What causes facial wrinkles?
Facial wrinkles are caused by a number of factors;
Dynamic lines – these are wrinkles that are caused by contraction of the muscles of facial expression. Repeated compression of the skin along these lines breaks down the collagen fibres which support the skin to form specific lines and wrinkles. Initially, these wrinkles can only be seen when the muscles contract e.g when you smile/frown, however, as the skin gets older, the skin cells become lazier and there are fewer of them, so it becomes more creased and the lines may often appear at rest.
Loss of facial volume – When we are younger, our face is more plump and full, as time passes, this volume is lost around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead. This loss of volume leads to some bagginess of skin and the formation of wrinkles.
Sun damage – UV exposure is the leading cause of premature ageing. Exposure to UV light breaks down your skin’s connective tissue — collagen and elastin fibers.
Hormonal changes – Estrogens are anti-inflammatory; they increase hydration and structural integrity, increase collagen production. Decreased levels of female sex hormones during menopause result in thinning and increased wrinkling of the skin, reduced elasticity, firmness and strength. Because of these effects, capillaries are reduced and therefore blood flow, lessening nutrients to the skin.
