Rises in signs of aging? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

increases

'rises' is the definition.
(rise can mean an increase in something)

'in signs of aging?' is the wordplay.
'signs of aging?' becomes 'creases' (creases in one's skin).
'in'+'creases'='INCREASES'

(Other definitions for increases that I've seen before include "Becomes greater" , "Becomes bigger" , "Gets bigger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
