Each Decade Brings Changes in Facial Appearance

Why do some people have facial skin that makes them look younger than their actual age? What are they doing differently than everyone else?
Genetics could be a factor, but they most likely began following these sensible rules while they were still young:
- Minimize ultraviolet exposure by avoiding the sun and tanning salons. When they do have to be in the sun, they protect their skin by applying a sunscreen with an appropriate level of UVA and UVB protection to the face, ears, neck, and the backs of the hands.
- Don’t smoke, because smoking encourages wrinkling by depriving the skin of oxygen and creating lines and (eventually) deep grooves around the mouth.
- Cleanse properly with warm (never hot) water and a gentle skin cleanser to remove makeup and excess oil. Be gentle…use your fingertips, not a terry cloth or scrubber, and never pick at blemishes.
- Drink water, moisturize, eat well, and sleep well. These habits are good for your general health, too…not just your skin.
It’s never too late to start taking better care of your skin!
Fractional Laser Treatments
Monday, October 26th, 2009
Fractional laser treatments are a new twist to traditional laser resurfacing. Traditional laser procedures treat the entire surface of the face and are used to smooth away deep wrinkles, but may require extended downtime. Fractional laser resurfacing is a less invasive treatment series that eliminates wrinkles, fine lines and other skin imperfections, while requiring less healing time.
Laser fractional therapy uses gentle pulses that treat only a small portion of the surface of the face at one time. These pulses are effective in treating many skin conditions including wrinkles, acne scars, and sun-damaged skin. Depending on the depth of the chosen treatment, it can involve one session, or a series of treatments that significantly improve skin’s texture, elasticity and clarity, with final results occurring 8-10 weeks after the first treatment.

Beauty Myth: You don’t need anti-
wrinkle treatments until your mid-30s

Pro-actively treating your skin to avoid wrinkles is your best bet. Besides limiting sun exposure and wearing sunscreen, retinol creams and glycolic acid can help keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay. Clinical treatments, like BOTOX®, Restylane®, Juvederm® and other dermal fillers may actually help prevent deeper lines from forming. Remember, it’s never too early to start taking care of your skin!
