OVERVIEW

Facial wrinkles are usually the result of sun damage, smoking, dehydration, or a combination of all three. They can also be caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as squinting or frowning.

There are many different types of facial wrinkles, and each one has a different cause. Some wrinkles are caused by muscle movement, others by sun damage, and still others by a loss of collagen and elastin.

While wrinkles are a natural part of aging, that doesn’t mean we have to accept them without a fight! There are a number of treatments and lifestyle changes that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and keep our skin looking young and healthy.
