Lines and Wrinkles

Lines and wrinkles form anywhere on our bodies from repetitive movements, or age and gravity.

What is it?

The development of lines and wrinkles is influenced by multiple factors, the most prevalent being:


  • Aging Skin - As we age, the skin gradually loses collagen and elastin—two key components that keep it firm and resilient. This leads to reduced flexibility and the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Facial Expressions - Frequent facial movements such as smiling, squinting, and frowning can contribute to the formation of dynamic wrinkles over time. 
  • Sun Exposure - Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays accelerates skin aging and can cause premature wrinkles. That’s why we strongly encourage incorporating sunscreen into your daily skincare regimen. 
  • Volume Loss - Natural aging and even rapid weight loss can result in a reduction of facial volume. This can lead to sagging skin and the appearance of deeper creases, especially if the skin doesn’t bounce back as quickly. 

Ready to smooth away unwanted lines and wrinkles? Charlotte Dermatology offers advanced, personalized treatments designed to refresh your appearance. Schedule your consultation today at one of our convenient locations across the Charlotte area—including Charlotte, Matthews, Waverly, and Cornelius—or visit us in Myrtle Beach, SC.
