Fine Lines and Wrinkles

in Vienna, VA

What Are Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

Fine lines and wrinkles are visible creases on the skin caused by aging, repetitive facial movements, and environmental factors. Fine lines often develop first as shallow indentations, while wrinkles appear deeper over time. These signs of aging commonly affect areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, and near the mouth. Advanced aesthetic treatments can smooth these imperfections, restoring a youthful and refreshed appearance.

What Are the Causes of Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

Aging
Natural loss of collagen and elastin makes the skin thinner and less resilient.
Expressions like smiling and frowning create dynamic wrinkles over time.
UV rays break down collagen, accelerating the formation of lines and wrinkles.
Lack of hydration makes the skin appear dry and accentuates lines.
Smoking, stress, and poor skincare habits contribute to premature aging.
