Fine lines & wrinkles

What’s the difference between them?

While both fine lines and wrinkles are signs of ageing, fine lines are smaller, shallower, and usually by external factors, while wrinkles are deeper and result from a combination of ageing and environmental influences.

Fine Lines

  • These are small, shallow lines that typically appear on the skin’s surface.
  • They are often the result of dehydration, sun damage, or repetitive facial expressions.
  • Fine lines are more common in areas with thinner skin, such as around the eyes and mouth
  • These lines are usually less noticeable and can be targeted with preventive skin care measures and treatments

Wrinkles

  • These are deeper, more pronounced creases or folds in the skin.
  • They develop as part of the natural ageing process due to decreased collagen and elastin production.
  • Wrinkles are often seen on areas of the skin that are more prone to sun exposure, such as the face, neck, and hands.
