What really causes wrinkles? New research says it’s not age, it’s physics

New research from Binghamton University reveals the physics behind wrinkle formation. Uneven skin stretching causes wrinkles, not just aging. Older skin pulls harder sideways, leading to buckling. Sunlight accelerates this process by damaging collagen. Future anti-wrinkle treatments may focus on rebalancing skin stress. Sunscreen, retinoids, and a healthy diet remain crucial.
