How did I get wrinkles?

Many factors contribute to the formation of wrinkles on your skin. As you age, your skin produces less collagen and elastin to keep it tight and smooth. This causes your skin to loosen and fold into large, soft wrinkles. 

Your muscle movements also determine the kinds of wrinkles that you’ll form. For example, crow’s feet form on the outer sides of your eyes if you squint when you smile (assuming you smile a lot). 

Sun exposure makes your wrinkles more plentiful and apparent. Odds are that you have more wrinkles on the areas of your skin that see the most sun.

What are some common areas for wrinkles?

Wrinkles can appear on any part of your body, especially the parts that have gravity working against them. Common areas of intense wrinkles include:

• Your neck
• Around your mouth
• Next to your eyes
• Your forehead
• Your upper arms
• Your abdomen

Facial wrinkles typically bother clients the most because they alter your appearance on the part of your body that’s most visible to the world. Your provider can help you understand more about why you’ve formed more wrinkles in certain places than others.

How can I prevent more wrinkles?

There’s nothing you can do to stop the progression of aging, but there are a few lifestyle adjustments you can make to form fewer wrinkles and, in turn, maintain a younger look. To prevent wrinkles or make them less apparent, you can:

• Protect your skin from the sun
• Avoid tanning beds and other UV light sources
• Stop smoking
• Don’t drink too much alcohol
• Stay hydrated with plenty of water
• Moisturize your skin

Some uncontrollable factors also contribute to wrinkles. Your family genetics and your skin’s color are predictors of skin aging that you can’t change.

How can I treat the wrinkles I already have?

To reduce your wrinkles, Aesthetic Specialists of Brevard offers radiofrequency-based treatments with TempSure™ Envi. The energy from the device heats your skin and fools it into thinking you’ve been injured. This stimulates your body’s natural healing response, prompting your skin to produce collagen and elastin to restore structure and hydration.

Ultimately, treatments with TempSure Envi tighten your skin and take years off your appearance. The results are temporary, but you can add TempSure Envi treatments to your recurring beauty routine with maintenance appointments.
