Wrinkle
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Expand Image:Wrinkly fingers.jpg 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.
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) submersion in water.
Treatments and products (including anti-aging creams) promising to reduce, remove or prevent age-related wrinkles is big business in many industrialised countries. Despite great demand, most such products and treatments have not been proven to give lasting or major positive effects.
