Lines and wrinkles form anywhere on our bodies from repetitive movements, or age and gravity. Patients are primarily concerned with treating the forehead, worry, laugh, lip, eye and jowl lines.
Various factors contribute to the
formation of lines and wrinkles, with the most prevalent being age and gravity, facial expressions, sun exposure and loss of fat. More specifically:
Age and Gravity: As
the skin matures, it naturally depletes in collagen and elastin, resulting
in a decrease in skin elasticity and the emergence of lines and wrinkles.
Facial Expressions: Wrinkles
are often the result of repeated facial actions such as smiling, frowning,
and squinting.
Sun Exposure: Extended
exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can speed up the skin aging
process, leading to premature wrinkles and fine lines. Our medical
practice cannot emphasize enough the importance of incorporating sunscreen
into your daily skincare routine.
Loss of Fat: With
age, we naturally lose facial volume, which can cause skin sagging and the
creation of wrinkles. Weight loss can also contribute, as the skin may not
recover as swiftly when fat is lost.
Lines and wrinkles can appear
anywhere on our bodies, but most of our patients are primarily concerned with
treating forehead, worry, laugh, lip and jowl lines. Our
dermatology clinic also offers treatment for lines and wrinkles on the neck and
decolletage, catering to patients in Dublin, Columbus, Canal Winchester,
Urbana, Circleville, Washington Courthouse, Grove City and Marysville, Ohio.
