Wrinkles: Causes, Symptoms, & Treatment
What are Wrinkles?
As we age our skin will naturally become more susceptible to wrinkles, almost everybody expects to experience wrinkles in their later life – some more serious than others. Wrinkles are most likely to occur where the skin is thinner and more delicate, this is why they are often found on the face and neck.
The movement of facial muscles can accelerate the formation of wrinkles – this includes laughing, squinting, and frowning. Folds and lines can begin to appear in areas where the facial muscles have caused years of contractions. Environmental factors can also play a big part in the likelihood of developing more severe wrinkles. Sun exposure, pollution, and smoking can all contribute to wrinkling being more severe.
These inevitable lines and folds of the skin tell tales of ageing and can add years to your appearance, that is where we can help.

Wrinkle Causes & Risk Factors
Why Do We Get Wrinkles?
As we age our skin becomes more susceptible to wrinkles, but why is this? Our skin uses collagen and elastin to maintain its firm and elastic properties. The levels of these vital components begin to drop as we get older leaving the skin looser and more fragile. This, combined with years of facial muscle contractions and other environmental factors such as smoking, pollution, and stress can all contribute to more severe wrinkling.
How Can I Prevent Wrinkles?
Some wrinkles are inevitable, but there are some things we can do to reduce the severity of wrinkling and slow the ageing process down. Here are some things to try:
• Avoid smoking
• Avoid high levels of pollution
• Avoid high amounts of stress
• Wear sun cream and avoid excess sun exposure
• Use skincare products rich in Vitamin A & Peptides
• Invest in skincare treatment that promotes elastin and collagen production
