Wrinkles: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments - S4 E18

Wrinkles are more than just a cosmetic concern — they reflect the gradual loss of collagen and elastin, the impact of sun exposure, and lifestyle factors like smoking, stress, diet and sleep that accelerate skin aging. In this episode, we break down how fine lines, deep creases, sagging skin and loss of skin elasticity develop over time, where they most commonly appear, and why factors like repeated facial expressions, dehydration or UV damage can worsen them. We also explain scientifically-backed strategies to slow down and minimize wrinkles — from daily SPF use and moisturizers to topical retinoids, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and lifestyle shifts like diet, hydration and quitting smoking.We dig into evidence-based prevention and treatment options — including the role of retinoids, peptides, antioxidant vitamins, proper hydration, balanced nutrition, and even cosmetic procedures — to help you better understand how to protect skin health and age gracefully.
