What causes the wrinkle?
Aging
As we age, the skin's production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining skin elasticity, decreases, leading to the development of lines and wrinkles.
Sun Exposure
Prolonged exposure to UV rays from the sun damages the skin and accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, resulting in premature aging signs.
Smoking
Smoking can contribute to the formation of wrinkles, as it narrows blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, reducing blood flow and essential nutrients
Facial Expression
Repeated facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, and squinting, can cause dynamic wrinkles that become more prominent with time.
