    GlossaryWrinkles (Facial Lines)

    lines or creases on the skin from aging and external factors

    Wrinkles, also known as rhytides, are lines or creases that form on the skin due to a combination of intrinsic aging processes and external factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and repetitive facial expressions. They occur as the skin loses its elasticity and collagen, leading to a thinner and less resilient dermal layer.
