Where Do Wrinkles Come From?

One day you looked in the mirror and studied those lines that furrowed your brow, and you wondered: Where did those wrinkles come from?

Is it just aging? Too much sun? Too much stress? In general, how skin ages and wrinkles is a complex process. It isn't just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, hormone loss, damage caused by free radicals, and so on; wrinkles are a combination of many factors.

The Anatomy of the Wrinkle

The eyebrow wrinkles, or lines that appear between your brows, are actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. You may have heard the expression "wearing your emotions on your sleeve," but in reality you wear them on your face, and unfortunately they can lead to wrinkles. If you're angry or annoyed, for example, you knit your brows together. Underneath your skin, your facial muscles contract, cause a pleating of the overlying skin which can turn into a wrinkle over time.

After years of wrinkling and wrinkling, those eyebrow lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced. For women, whose faces tend to be more animated than men's, and whose skin is typically more delicate, these winkle lines may appear exaggerated and more permanent. Before you know it the wrinkle is there. Although the wrinkle will be shallow at first it will most likely evolve into a deeper wrinkled wrinkle.

Fortunately, there is a way to temporarily reduce moderate to severe wrinkles. Treatment with BOTOX® Cosmetic can visibly smooth wrinkles and soften moderate to severe facial wrinkles. An improvement can be seen within days and may last up to 4 months, although results may vary. In clinical trials, nearly 90% of men and women surveyed rated the improvement in the appearance of frown lines between their brows as moderate to better 1 month after treatment.
