ANATOMY OF THE WRINKLE

The Basics

The lines that appear between your brows (glabellar lines) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time. 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, and then, as anyone can see, you're frowning. After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those glabellar lines start to linger longer and can become more pronounced.

Cause and Repair

With even advancing medicine, there is a possibility for a healthier, longer life span and you want to look the part. A youthful appearance isn't only about the surface of the skin, nor is a well-rounded approach to rejuvenation simplistically skin deep. Time and sun damage take their toll upon each layer of the skin and its supportive tissues. To meet our expectations of ongoing youthfulness, rejuvenation must take into account all of our skin, from the innermost layer to the outmost layer.
