wrinkle
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.
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 are big business in many industrialized
countries. Despite great demand, most such products and treatments have not been
proven to give lasting or major positive effects.
