What Causes Fine Lines & Wrinkles?

Ageing
Loss of collagen, elastin, and hydration leads to sagging and wrinkles.
Sun Damage (UV Exposure)
Breaks down collagen fibres, causing pigmentation, rough skin texture, and fine lines.
Repetitive Facial Movements
Frowning, squinting, and smiling cause expression lines that deepen over time.
Lifestyle Factors
Smoking, vaping, stress, poor diet, and dehydration accelerate ageing.
Genetics & Epigenetics
A family history of premature wrinkles increases susceptibility.
Environmental Damage
Pollution and free radicals cause oxidative stress, damaging the skin barrier.
How to Slow Down Ageing & Reduce Wrinkles
Combining advanced dermatology treatments with medical-grade skincare is the most effective way to prevent, correct, and maintain youthful skin.

Types of Wrinkles
- Dynamic Wrinkles: Appear with facial expressions (e.g., frown lines, crow’s feet).

- Fine Lines: Early signs of ageing, sun damage, dehydration, or skin irritation.
- Deep Wrinkles: Pronounced creases due to severe volume loss and structural weakening of the skin.
