Wrinkles

Wrinkles Description
As you age, your skin’s collagen and elastin simply break down faster than your body can rebuild them. The slowed remodeling of these skin-tightening proteins causes your skin to thin, droop and lose elasticity—which often leads to winkles, furrows and fine lines.

Wrinkles Education
If you have wrinkles on your face or around your eyes, you’ve probably had a wonderful life rich with laughter and emotional experiences. After all, expressions like smiling, laughing, pondering and squinting naturally involve the contraction of muscles—which can lead to wrinkles, furrows and fine lines. Wrinkles can develop most anywhere, but the skin around your eyes is especially vulnerable because it’s more delicate and tends to age more rapidly than skin on other areas of the body. These wrinkles around the eyes are also called “crow’s feet” or “periorbital wrinkles.” Unfortunately, many of the quick-fix “beauty in a bottle” products and other treatments are a vortex of empty promises: You get caught in an endless, expensive, risky and sometimes painful search for something that works. You may have experimented with acid peels, injectable fillers, collagen, dermabrasion or traditional laser treatment.
