There is no magic formula to turn back the clock on aging. As the years roll by, the steady onslaught of time is perhaps most noticeable on your skin. Besides being the largest organ of the body, your skin is also reflective of your internal well-being. In other words, the appearance of your skin is an indicator of how healthy you are and vice versa.
Time may be the most dominant reason for skin aging, but it alone is not responsible for adding years to your face. The skin gradually loses its elasticity and suppleness with advancing age due to several factors, some of which are beyond your control while others can still be avoided. You may not be able to escape skin aging altogether, but you can certainly delay the process and mitigate its effects.
Some of the most common physical manifestations of skin aging include the surfacing of wrinkles around the eyes, fine lines around the lips, and age spots on the hands.
The most conspicuous and stubborn wrinkling pattern to appear on the face develops in the form of vertical or horizontal creases on the forehead. Once these forehead wrinkles set in, it can be hard to get rid of them, and they usually stick around for a lifetime, unless certain cosmetic procedures are performed, such as cosmetic injections and laser resurfacing.
Moreover, there is reason to believe that deep-seated forehead wrinkles can be more than just a harmless cosmetic concern.
A research paper presented in 2018 established an association between deep forehead wrinkles and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Results of the study showed that the cardiovascular mortality risk of the subjects tended to increase with their wrinkle score.
Because the blood vessels in the forehead are relatively small, they may be more vulnerable to plaque buildup. Thus, the appearance of forehead wrinkles could actually result from and be a sign of vessel aging. However, these results have not been confirmed and future studies are warranted to establish these findings. Read more
