Question 1

do facial exercises cause wrinkles?

Accepted Answer

Not usually: Excess face animation can strengthen muscles and can lead to deeper lines where muscles contract.

Question 2

what could cause wrinkles at a young age?

Accepted Answer

Sun, smoking: Too much sun exposure and smoking can cause accelerated aging. Surfers, skiiers, tennis players, and other professional athletes who are constantly in the sun can develop wrinkles very young. Being very expressive with facial muscles (frowning, smiling) can cause deep wrinkles. Sleeping on your face can cause sleep lines.

Question 3

if i smoked about 30 puffs of a cigarette my whole life am can that actually cause wrinkles? like will i wrinkle from that

Accepted Answer

Cigarettes and aging: No, just a few puffs won't cause accelerated aging and the appearance of wrinkles. Smoking cigarettes also appears to accelerate long term (oxidative) damage to arteries (blood vessels) so it's definitely a good idea to bug your friends and family to quit if at all possible. Try to stay out of too much sun or UV/tanning. Also don't overstretch your skin by supporting your head/face with your hand.

Question 4

does facial waxing cause wrinkles and sagging?

Accepted Answer

No: Smoking and sun tanning do as well as poor nutrition.

Question 5

can use of mobile phones and computers cause wrinkles?

Accepted Answer

There is no links: In the medical literature connecting mobile phone use or computer use to wrinkles. So there is no evidence based findings to support making that connection.

Question 6

does excessively making facial expressions and pulling/rubbing skin cause wrinkles?

Accepted Answer

No: Age, loss of skin elasticity, sun damage, and poor nutrition cause wrinkles.

Question 7

what age do people usually start getting wrinkles ? can execcisve cardio and not eating enough cause wrinkles ?

Accepted Answer

: Wrinkles can occur on the body in different places after the age of 60yrs and can be hereditary , unpredictable and also depend on sun exposure subcutaneous fat etc.. The things you mention are not it's causes.

Question 8

can blepharospasm cause wrinkles?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The contraction of muscles and folding of the skin, along with the aging process of the skin!  so the increasing frequency of the skin does cause wrinkles. I have seen people with hemi-facial spasm(only one side of the face). They have significantly more wrinkles on that side.

Question 9

doctors, will squinting constantly cause wrinkles?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Chronic squinting can cause muscular contraction around your eyes which stimulate wrinkles.  As you age, some of these wrinkles may persist even when you are not squinting.  I would recommend considering correcting your vision to prevent squinting, Botox to prevent the muscles from contracting, and laser skin treatments to tighten the skin/minimize any current wrinkles.

Question 10

can stress really cause wrinkles? is it really possible for prolonged stress to cause the formation of wrinkles on someone's face?

Accepted Answer

I think so: I am big believer that our outer beauty is affected by our inner health and wellness.  I do not have any strong scientific data, but in my experience, my patients with stress loose their aesthetiec results sooner than those with less stress.
