Causes of Deep Folds
Deep wrinkles appear due to several reasons starting from genetics to environmental and lifestyle factors. Here's a look at the common causes behind the appearance of different deep wrinkles:
- Aging - With age, skin loses its collagen and elastin, the skin becomes less taut and develops lines from the mouth, mild to deep. It breaks down your skin's fibers and hastens wrinkles and makes the fine lines appear much deeper with sun damage.
- Facial expressions - Imitating repeated facial muscle movements, such as smiling or frowning, can result in both fine and deep lines over time.
- Genetics - The way your skin is naturally built and how your face gets older are affected by genetics. This influences the type of nasolabial folds you might develop.
- Lifestyle Factors - Lifestyle habits such as smoking and junk-eating can also affect the elasticity of your skin, resulting in deep fold lines that appear to be much deeper earlier on.
