How to prevent wrinkles- and what to do if it’s too late!

I asked my friends at Advanced Cosmetic Surgery and Laser Center for their best advice to prevent wrinkles and here’s what they said:

1. Avoid The Sun The #1 cause of wrinkles is found in sun exposure. Wear a produce with sunscreen. We recommend Jane Iredale makeup for the ultimate protection for your skin.

2. Don’t Smoke We see such poor skin with smokers in our practice. Smoking releases an enzyme that breaks down collagen and elastin, more importantly components of the skin. Research found 40% thinner skin than that of a non-smoker. Another great reason to quit the habit!

3. Hydrate Hydration restores and maintains fluid balance in the skin which helps your skin look plumper, healthier and smoother. As we age, it becomes more important to include moisturization to our daily routine.

This is great information, but what if it’s too late? What if you spent your teen years in the sun, with no sun protection? Or you’re an ex-smoker, with the wrinkles to prove it?  There’s hope! I asked Dr. Mendelsohn’s team of experts what they suggest.

Top 5 Ways To Reduce Wrinkles:

1. Botox Botox can be used for many facial wrinkles. If started at a younger age it can prevent the lines and wrinkles from forming. For the rest of us, Botox works beautifully to reduce these unwanted lines and wrinkles. Botox treatments literally take just a few minutes.

2. Fillers Fillers add volume that is lost due to aging and loss of elasticity. Using fillers for both superficial and deeper lines and wrinkles erases them immediately and last 9-15 months.

3. Smartzide DOT Unbelievable advances in skin resurfacing allow patients to safely treat many skin problems in just minutes, with much less down time than past therapies. Achieve beautiful skin in less than 10 minutes. Take 10 Years Off with DOT.

4. Skin Treatments There is a remedy for virtually all skin conditions. There are a variety of treatments available on the market today, these treatments work on acne, blemishes, wrinkles .

5. Skin Care Products Daily use of skin care products, directed by your esthetician or physician, that contain active ingredients, such as Vitamin C, Peptides, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Retinols will help rejuvenate the skin and improve the overall appearance of the skin.
