What are wrinkles?

Wrinkles are creases or folds in your skin that appear over time. You get them all over your body eventually, but many people are most bothered by the wrinkles on their faces. 

Since wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, there’s no way to get rid of them completely and for good. However, you have options to minimize your wrinkles for months or even years.

At CynSational Aesthetics, Ms. Sanchez helps you explore the available treatments for wrinkles and fine lines. She can make recommendations or help you compare multiple types, and she makes sure the treatments you’re interested in are safe for you. 

Ms. Sanchez also gives you advice on ways you may be able to extend the results of these treatments or avoid getting wrinkles in the first place, like drinking plenty of water or protecting your skin with sunblock. 

Why do I have wrinkles?

Wrinkles come as the result of not one but several different factors and processes. Although everyone gets them with age, some people develop them earlier because of genetics or their behaviors and habits. 

You have wrinkles because of a combination of:

Aging skin

As you get older, so does your skin and the underlying tissues that support it. Your skin produces less collagen and elastin over time, which causes a decline in firmness and elasticity. 

Smoking

Smoking accelerates your skin’s aging process because of nicotine and other harmful chemicals present in cigarettes. 

Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure

UV light comes from the sun and prematurely ages your skin by affecting its DNA. You can also accumulate UV damage from tanning beds and other artificial sources. 

Facial expressions

When you make facial expressions, your skin creases in specific areas. Over time, and with many, many facial expressions, the lines deepen and soon become permanent features on your face.
