the muscles of facial expression creating folds in the skin, causing lines to deepen with repeated muscular action.
