Let's Talk Wrinkles!
Wrinkles are one of the most common signs of aging — but they’re not all the same, and they don’t appear overnight. They develop gradually as the skin changes on a cellular level and as daily expressions start to leave their mark. Understanding what wrinkles are, why they form, and when they typically show up helps make sense of the treatments available and what results to expect.
Facts!
What Wrinkles Are
Wrinkles = creases or folds in the skin caused by a combination of intrinsic aging (natural) and extrinsic factors (environment, lifestyle).
At the cellular level:
Collagen + elastin fibers break down (skin loses strength + snap-back).
Hyaluronic acid production drops (less hydration/plumpness).
Fat pads shift/shrink (face loses volume → sagging).
Repeated muscle contractions (frowning, smiling, squinting) etch lines into the skin.
Why They Form
Intrinsic factors (can’t stop): genetics, natural aging, hormonal changes (esp. drop in estrogen).
Extrinsic factors (controllable): UV/sun damage, smoking, poor diet, dehydration, alcohol, pollution, stress, lack of sleep.
Dynamic → Static:
Early: “Dynamic wrinkles” only show when you move your face.
Later: They become “Static wrinkles” visible even at rest.
When Wrinkles Start to Show (Age Timeline)
Teens–20s:
Skin is thick, collagen-rich.
No true wrinkles — maybe faint lines from expressions but they vanish quickly.
Mid 20s–Early 30s:
First fine lines can appear (usually around eyes from squinting = crow’s feet).
Collagen production already dropping ~1% per year from mid-20s.
30s:
Forehead lines and “11’s” (between brows) begin to etch in dynamic expression.
Nasolabial folds (smile lines) start to deepen slightly.

40s:
Wrinkles become visible at rest (static lines).
Skin thins, less bounce, dryness increases.
Sagging around jawline/eyelids more noticeable.
50s–60s:
Wrinkles deepen and spread (forehead, crow’s feet, marionette lines).
Volume loss in cheeks and temples accelerates.
Skin recovery time is poor — lines don’t bounce back.
70s+:
Generalized laxity, deep folds, thinning.
Wrinkles everywhere (forehead, cheeks, neck).

In short:
Wrinkles = collagen + elastin breakdown + repeated expression + lifestyle damage.
Fine lines can appear late 20s.
More visible wrinkles in 30s–40s.
Deep static wrinkles in 50s+.
