What exactly causes deep wrinkles and lines?
Over the years we use our facial muscles repeatedly as we show facial expressions. The term “dynamic wrinkles” comes from this definition of showing expressions repeatedly for years and years…thus the grooves appear from repeated muscle contractions. Smiling, frowning, laughing, squinting, crying –all these habitual emotional expressions cause wrinkles, grooves and lines over time as the muscles repeatedly contract. Genetics and family history as well as lifestyle habits such as smoking and sun bathing also contribute to this normal age related process.
