Wrinkles

Wrinkles are fine lines that gradually deepen into more persistent creases due to repetitive facial expressions, dehydration, genetics, and decreased collagen and elastin production. If you're concerned about wrinkles, trust your skin to the experts at DERM Lab in North Vancouver.

What are Wrinkles?

There are two types of wrinkles, or rhytids: dynamic and static. Dynamic wrinkles are the ones you can only see when you activate your muscles of facial expression, while static wrinkles are present at rest. As you may have guessed, over time, dynamic wrinkles become static wrinkles as they become deeper and more “set in”. Facial expressions, sun exposure, skin care, genetics, and declining collagen and elastin levels all play a role.

You may not be bothered by the lines themselves, but sometimes by the expressions they suggest glabellar lines can suggest frustration or anger; lines around the eyes may suggest fatigue, while others may be seen as “laugh lines” and not undesirable. It is not uncommon for cosmetic patients to ask about reducing the appearance of a particular emotion like “sadness”, “tiredness” or “anger” that they perceive on their face but do not feel in themselves; this mismatch can be a source of concern.
