Wrinkles are pleats or folds in the skin. In aging skin, they occur because of the diminished elasticity and generalized loss of dermal thickness that accompanies aging.

Even though the skin wrinkles as a sign of aging, we can\’t blame time for every new wrinkle that appears on our skin. Some wrinkles are created by mechanical movements that we reproduce on a regular basis such as laughing, sleeping, or squinting. This repetition creates hairline depressions that appear around the corners of the eyes, mouth, and forehead. The new wrinkle formation can be linked to the skin\’s loss of elasticity.

Wrinkles are also caused by overexposure to UV rays, both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are responsible for tanning, wrinkling, and melanoma while UV rays can harm skin by increasing the synthesis of proteolytic enzymes that break down collagen, the connective tissues located beneath the dermis.

There are three types of wrinkles:

Crinkles are the very fine wrinkles that occur in aging skin and show everywhere, not just in places that have been exposed to solar rays. Elastic fibers in your skin begin to deteriorate around the age of 30, although you may not notice it until sometime later. This type of wrinkling occurs even without sun exposure, however it be heightened by it.

Glyphic wrinkles are wrinkles that we all normally have, but which have become exacerbated with aging. If you have taken to using turtlenecks or scarves to cover lines that have appeared on your neck, you know what a glyphic wrinkle is. These wrinkles tend to become more pronounced with muscle contraction or with facial expressions.

Furrows are deep wrinkles that begin to form on the faces of aging people. These wrinkles are mainly straight lines that appear on the forehead, corners of the mouth and eyes. They are so common that they\’ve been christened crow\’s feet or laugh lines. Repeated movement and UV exposure accentuates their spread. It is hard to get rid of these kinds of wrinkles when they emerge between muscle groups. Furrows that surface around mouth and eyes remain visibly evident even when you aren\’t smiling or squinting. They may not be eradicated, but can be reduced in appearance.

If we were to create a special type of wrinkle filler or view aging as an illness, then wrinkles could be viewed as small, improperly healed injuries. Undoubtedly wrinkles are characterized by flawed accumulation of collagen and imperfect skin cell ordering, which is also seen in healed injuries, although on a much larger scale. If so, could the agents that control the process of injury healing (by minimizing scar formation and improving skin remodeling) have a potential to avoid or even minimize wrinkles? Well, maybe. A good example of a wound-healing element that seems to also have anti-wrinkle potential is the type of compounds called copper peptides, small proteins that minimize scar formation.

The biological components contained in our new skin care product guarantees the healing of scars, imperfections and a wide range of skin ailments, without producing allergic responses.
