Smoke accelerates the normal process the skin goes through as it ages and not only causes more wrinkles then there should be but make them appear much earlier in life. This can lead you to look much older that you really are. Just ten years of smoking regularly can cause the damage to appear. If you started smoking when you were very young this mean you could get wrinkled in your twenties you should not have until your forties. The more you smoke and the longer you do it for the worse the wrinkles will be. Since the start of this kind of damage is hard to see you may not notice a problem until it is too late to do preventive measures at home.

While the wrinkle you have may not ever go away you can keep them from getting worse by if you stop smoking now. Smoking causes wrinkles in several ways. The nicotine in the cigarettes makes the blood vessels less wide at the surface level of your skin. This cause a lack in blood flow to the skins surface. With out the proper flow you skin does not get what it needs to remain healthy like oxygen, vitamin A and other nutrients.

Also there are more than four thousand chemicals in cigarettes, all of which come out in their smoke. These chemical settle on you skin causing it damage and reducing the amount of collagen and elastin it has. Collagen and elasin are what give your skin elasticity and strength. When they are depleted the skin will droop and this causes the deep wrinkles. Also the heat form the cigarettes and lighter can cause damage as well as the repetitive motion from taking a drag.

Treating the deep wrinkles that are cause by smoking is not easy and is not something you can do yourself at home. To see any real results you will have to go to a doctor and spend a great deal of money and time on treatments. These treatments are not even permanent so it is not going to be a one shot deal. You will have to return over and over to keep the desired look you want. Your options are going to be skin resurfacing by microdermabrasion or laser treatments, injectable fillers, chemical peels or in worst case scenarios surgery. No matter what the treatment you will need to stop smoking to get full results.
