Lines & Wrinkles - EC Clinic London

Lines and Wrinkles

In general, fine lines and wrinkles are usually one of the very first signs of ageing. As skin starts to age, fine lines may start to develop around the eye and other areas on the face. These shallow lines attempt to appear along expression lines that develop when you smile or laugh. During the time when fine lines are superficial and closer to the skin’s surface, wrinkles are in a deeper layer. As you age, your skin begins to lose elasticity and firmness, it is possible for many fine lines to become wrinkles in this stage.

Causes

The slow production of skin cells causes skin thinning and not enough proteins, which leads to the develop of wrinkes on your skin. This is because the collagen protein gives your skin strcture, provides strechiness or elasticity so skin can move easily. Therefore lack of collagen makes it more difficult for your skin to snap back, which causes wrinkles.

Some wrinkles and lines develop due to the small muscle contractions, for example the habitual facial expressions. They made the wrinkles to be more obvious. By the time pass, these expressions and gravity becomes the reason of the development of wrinkles and fine lines. What’s more, if makeup are not removed properly, it can clog your pores, which limited your body’s function of producing collagen protenis and therefore develop wrinkles.

Additionally, environmental factors (i.e. particulate matter, soot, and nitrogen dioxide), excessive exposure to UV radiation from the sun and smoking tabacco products can also cause your skin to premature aging.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! EC is absolutely amazing. I’ve been coming for 2 years now so this review is long overdue. I started coming here for laser treatments for my sunspots (being a longtime surfer), and the treatments shown AMAZING results. I then bought a package because I keep coming back for routine facials just to keep my skin looking perfect and flawless.
