Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Fine lines are often the earliest signs of aging and typically appear due to skin elasticity and collagen loss. If not addressed through skincare or treatments, these lines may become more pronounced as your skin loses firmness and hydration, eventually evolving into wrinkles.

Facial aging tends to accelerate in your 40s and 50s, although changes can start earlier depending on genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors.

Face shapes with less fat, such as rectangular, square, or heart-shaped faces, tend to show signs of aging faster than round or oval shapes. Thinner faces may lose volume and experience more noticeable skin sagging and wrinkle formation as fat diminishes with age.

Skinny faces can appear older because they tend to lose facial fat more quickly, contributing to a hollow or sunken look. Full faces generally retain youthful plumpness longer, but excess fat may also sag, creating an aged look.

If your family tends to have smooth, youthful skin as they age, you may be genetically predisposed to aging more gracefully. Lifestyle habits like regular exercise, a balanced diet, and sun protection can also improve aging.

The best procedure for fine lines and wrinkles depends on their severity and your skin type. Non-invasive treatments like Botox or dermal fillers effectively reduce fine lines and smooth wrinkles. A facelift might be considered for deeper wrinkles.

Sun exposure is the leading cause of premature aging. Other factors that accelerate aging include smoking, a poor diet, lack of sleep, chronic stress, and dehydration.
