Wrinkled human skin, illustration. Wrinkles appear in skin as part of the ageing process as the skin loses its elasticity, and a form of fibrosis occurs as collagen accumulates. The layers shown here are (top to bottom): the epidermis (three layers shown here), the dermis (pink, middle), and the hypodermis (bottom, including yellow fat tissue). Across bottom is part of a muscle layer. The top and bottom layers of the epidermis are the stratum corneum and the stratum basale. For normal, non-wrinkled skin, see image C041/7395.
