What to know about wrinkles
Wrinkles are creases, folds, or ridges in the skin. They naturally appear as people get older and their skin becomes less elastic. Avoiding sun exposure can prevent wrinkles. Some treatments may also help reduce their appearance.
The first wrinkles tend to appear on a person’s face in areas where the skin naturally folds during facial expressions. They develop due to the skin becoming thinner and less elastic over time.
Wrinkles also tend to appear on parts of the body that receive most sun exposure, such as the face and neck, back of the hands, and arms.
Wrinkles are a natural part of growing older, and they affect everyone. However, many people dislike the appearance of wrinkles, and, as a result, the anti-aging market in the United States is worth over 50 billion dollars per year.
