Fine lines and wrinkles occur as skin collagen and elastin break down over time from aging, daily wear and tear from pulling on the facial structure by facial muscles, sun exposure, environmental factors, and skin damage. Fine lines appear first, usually around areas of high use like the mouth and eyes. With time these fine lines evolve into deeper creases called wrinkles.

Wrinkles are caused by a combination of factors such as Age-As you get older, your skin naturally becomes less elastic and more fragile. Decreased production of natural oils dries your skin and makes it appear more wrinkled.Fat in the deeper layers of your skin diminishes. This causes loose, saggy skin and more-pronounced lines and crevices. Damage to ultraviolet light-which speeds the natural aging process, is the primary cause of early wrinkling. Exposure to UV light breaks down your skin’s connective tissue — collagen and elastin fibers, which lie in the deeper layer of skin (dermis).Without the supportive connective tissue, your skin loses strength and flexibility. Skin then begins to sag and wrinkle prematurely.Repeated facial expressions. Facial movements and expressions, such as squinting or smiling, lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Each time you use a facial muscle, a groove forms beneath the surface of the skin. these grooves then become permanent features on your face.

While we may not be able to fully erase the signs of aging, we are are often able to significantly improve the overall appearance of the skin by using one or a combination of treatments to your individual needs. Amazing results are often achieved with maintanence and consistency.
