Wrinkled Skin

We all age, and as we age, our skin becomes wrinkled. It is a truth that we cannot deny. However, in the modern age of medical science, it is possible to mitigate the effect of agieng with laser wrinkle treatment and other methods.

Wrinkled skin refers to a condition in which creases, folds or ridges appear on the skin. Wrinkles can appear almost anywhere. However, mostly they appear on the face, hands, neck, and the areas that bear most sun exposure.

This problem, though natural with age growth, can affect people because of other causes as well. Read the causes of wrinkled skin below.

What causes wrinkled skin?

• Facial expressions: Though not believed by everyone, some experts have this opinion. People who display more facial expression have the chances to develop wrinkles quickly than the people who do not. It is because every time we smile or frown or display any facial expression, a groove is formed under the skin. While young, the skin springs back to its original position easily. As we age, this process becomes difficult and causes wrinkles on our face.
