A wrinkle is a ridge or crease of a surface. It usually refers to folds on fabric or clothes, or on the skin of an organism; the folds are generally random and do not exhibit any repeating pattern. A textile is a flexible material comprised of a network of natural or artificial Fibres often referred to as thread or Yarn. Clothing (also called clothes, accoutrements, accouterments, or habiliments) protects the Human body from extreme Weather The skin is the outer covering of living tissue of an animal (or plant In skin or other foldable material a wrinkle or fold may be permanent if the material is folded the same way each time.

Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water. Ageing or aging (American English is the accumulation of changes in an organism Glycation (sometimes called non-enzymatic Glycosylation) is the result of a sugar molecule such as Fructose or Glucose, bonding to a Protein Water is a common Chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of Life. Wrinkling in skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors. ^[1] With prolonged water exposure, the outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. The skin doesn't expand evenly, however, and this causes your skin to wrinkle. Deplation of water in the body, as occurs with dehydration, can also cause this puckering of the skin. ^[2]

Aging wrinkles

Smoking is a key factor in the development of wrinkles. ^[3] Treatments and products (including anti-aging creams) promising to reduce, remove, or prevent age-related wrinkles are big business in many industrialized countries. Anti-aging creams are moisturisers marketed with the promise of making the consumer look younger and reducing visible Wrinkles on Despite great demand, most such products and treatments have not been proven to give lasting or major positive effects. Stretching the skin via a face lift will remove some wrinkles.

Tretinoin

Although the exact mode of action of tretinoin is unknown, current evidence suggests that tretinoin decreases cohesiveness of follicular epithelial cells. Tretinoin is the acid form of Vitamin A and so also known as all-trans retinoic acid or ATRA. Additionally, tretinoin stimulates mitotic activity and increased turnover of follicular epithelial cells. ^[4]

Botox

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin is a Neurotoxin Protein produced by the Bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Botox is manufactured by Allergan Inc (U. S. ) for both therapeutic as well as cosmetic use. Besides its cosmetic application, Botox is used in the treatment of other conditions including migraine headache and cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis) (a neuromuscular disorder involving the head and neck)^[5]

Restylane

Restylane is a non animal stabilized hyaluronic acid produced by Q-med in Sweden. Dystonia is a neurological Movement disorder in which sustained muscle contractions cause twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures Torticollis or Requa neck, is a condition in which the Head is tilted toward one side and the Chin is elevated and turned toward the opposite Restylane is the trade name for a specific formulation of non-animal sourced Hyaluronic acid most commonly used for lip augmentation The wrinkle- resolving gel is worldwide the most commonly used dermal filler since it was introduced in 1996. Particularly effective is it when used in a special injection technique; The Fern Pattern Technique. This technique was introduced by the Dutch cosmetic doctor Tom van Eijk in Sweden in 2005. The article on the subject was published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, August 2007.

Prune fingers

The wrinkles that occur in skin after prolonged exposure to water are sometimes referred to as prune fingers or water aging. This is a temporary skin condition where the skin on the palms of the hand or feet becomes wrinkly. The skin is the outer covering of living tissue of an animal (or plant It is caused when the keratin-laden epithelial skin is immersed in water. Keratins are a family of fibrous structural proteins; tough and insoluble they form the hard but nonmineralized structures found in Reptiles Birds In biology and medicine epithelium is a tissue composed of cells that line the cavities and surfaces of structures throughout the body ^[6] The skin expands and the resultant larger surface area forces it to wrinkle. Usually the tips of the fingers and toes are the first to wrinkle because of a thicker layer of keratin and an absence of hairs which secrete the protective oil called sebum. The sebaceous glands are Glands found in the Skin of Mammals Locations and morphology A branched type of Acinar gland, these Wrinkled fingers often occur after taking a shower or bath and last up to fifteen minutes afterwards, until the water has evaporated or is absorbed into the body. A shower (also called shower bath is a booth for washing usually in a Bathroom, having an overhead nozzle that sprays water down on the body Bathing is the immersion of the body in a Fluid, usually Water or an aqueous solution ^[7][8][9]

Prune fingers is named for the skins' resemblance to the wrinkled, rough surface of a prune. A prune is any of various of various Plum species mostly Prunus domesticus or European Plum (commonly referred to as a Sugar Plum

Animals with wrinkles

Examples of wrinkles can be found in various animal species that grow loose, excess skin, particularly when they are young. Several breeds of dog, such as the Pug and the Shar Pei, have been bred to exaggerate this trait. The dog ( Canis lupus familiaris) is a domesticated Subspecies of the gray wolf, a Mammal of the Canidae family of the order The Pug is a small breed of Dog with a wrinkly short muzzled face. The Shar Pei or Chinese Shar-Pei is a breed of Dog known for its distinctive features of deep wrinkles and a blue-black tongue In dogs bred for fighting, this is the result of selection for loose skin, which confers a protective advantage. Dog fighting is a Fight between game Dogs This Blood sport is utilized for Entertainment and may also create a revenue stream Wrinkles are also associated with neoteny (cuteness), as they are a trait associated with juvenile animals. Neoteny (niːˈɒtɨniː also called juvenilization, is the retention by adults in a species of traits previously seen only in juveniles ( pedomorphosis/paedomorphosis * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * DO NOT ADD ANY IMAGES WITHOUT * * PROVIDING ACCORDING

Fabric wrinkles

Fabric wrinkles occur as a result of cloth being bunched or folded unevenly. Wrinkled clothing is often undesirable in situations such as job interviews, or formal social events. A job interview is a process in which a potential employee is evaluated by an employer for prospective Employment in their Company, Organization, or There are products such as irons and fabric sprays to remove wrinkles from cloth. Ironing or smoothing is the work of using a heated tool or tools (an iron) to remove Wrinkles from fabric Some more modern fabrics have been engineered to be wrinkle-free or wrinkle-resistant by incorporating water-resistant polymers. A polymer is a large Molecule ( Macromolecule) composed of repeating Structural units typically connected by Covalent Chemical bonds ^[10]
