Dr. Brian Lynch answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Wrinkles: Living, expressing emotion. The skin starts out smooth and unwrinkled. We crease it from use. It is just like a piece of paper or cardboard. If you fold or bend it there'll be a crease there . You do it over and over again the underlying tissue or structure breaks and weakens.
