The appearance of fine lines is a normal part of aging. However, some people find that these lines can impact their self-confidence or create a sense of disconnection with the vitality they feel on the inside. If you're concerned about fine lines, trust your skin to the experts at DERM Lab in North Vancouver.
Fine lines and wrinkles, also known as expression lines or rhytids, are a natural part of the aging process and develop due to various factors, including sun exposure, repetitive facial expressions, dehydration, genetics, and decreased collagen and elastin production.  Â
Each time you make a facial expression, such as smiling or squinting, your facial muscles contract, causing temporary creases in the skin. Over time, these temporary creases can become more pronounced and develop into fine lines, especially as collagen production declines with age. Fine lines can transition from dynamic to static rhytids, becoming more persistent and visible even at rest.Â
Various treatments are available to address fine lines, diminish their appearance, and prevent further progression over time.
Neuromodulator injections such as Botox can relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, reducing their appearance and preventing deepening. Learn more.
