What Is It And Why Does It Occur?

Fine lines and wrinkles are small folds or creases that appear on the skin as collagen and elastin fibers weaken over time. They are often the earliest visible signs of aging, caused by a combination of natural aging, repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, and environmental stressors. As the skin’s foundation thins and its ability to retain moisture decreases, lines begin to deepen, most commonly around the eyes, forehead, and mouth.

What Patients Typically Notice

Many patients describe noticing their skin looking “tired,” “creased,” or “less smooth” than before. They may see fine lines appear when smiling or frowning that no longer fade afterward. Some express frustration that makeup settles into lines or that their reflection feels older than how they feel inside. For others, it’s a sense that their skin has lost its youthful resilience and radiance.
