The muscles contract when the face moves, causing a groove to form in the underlying tissues, which the skin settles into. Youthful skin that bounces back, returns to its original state and the wrinkle will disappear.

However, more mature skin finds this difficult, especially as these movements have been repeated many times and the furrow in the skin will eventually become permanent. A regular skincare routine that involves cleansing, exfoliating and moisturising can help to keep the skin in healthy condition and may help to slow down the rate at which ageing progresses.

Wearing sunscreen everyday, even during the colder, cloudier months, protects against the sun’s UV rays – a contributor to premature ageing, along with smoking a poor diet, alcohol consumption and lack of hydration. Lines and wrinkles will usually affect everyone at some point during adulthood, so at Nassif MedSpa we can apply dermal fillers and / or toxin injectables to restore your youthful and radiant glow.
