Fine Lines:
What are Fine lines?
Fine lines and wrinkles arise because of irregular thickening of the skin (dermis) and because of a decrease in the amount of water held underneath the skin (the epidermis). This is mainly caused by sun damage and exposure to environmental toxins. Deeper lines or ‘furrows’ are classified as dynamic or static. Dynamic lines appear with movement i.e. the activity of facial muscles. Static lines are unchanged with muscle movement. Eventually dynamic lines become static.
Fine lines and wrinkles form for many reasons including;
- Ageing processes
- Sun damage
- Muscle movement
- Gravity
- Injury
- Surgery
- Acne
- Other skin diseases with a tendency to scar (e.g. discoid lupus)
- Smoking
In particular common fine lines and wrinkles experienced by most include;
- Crows feet: Appear around the eyes – due to smiling and activity of the eyelid muscles
- Worry lines: Appear on the forehead – due to contractions of the frontalis muscle when raising the eyebrows
- Frown lines: Appear between the eyebrows – due to contractions of the corrugator supercilii muscles and procerus muscles when concentrating or angry
Fine lines may appear asymmetrically as people do tend to smile or frown more on one side than the other and/or even sleep more often on the right or left cheek.
