Wrinkles are folds or creases that appears on the skin as we age. As we age, the collagen and elastin fibres that form the connective tissue under the skin break down. The skin loses its support and becomes weaker and less flexible which leads to the formation of wrinkles. There are two main types of wrinkles which are:
Dynamic wrinkles: It occurs when the muscle is used to form facial expressions and disappears when the muscle is relaxed as the skin springs back to its original position. Static wrinkles: These lines stay persistently on the face even when the face is relaxed as the skin loses the ability to spring back in aging skin.
