Lines and wrinkles form anywhere on our bodies from repetitive movements, or age and gravity. Patients are primarily concerned with treating the forehead, worry, laugh, lip, eye and jowl lines.
What is it?
Lines and wrinkles are often a result of various factors, the most usual of which include:
Aging and Gravity:
As our skin matures, it naturally loses collagen and elastin, which results in decreased skin elasticity and the development of lines and wrinkles.
Facial Movements:
Continuous facial gestures like smiling, frowning and squinting often lead to the formation of wrinkles.
Sun Exposure:
Extended exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can speed up the ageing process, leading to the early appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Beavercreek Dermatology strongly emphasizes the importance of incorporating sunscreen into your daily skin care routine!
Fat Loss:
As we grow older, we naturally lose facial volume which can result in sagging skin and the development of wrinkles. Weight loss can also contribute, as the skin may not regain its shape as quickly as the fat diminishes.
How is it treated?
While wrinkles are an inevitable part of the aging process, if they're causing you concern, our board-certified providers at Beavercreek Dermatology provide various effective treatments to reduce wrinkles and lessen their appearance. Treatment options range from topical creams, laser therapy and injectables.
