4 Different Types of Wrinkles and What Causes Them
1. Gravitational Folds
These are wrinkles that naturally occur with age, as our skin loses its structure and begins to fold and sag.
What Causes Them
As we get older, our skin starts to lose collagen and elastin leading to wrinkling and sagging.
2. Dynamic Expression Lines
These laugh lines are the ones from repeated facial muscle movements that cause creases in the skin that become more permanent.
3. Atrophic Crinkling Rhytids
These wrinkles are those little parallel lines that disappear when your skin is stretched taut.
They can occur on your face, or anywhere.
What Causes Them
1. Loss of collagen
2. Elasticity which leads to skin sagging.
3. Sun damage
4. Permanent Elastic Creases
These are crease lines that end up becoming permanent wrinkles as we age.
Normally show up on our cheeks, upper lip, and the base of our necks.
