Facial wrinkles are one of the first and most noticable signs of aging besides greying hair. And while grey hair can easily be disguised with hair-dye products easily available in the market, getting rid of wrinkles is a far more difficult task. Nevertheless this problem remains a great concern to many people because it involves their self-esteem and confidence, especially to women who might feel that life have past them by and they are not young and attractive anymore. To some, this can also lead to severe depression.

The area of the face that are particularly prone to wrinkles are the forehead, around the eyes, around the mouth and surrounding the nose. One of the most profound causes of wrinkles is genetics. This is the reason why some people are more prone to wrinkles than others. Another factor that contributes to wrinkles is lifestyle. Prolonged exposure to the sun without proper protection has damaging effects to the skin which will show up later in life when the properties of the skin begin to weaken. Two huge lifestyle choices that contribute greatly to skin damage are alcohol and smoking. Continued consumption of alcohol is very drying to the skin and will lead to wrinkles very early in life. And cigarette smoking places strain in the muscles and skin surrounding the mouth area.

There are three layers in the skin. The deepest layer is known as the hypodermis. This layer is primarily made up of fat which helps keep the skin looking plump and attractive. Right above it dwells the dermis. This one is where the collagen and other fibers are kept that produces the skin’s elasticity and strength. The topmost layer is called the epidermis. This layer is important, as it is responsible for regenerating the cells of the visible part of your skin. With age the epidermis can no longer produce new, healthy cells like it once did, and the dermis’ elastic fibers and collagen begins to break down. The skin also loses its ability to repair itself and becomes drier and stiffer. The result is wrinkles and sagging of the facial skin.

Just as there are three layers in the skin, there are basically three types of wrinkles. The troublesome fine lines on the epidermis are the most common kind of wrinkle. The lines that appear to be a little deeper extend into the dermis. They are harder to treat and are definitely more difficult to disguise. The really deep wrinkles, sometimes called folds or furrows, affect the skin to its deepest level.

There are many skin treatment creams in the market that claim to be able to eliminate wrinkles.  Dermology uses a three-part skincare system that systematically attacks problem areas where signs of aging most often develop to form a complete anti-aging system that keeps your skin looking great.
