What causes fine lines and wrinkles?

Wrinkles are lines and creases that form as a natural part of aging. They appear most on skin that gets a lot of sun, such as the face, neck, hands and forearms.

Common causes

• Age: skin becomes drier and less elastic, and loses fat and collagen.
• Sun exposure: UV light breaks down collagen and elastin, the fibres that keep skin firm.
• Smoking, pollution and genetics.
• Repeated facial expressions over many years.

How we can help at DermaZone

Good to know

• Results build over time. Light peels may take 3 to 5 sessions, and the full effect of microneedling can take several months.
• Every skin is different. On darker skin tones some treatments carry a higher risk of pigment changes, so your treatment is chosen for your skin at your consultation.
• Protect your results with a daily SPF 30+ sunscreen and protective clothing. Not smoking, eating fruits and vegetables and moisturizing also help.
