AB  - The  desire  to  maintain  or  restore  a  youthful  appearance  has  become  a  significant  concern  for  many  people  in  today’s  world.  Evidently,  “wrinkles”  are  considered  one  of  the  major  obstacles  in  this  arena.  In  2004,  Botox  Cosmetic™  injections  were  shown  to  be  the  most  often  performed  cosmetic  procedure  in  the  United  States.1  Cutaneous  wrinkles,  defined  as  furrows  or  ridges  on  the  skin  surface,  appear  to  be  multifactorial  in  etiology  and  a  consequence  of  intrinsic  and  extrinsic  aging  (discussed  in  Chapter  6).  While  genetic  predisposition  is  an  important  factor  in  developing  wrinkles,  engaging  in  particular  life  style  behaviors  such  as  excessive  sun  exposure  and  smoking  are  also  known  causes  of  cutaneous  aging  (see  Chapter  6).  This  chapter  will  concentrate  on  wrinkles  not  caused  by  sun  exposure  but,  rather,  by  intrinsic  aging.  Treatment  approaches  focus  more  on  the  condition  itself,  but  also  address  behavioral  elements  pertaining  to  extrinsic  aging.
