Common Causes of Wrinkles

Wrinkles occur with age because of natural changes to the skin over time. As you age, the support structure of the skin weakens because of a decline in collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA), resulting in the formation of wrinkles.

Collagen is a protein in the body that helps keep the skin smooth and wrinkle-free. The loss of this essential protein occurs gradually over time, but poor lifestyle habits and damage from excess exposure and free radicals also break down collagen. Without collagen, the skin loses elasticity and sags, causing wrinkles and fine lines to develop.

HA is a naturally occurring molecule that boosts hydration and keeps the skin plump and supple. A decline in HA levels dries the skin and increases the chance of wrinkles forming.
