Deep Folds

Deep folds often appear on the neck and facial area. Deep folds cause tissues on the face to sag. Mostly, deep folds are seen in the lower face area.

What causes deep folds?

The main reason that deep folds appear on the skin is ‘excess of skin tissues’. When skin tissues are produced in abundance, it causes the skin to sag and they appear like folds. Moreover, the deep folds of the skin may also be the result of excessive fat in your body.

Deep folds: who are at the risk?

There are factors that might put someone at the risk of deep folds on the facial and neck skin. Those are:

• Skin tissues: Someone who skin tissues production rate is high, is at the risk of developing deep skin folds.
• Fat: A person with more fat in the body is often at the risk of deep folds on the skin.
• Genetic: It has been observed that having a family member with the same issue increases the chances of getting affected by deep skin folds.
• Age: Age is also an evident factor in the appearance of deep folds on the skin. As we age, our facial muscles get weaker. Weaker facial muscle cannot remain tight and they fall loose causing the skin to appear folded.

Signs of deep folds:

Generally, it has been found that deep folds look like lines in the beginning. Lines on the facial and neck skin can be taken as a sign of coming deep folds.

Prevention of deep folds:

Though time is something we cannot control; people age with time. Still, there are some precautions that you can think to prevent the deep folds on your skin. What are those?

• Keep your skin moisturized. Moisturized skin does not easily crack or gets affected by problems.
• Do some facial exercises. You can consult with our dermatologists about the exercises that can prevent deep folds from appearing.
