Gravity wrinkles

Gravity wrinkles are caused by the progressive loss of skin firmness and elasticity, as well as the effects of gravity. As we age, the amount of collagen i elastins, and the skin gradually loses its supportive properties. As a result, the tissues become more prone to sagging, which can lead to the deepening of characteristic furrows and creases.

These changes are most commonly visible in the lower part of the face. Gravity wrinkles may include, amongst other things,. deep nasolabial folds, puppet stringsand changes within the facial contour. Their severity depends not only on age, but also on individual predisposition, skin condition and natural ageing processes.

Various aesthetic medicine techniques are used to reduce the appearance of gravitational wrinkles, selected according to the type and severity of the changes. One option is 4D endolifting, which uses laser energy to exert a controlled effect on tissues and can help to promote tissue remodelling and improve skin firmness.
