Five things to know about wrinkles
1. Five Things to Know about
Wrinkles
Causes of Wrinkles and the Different
Treatments for Them
2. Lauren Amico, PA-C, MMS
• Although everyone
associates wrinkles with
aging, that’s not
necessarily their
primary cause. Knowing
more about why
wrinkles form can help
you reduce the
incidence and lessen
the appearance of
wrinkles. Board Certified Aesthetic
Physician Assistant
3. 1. Two Types of Wrinkles
Furrowed Brow
• There are two types of wrinkles
caused by different factors.
Dynamic or active wrinkles are
those that are created from
muscular movements, such as
frowning or furrowing the brow.
Static wrinkles are seen when the
face is at rest and are caused by
aging, environmental
exposure, or lifestyle factors;
dynamic wrinkles become static
wrinkles over time. These
wrinkles form when collagen is
lost and the skin’s elastin
structure is compromised.
4. 2. Sun damage
• Sun damage is the main
catalyst for premature
aging of the skin and is an
easily preventable cause
of wrinkles. Sun damage
can be avoided simply by
using an effective
sunscreen with an SPF of
15 or higher. Sun damage
also causes changes in
the pigmentation of the
skin and can lead to skin
cancer.
5. 3. Smoking
• Smoking is another cause of
wrinkles and skin damage.
Nicotine deprives the dermis of
oxygen, causing it to deteriorate.
Cigarettes contain thousands of
chemicals that also damage
elastin and collagen, the proteins
that make the skin elastic and
strong. The act of smoking also
creates dynamic wrinkles.
Quitting smoking will prevent
further damage, and topical skin
products containing
antioxidants, retinol, or vitamin C
and E can help repair the skin.
6. 4. Poor Diet
• Poor diet is another factor
that contributes to
the appearance of wrinkles.
Excessive sugar contributes
to glycation, a process that
causes protein fibers
(including collagen and
elastin) to become stiff. This
contributes to wrinkle
formation. Avoiding sugary
foods and adding foods high
in vitamin C, vitamin E, and
antioxidants will improve
skin texture.
7. 5. Stress
• Stress is another
contributing factor in the
formation of wrinkles.
Prolonged stress can lead to
dynamic wrinkles formed by
repeated facial expressions
such as
scowling, frowning, or
grimacing. These wrinkles
can transform into static
wrinkles through repetition.
Stress reduction techniques
can help prevent this
transformation.
