What exactly are wrinkles?

Wrinkles are folds or creases in the skin that occur with age or loss of body mass, as a result of exposure to sunshine, dehydration, and so on. The extracellular fibers in the dermal layer of the skin are damaged by repetitive skin expansions and compressions.

While our body repairs these injuries, some of the broken fibers are not regenerated. They are instead replaced by long collagen fibers. When these long fibers collect, the skin becomes inelastic and loose, resulting in a large fold on the skin. Wrinkles may be both transient and permanent. However, in the case of permanent wrinkles, when the long collagen breaks in a compressed condition, it is replaced by short collagen fibers. These small fibers inhibit the extension of long fibers, causing the long fibers to remain permanently folded. Wrinkles are a major cause of aging.
