Why Wrinkles Form: Understanding Skin, Muscles, and Aging
Wrinkles are caused by a combination of factors, including repetitive muscle movements, thinning skin, and the natural loss of volume over time. With age, your skin gradually loses collagen and elasticity, becoming thinner and less able to bounce back after repetitive facial movements like smiling or frowning. These muscle contractions, combined with the skin’s reduced ability to recover, lead to the formation of expression lines and deeper creases.
As natural volume diminishes and skin becomes less firm, wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, and mouth often deepen, creating an aged or tired appearance.
To effectively reduce wrinkles and restore a refreshed look, it’s essential to address each of these factors:
- Muscle Movement: By relaxing the muscles that cause expression lines, we can prevent new wrinkles from forming and soften existing lines.
- Skin Texture and Tone: Enhancing skin quality by promoting collagen and cell turnover helps smooth and brighten the surface, giving it a firmer, more resilient appearance.
- Volume Restoration: Adding volume back to areas where it has been lost helps lift and smooth deep wrinkles and hollow areas, restoring youthful contours.
At Gentle Revive, we address these causes with a range of treatments tailored to your unique skin and goals.
