what causes wrinkles on your face
What Causes Face
and Skin
Wrinkles?
While no product can give
you wrinkle-free skin, the
first step in finding the right
anti aging products for your
skin to minimize wrinkles is
to understand what causes
wrinkles.
For many of us, the most common anti aging skin care concern is the formation of wrinkles and the need to find an appropriate
anti wrinkle treatment. However, the best cream, serum or treatment to help you reduce fine lines and wrinkles may actually
depend on the cause of your wrinkles. Once you know that, you can help prevent these signs of aging. In this section of the
Murad Anti Aging Skin Care and Resource Center, we’ll discuss the causes of wrinkles and fine lines.
Genetic Aging Can Cause Wrinkles
Genetic factors can lead to fine lines, wrinkles and even deep lines. This process typically begins during the 20s, so it’s best to
start using anti aging and anti wrinkle products when you’re younger to prevent the signs of aging and keep skin youthful-looking.
With age, the body’s collagen production slows; elastin, the substance that causes skin to be able to “snap” back into place from
a furrowed or wrinkled state, begins to lose some of its flexibility; and cellular turnover rate decreases. All of these changes—
along with the skin’s decreasing ability to combat the damage from UV rays, which we’ll discuss in the section on fading age
spots–are unavoidable as we age. Together, these changes cause the skin to sag and look less full, which makes wrinkles more
visible. Of course, your genetic makeup has a great deal to do with how you age. But using a complete skin care regimen, leading
a healthy lifestyle and finding an effective anti wrinkle treatment at the first signs of aging can make a big difference.It’s a safe bet
to take a look at your family. If their skin is still smooth at an older age, you likely have a great genetic makeup for younger
looking skin. If you do, then it’s about making wise decisions about skin care and lifestyle to preserve the skin that your genes
already want to keep looking young.On the Murad Skin Deep Blog. What is collagen ?
Hormonal Aging Can Cause Wrinkles
The hormonal changes that occur before and during menopause have a significant impact on the skin and contribute to the
development of lines and wrinkles on the face and body. That’s true for women who aren’t genetically predisposed to the signs of
aging and wrinkles early on, as well as for women who use an effective anti wrinkle skin care regimen. Estrogen is the key to this
process. Estrogen is the hormone that encourages and controls collagen production, which keeps the skin firm, soft and supple.
During the years that lead up to menopause (the late 20s to the mid-40s), the body continues to produce skin-enhancing
estrogen. However, it produces it in lower and lower quantities. After menopause, collagen production begins to decrease
significantly. In fact, in some studies, skin has been shown to lose up to a full 30% of its collagen in the first five years after
menopause.
When estrogen decreases and a dramatic drop-off in collagen production accompanies it, skin can become more fragile and thin
with increased wrinkles and sagging. Acne breakouts and facial hair growth may even occur as a result. Because the face has a
high concentration of estrogen receptors, skin changes due to hormonal shifts may be the most visible on the face, primarily in
the form of deep creases, dull tone and a “crepe-like” texture. While women can’t avoid menopause, living a healthy lifestyle and
using products that hydrate and strengthen the skin can help minimize its effects. When the signs of Hormonal Aging do begin to
appear, look for products that hydrate and firm the skin, such as Murad Resurgence®. which is specifically formulated to address
the signs of Hormonal Aging.
Environmental Factors and Free Radicals Can Cause Wrinkles
Every day when we go out into the world, we’re exposed to pollutants and UV rays that form free radicals in our bodies. Free
radicals are unstable oxygen molecules that are missing an electron. Because free radicals have only one electron, they scavenge
them from other molecules, causing a chain reaction. This battle between free radicals damages cell functions and, more
importantly, activates the metalloproteinases that break down collagen. While minimizing exposure to UV rays helps, it’s nearly
impossible to avoid free radicals altogether since most of us are exposed to pollution and toxins on a daily basis. But antioxidants
like Vitamin C and Vitamin E, which are nature’s warriors against free radicals, can counteract their effects. Eating foods that are
rich in antioxidants and using antioxidant infused skin care products, like Murad Environmental Shield®. can help fight the impact
of environmental aging on the skin.
Smoking Can Causes Wrinkles
Smoking cigarettes is obviously detrimental to your health on many levels. In addition to all the side effects you’ve already heard
about, cigarettes contain over 400 types of toxins that trigger biochemical changes in the body that accelerate and intensify
aging. In fact, studies have shown that a person who smokes ten cigarettes a day for ten years or more is more likely to develop
deep wrinkles and leathery skin than a nonsmoker. In one pinnacle study, researchers were able to identify smokers simply by
looking at the wrinkle patterns on their faces. If you smoke even a little, you’re doing an immense amount of damage to your
body. For the sake of your skin and your overall health, it’s best to quit smoking entirely. If you have trouble kicking the habit on
your own, there are many forms of medical assistance available to help.
Repetitive Facial Patterns Can Cause Wrinkles
A lifetime of making the same facial expressions over and over again can cause lines and wrinkles. Each time you use a facial
muscle, a groove forms beneath the surface of the skin. For example, repetitive squinting causes frown lines on the forehead and
crow’s feet around the eyes. As the skin ages and elastin decreases, the skin stops “springing” back to its original, line-free state,
and the grooves that were once below the skin become fine lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin. To minimize wrinkles
caused by squinting, wear sunglasses or a hat whenever you’re outside during the day. And be sure to minimize stress—which
causes frown lines–whenever possible to help prevent your facial expressions from becoming permanent lines and wrinkles.
Gravity Can Cause Wrinkles
Gravity has been pulling on your skin for your entire life, and when elastin production breaks down in your 50s, the signs of
gravity’s effect on your skin become even more evident. While one of the most obvious effects of gravity on your skin is an
overall drooping of the skin on your face, the deepness of your wrinkles will increase as well.
While time and age eventually cause wrinkles to form on your face, there are a number of preventive lifestyle choices that you
can make to minimize this impact. These include limiting sun exposure and preventing sun damage; living a healthy, smoke-free,
low-stress lifestyle; and incorporating antioxidants into your diet and skin care. When the inevitable signs of aging do begin to
appear, using skin care products that combat and compensate for the decrease in collagen production and the declining
effectiveness of elastin can help keep your skin youthful-looking, healthy and firm.

13 Really Bad
Habits That Cause
Wrinkles
You know the drill: Wash off your makeup and apply moisturizer daily. But despite those healthy habits, you're probably making
some pretty common mistakes that might do more harm than good.
1. Tugging at your eyes while
applying liner.
We know you want the perfect cat eye. but that doesn't mean you should bang up the delicate skin around your eyes to get it.
Aggressive pulling can lead to puffiness, broken blood vessels, and wrinkles. "Use an eyeliner that glides rather than tugs,"
recommends Dr. Julia Tzu of Wall Street Dermatology in New York City.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
2. Thinking a perfect combo of anti-
aging products exists.
Many skin care fanatics use a makeup remover, face wash, toner, serum, moisturizer, face oil, eye cream, eye gel, sunscreen,
and wrinkle filler — each and every day, all in pursuit of perfect skin. Sadly, it doesn't quite work like that.
"The biggest skin care mistake is not realizing that less is more," explains Dr. Mona Gohara, associate clinical professor of
dermatology at the Yale School of Medicine. "They throw all these different products on themselves, which can irritate your skin
and cause inflammation," potentially exacerbating the signs of aging. A better bet? Using tried-and-true products that actually
work. Gohara recommends ones that features retinols, antioxidants, and SPF.
3. Skipping SPF in your car.
Just because you're inside of a vehicle doesn't mean you're protected: In the United States, left-sided skin cancers and wrinkling
are more common because that's where the sun hits you as you're driving. Always wear sunscreen, especially if you're a frequent
driver.
4. Assuming "organic" is inherently
better.
Sure, organic can be better for your body when it comes to food, but that's not necessarily true for your skin. Don't assume
something is going to reduce your wrinkles and the signs of aging simply because it says "organic" — otherwise, you could wind
up ignoring inflammatory ingredients. "After all," Gohara says, "poison ivy is natural and organic, but it's obviously not good for
your skin."
5. Aggressively removing your eye
makeup.
Taking off your makeup at night is important, but you should do it gently. The last thing you want to do is rub, tug, or scrap the
skin around your eyes to get that last little bit of mascara off. "You can cause broken blood vessels and puffiness," warns Gohara.
6. Sleeping on your stomach or
side.
"Sleeping on your back is the best way to prevent sleep-induced wrinkles," explains Tzu. Love lying on your stomach? Gohara
recommends using a satin pillowcase — they're less abrasive than the cotton kind.
7. Cleaning too thoroughly.
After a long day, you want to get all the dirt, grease, and grime out of your pores by any means necessary, but this is a mistake
that could cost your skin its youthful suppleness and glow. "When people use harsh soap in order to get a squeaky clean feel,
they strip their skin of its natural oils and accentuate fine lines," says Gohara. Stick to a gentle cleanser and don't scrub — your
skin will thank you later.
8. Giving up on products too soon.
Have you ever tried a new product, but saw only minimal (if any) results after a few weeks and decided to toss it or give it away?
Unfortunately, you could be shorting yourself of that product's benefits, says Dr. Janet Prystowsky, a New York City
dermatologist.
"The thing is, those creams take months to make any difference," explains Prystowsky, "so unless a product is damaging your
skin, it's better to use it up before buying a new one." A tip that benefits our skin and our wallets? Yes, please.
9. Relying on a single "miracle
product" to stop the signs of aging.
Achieving great skin doesn't require one product or one simple trick — it's a lifestyle. From your eating and sleeping habits to your
exercise regimen and sun exposure, there isn't one simple cream or serum that will fix all your skincare woes.
10. Sitting too close to the
computer screen.
Constantly squinting your eyes andstraining to see the screen causes fine wrinkles around the eyes, explains Tzu, who
recommends sitting about 1 1/2 to 2 feet — whichever is comfortable for your vision. Keep your neck straight to maintain good
posture and decrease horizontal neck lines. Prystowsky also suggests taking a break two or three times an hour in order to
readjust your posture and stretch. You could use a little rest every now and then throughout the day, anyway.
11. Skipping your annual eye exam.
If you don't feel like your prescription has changed all that much, you may feel tempted to not make an appointment with your
eye doctor. However, furrow lines along your brow can occur if your vision is not properly corrected, so it's better to ensure that
your prescription is absolutely up to date.
12. Smoking cigarettes.
By now, everyone knows that smoking is bad for your body and looks. yet an estimated 42.1 million Americans are currently
cigarette smokers, leading to over 480,000 deaths each year. Skip the cigarettes — your body, skin, and loved ones will thank
you lady.
13. Not wearing sunscreen.
Most people know how important SPF is to long-term skincare. but there are still those who skip sunscreen because they think a
little tan here and there won't hurt. "The vast majority of aging signs come from unprotected skin exposure," says Gohara, "so
by not wearing sunscreen, you're actually accelerating the process."

Wrinkle Treatment Breakthroughs
Rhytides, commonly known as wrinkles, on the face are an unsightly and irritating problem. Photoaging makes our faces look
much older than we'd like, and certainly older than we feel. Initially they may start as dynamic wrinkles, along our squint lines near
the eyes or foreheads creases. Then they may deepen into permanent lines. Brown spots, facial veins or other symptoms of sun
damage may also set in. Fortunately there is hope. The last decade has seen an incredible amount of new research into a variety
of topics including why skin ages from the sun's ultraviolet UVA and UVB rays or from smoking, how to prevent aging with topical
creams such as sunscreen or moisturizing antioxidents, and how to improve the appearance of fine lines with lasers and light-
sources. Dramatic improvements in laser technology and injectable fillers have helped tens of millions of Americans look and feel
more beautiful. A plethora of FDA-approved devices have shown great improvement in reducing wrinkles in the epidermis and
collagen building in the dermis layer of the skin. This website was created by some of the world's leading authorities in

BOTOX® COSMETIC,
RESTYLANE, JUVEDERM
AND OTHER INJECTABLES
Restylane was a great choice to plump up my lips and erase the lines around my lips. After turning fifty, the corners of my mouth
started sinking, so I looked as if I were permanently angry. That bothered me enough to consult it with my doctor and he
recommended a dermal filler. Now I can wear lipstick as I did before, without constant frowning!
I have had dark circles under my eyes ever since I can remember. It’s genetic – my mom had the same problem. I was thinking
about dermal fillers for a while to fix this because make-up simply wasn’t helping. After considering a few treatment options I
decided for Restylane and it was absolutely worth it. I felt only a slight discomfort during the procedure, but it was quick and there
was no pain afterwards. The dark circles are gone and I will definitely do this again!
I hope this will be helpful for everyone out there afraid to take the first step. I was also hesitating for many months whether to
get a dermal filler under my eyes to get rid of the sunken look. But I was ashamed – everyone would always tell me to grow old
with grace. Well, that’s easier said than done, so 2 weeks ago I decided to go for it. My doctor recommended Restylane and I
can’t thank him enough. The sunken look is gone, yet the appearance is so natural nobody would ever be able to tell I had a
cosmetic procedure done!

The Vitamin
Deficiency That is
Written All Over
Your Face
Are wrinkles an inevitable fact of aging or could laugh lines and crow’s feet potentially indicate a vitamin deficiency or even a more
serious underlying health issue?
In 2011, researchers presented findings at a meeting of the Endocrine Society in Boston that revealed that women in their 40’s
and 50’s who have extensive skin wrinkling are much more likely than their peers to have low bone mass.
Researchers noted the relationship between wrinkles and bone density in every single bone tested which included hip, heel, and
lumbar (spine). In addition, this relationship existed regardless of body fat percentage and age.
Epidemiological evidence of Asian women offers further health clues to the wrinkle mystery.
It is known that Japanese women have fewer wrinkles and less skin sagging that women of the same age living in North America.
These two groups of women vary greatly in diet and lifestyle, however.
Even when Japanese women living in Tokyo were compared with women from the Asian cities of Shanghai and Bangok, however,
they showed the least visible signs of aging.
Diet and lifestyle factors for these three Asian groups of women are comparable except for one notable exception: the
consumption of natto in Japan.
Tokyo residents frequently enjoy natto, a strong smelling food traditionally made from fermented soybeans for breakfast. Natto
is loaded with menaquinone, Vitamin K2, and blood samples of the Tokyo women revealed high circulating levels of this fat soluble
vitamin.
Further research which bolsters the notion that getting plenty of anti-wrinkle vitamin K2 in the diet makes for smoother facial
features is found in the research of Korean scientists and was published in the journal Nephrology in 2008.
The rate at which the kidneys are able to filter the blood is an important measure of overall kidney function. Researchers found
that reduced renal filtration rate was associated with increased facial wrinkling.
What does decreased kidney filtration rate predict?
You guessed it – Vitamin K2 deficiency, according to American research published the year after the Korean study.
Testing has been limited so far on the true extent of Vitamin K2 deficiency in the western world, but so far, of those tested, 90%
tested deficient in this critical nutrient.
Avoid the Vitamin
Deficiency That Causes
Wrinkles With These Foods
If you want to avoid a vitamin deficiency of K2, know that it is an elusive nutrient and extremely difficult to obtain with a modern
diet. The highest sources of K2 are natto (fermented soybeans), goose liver, certain cheeses and animal fats like egg yolk, butter
and lard which must come from grassfed animals.
Natto contains a whopping 1,103 mcg of K2 per 3 1/2 ounce portion which blows away every other food by a country mile.
The second highest food in Vitamin K2 is goose liver pate which has 369 mcg per 3 1/2 ounce portion. While delicious and
wonderful to eat, goose liver pate is very hard to find in most places. It is also a very high end, gourmet food which makes the
price out of reach for most.
Rounding out the top 3 foods highest in Vitamin K2 is none other than the humble Gouda cheese, which boasts 75 mcg per 3 1/2
ounce serving! This compares to pastured egg yolks and butter, which each have about 15 mcg of K2 per 3 1/2 ounce portion.
Brie cheese is also very high in K2.
How much of these K2 containing foods should you eat to avoid a vitamin deficiency of this critical nutrient? That part gets murky
as the official recommended daily intake (RDI) of Vitamin K doesn’t distinguish between K1 and K2 despite their very different
uses in the body. The RDI for Vitamin K is only determined by the liver’s requirement for normal blood clotting factors, not the K2
needed for optimal bone and kidney health and wrinkle free skin. So, getting enough K1 in the diet via leafy greens could still mean
a serious vitamin deficiency of K2.
The good news is that there is no known toxicity of Vitamin K2. so eating generously of Vitamin K2 rich foods as practiced by
Traditional Societies and even potentially taking a supplement to avoid a vitamin deficiency is considered wise by Dr. Kate
Rheaume-Bleue, ND, author of Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox .
Vitamin K2 Update
Recent research has shown that an Aboriginal sacred food is extremely high in vitamin K2, so high in fact that it is nearly as high
as goose liver pate! Click here for where to source authentic emu oil from the genetically pure strain of birds eating their native
diet that produce this nutrient dense fat.

Too bad Monsanto and like ruined soy for us all, by genetically engineering it and dousing it in disease-causing chemicals like
glyphosate (in Roundup). So realistically, it is very hard for us to get an uncontaminated source of K2. And if we could find it, it
would be very expensive.
Grass-fed animals are going out of existence. Also very expensive, thanks to the chemical companies screwing up our food
system.

There actually is organic natto. Not all natto is conventional. I have organic natto in my freezer right now. For me, I can eat pretty
much anything, but natto was…. almost impossible for me to eat to say the least. But, organic natto does exist. It wasn’t too
expensive.

“Diet and lifestyle factors for these three Asian groups of women are comparable except for one notable exception: the
consumption of natto in Japan.”
Really? You said that out loud. What about…
– Dramatically lower sugar intake (horrible for bones, wrinkles and the gut bacteria that make K2)
– Dramatically lower phosphoric acid from soda (directly de-calcifies bones)
– Much more soy (keeps post-menopausal skin more youthful)
– An obsession with keeping white skin / high SPF sun protection (rather than fondness for a tan)
– Dramatically lower dairy intake (correlates with much LOWER osteoporosis, not higher!)
– Much higher fish(DHA, EPA) and seaweed (Iodine) intakes.
…I could go on, and on…
Seriously…the one difference you could think of was eating natto?

Lili, her point was that out of these 3 Asian diets, the difference between these diets was the consumption of natto. She was not

There is no “obsession with keeping white skin”, and tanned skin is actually healither than sun deprived skin which is unnatural.

Natto is high in k2, it has been proven. Women in Tokyo tend to eat it. They have less wrinkles. Not sure what the problem is
with that point.

I was researching some things you posted about soy and natto, and I’m a little confused being that there are so many post about
how soy is so bad for us. Here is a bit of one of your posts.
Be sure not to be taken in by the argument that because soy is organic, nonGMO or sprouted that it is just fine to eat it.
Fermented soy in small, condimental amounts as practiced in traditional Asian cultures is the only safe way to consume this
legume and even then, only for those who have healthy thyroid function because it is so extremely goitrogenic. Miso, tempeh,
natto and soy sauce (IF traditionally brewed) fall under this category.
So is it safe for us to take the MK-7 that comes from natto? Does the daily dosage fall under the “small amount”. And if natto is a
natural plant estrogen is it something I should give to my sons and husband?
I truly respect your opinions and your research. Thank you for helping change my family’s life!

It’s unwise to think that an Asian style diet would produce the same results in American women of European descent. We have
very different biochemistry and abilities to digest certain foods. For example, I am HIGHLY sensitive to soy, it gives me extreme
digestive upset. Just as Asian and Japanese women tend to have difficulty digesting dairy products. Perhaps the K2 is an answer.
Perhaps there are others as well. I believe, though, that the biggest problem we have in our diets is what has been ADDED to
them that shouldn’t be there, rather than what is lacking.

Of course genetics are different, but it can’t hurt to look at what they are doing differently to give them different results, can it?
You may be sensitive to soy, but have you tried Natto? the point is that it’s very fermented, as is miso. Unfermented soy
products, such as tofu and soymilk, are never recommended for lots of reasons. Everyone is sensitive to those, whether they
realize it or not, because they are mostly indigestible to humans, and the phytoestrogens are toxic to our endocrine systems. No
one is recommending you eat soy. Small amounts of fermented soy, however, have their benefits. Fermentation is key.

because of my thyroid and because of estrogen factors. I’m not sure I can get passed that…

I am from Japan and we usually eat natto for breakfast. We mix it with raw egg (or egg yolk), sauce that comes with the
package of natto (or soy sauce), some sliced scallions and sprinkles of nori. Pour it over hot rice. It smells and also stringy but

What Causes
Wrinkles & How
to Prevent Them
Wrinkles are a tell-tale sign of old age, and something that every woman dreads. The more wrinkles that a person has, the older
they begin to look and the less attractive they begin to feel.
So it’s not surprising that the skin care industry has come up with many different products to help keep wrinkles at bay. As a
result, you can now buy face creams, serums and even undergo a variety of surgical and non-surgical procedures to keep you
looking young for as long as possible.
In this article, we are going to be looking at the different types of wrinkles and the treatments available for them. We will also be
looking at some prevention measures to delay the onset of premature aging.
So whatever your age, and whatever the condition of your skin, you should hopefully find this guide helpful in better meeting your
skin care goals.
Advances in skin care science mean that you can now hold onto your looks for longer.
So to begin with, let’s start by defining the types of lines that can appear on the face as a person ages. This is important to know,
because different types of lines have different treatment implications.
Expression Lines
Wrinkles can come in many different forms. But there is a type of wrinkle that everybody has, they are called expression lines.
Typically, these tend to appear around the mouth and forehead areas as a result of your most frequent facial expressions.
Expression lines, however, are not really true wrinkles, because everyone has them and they do not occur as a result of the aging
process.
Although expression lines are not caused by age, the aging process can result in them becoming more noticeable over time.
If you want to minimize the appearance of expression lines, you need to avoid contorting your face when you feel a certain way.
This, however, can be hard to do, as people often form facial expressions through habit and without realizing what they are doing.
For example, smiling, frowning or squinting your eyes can all cause expression lines to appear on the face, and the more often
you do such facial contortions, the more pronounced or deeper those lines will become.
Furthermore, expression lines can also lead to fine lines and wrinkles developing later in life, so you may want to pay attention to
how you contort your face.
A good way to do this, is to ask someone if they notice any expression lines on your face when you talk to them. Alternatively,
try looking in the mirror and see how your skin reacts when you display different types of emotions.
Most people don’t notice their expression lines until someone else notices them.
Interestingly, expression lines can give you a clue as to the type of character that a person has. For example, a person who
worries a lot is likely to have worry lines on their brow or forehead.
Whereas, a person who laughs a lot, will tend to have smile lines along either side of their mouth, and will probably also develop
Crow’s feet on the outside corners of their eyes when they get older.
Fine Lines
Fine lines/creases are the first type of proper wrinkle that appears on the face as a result of the aging process. Fine lines are like
mini wrinkles. They are very thin, but not very deep. They can however, progress to larger and deeper wrinkles later on.
Fine lines are most likely to appear around the eye area.
Fine lines occur naturally as a result of aging, but they can also occur prematurely due to having dry skin, smoking cigarettes, not
eating enough fat, not getting enough protein in your diet and not getting enough vitamin C.
Fortunately, fine lines are the easiest type of wrinkle to prevent providing you have a good skin care routine and look after your
skin and body well.
They can also be treated quite successfully with some skin care products such as topical vitamin C, or via mechanical means such
as with a dermaroller or with microdermabrasion.
Wrinkles
Wrinkles are a mature version of fine lines that have become wider, deeper and more noticeable with age. Wrinkles make the skin
look old, and most people will start to notice some type of wrinkling by the time they reach their 30s.
Men, however, generally tend to develop wrinkles much later in life than women due to having naturally thicker skin and more
collagen.
Although men have more collagen and elastin in their skin than women, they are not immune to wrinkles.
Although wrinkles occur as a result of the normal aging process due to declining levels of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, how
soon wrinkles appear will largely depend on how well you look after your skin and also on how much unprotected sun exposed
you get.
Once you start to get wrinkles, your skin also starts to sag. Especially in the cheek, jowl and neck areas. This can then cause
further wrinkles to develop as a result of the sagging or lax skin.
With advancing age the loss of elastin causes the skin to sag and droop downwards.
The formation of wrinkles can be greatly delayed by using skin care products. But once wrinkles have formed, they are a lot
harder to get rid of.
As a result, you may require a cosmetic procedure such a dermabrasion, the use of substances such as Botox or dermal fillers,
and/or full plastic surgery in the form of a face lift to make your wrinkles less noticeable.
What Can Cause Wrinkles?
Almost everyone will get wrinkles at some point in their life, the question is, how soon will you get them and how many you will
get?
DermTV – What Causes Wrinkles [DermTV.com Epi #200]
Below you will find listed some of the most common risk factors that can result in premature wrinkling of the skin. The more of
these risk factors you can avoid, and the sooner you avoid them, the better your skin will look later in life.
Typically, you will see the effects of how you treat your skin in about 10 years time. For example, how you treat your skin in your
20s will start to show in your 30s. How you treat your skin in your 30s will start to show in your 40s, and so on.
Having no Skin Care Routine
Look after your skin and it will continue to look good for many more years to come.
This is by far the most important preventative measure that you can take to prevent the onset of premature aging. A good skin
care routine should include cleansing and moisturizing with an occasional exfoliation of the skin 1-3 times a week depending on
your skin type.
Many skincare products now contain anti-aging ingredients, and so if you are not using these on your skin, then your skin is likely
to age faster than someone who does use them.
Your Job
Your job can influence the health of your skin and how it looks and feels. For example, if you spend the majority of the day
outside in the wind, cold or sun, then your skin is likely to age more quickly than someone whose skin is not exposed to such
factors.
However, just because you may be sitting in doors all day doesn’t necessarily mean that your skin is fully protected. Sun
exposure through windows for example, can also age the skin in a similar manner to how it ages your skin when you are
outdoors.
This man is a truck driver. The picture shows how sunlight coming in through the driver side window has aged his skin.
The same effect can occur when you are driving, or when the sun is shining on your skin through any glass. In fact, studies have
found that people who drive regularly tend to age faster on the side of their face by the driver door window.
This is because although windows filter out UVB radiation, they do not filter out UVA radiation. This type of radiation has been
shown to deplete vitamin D levels, promote the onset of skin cancer and increase oxidative stress which then leads to photo
aging (sun aging) of the skin.
Genetics
Genetics play a significant role in how your skin looks and how many wrinkles you develop. A good way to determine what type
of “skin genes” you have is to look at your parents.
Your parents can give you a good indication of how you will age.
If they look old for their age, then you may be more prone to premature aging than other people.
But don’t despair, because their lifestyle also contributed to the appearance of their skin. So it’s important to remember that
genetics are not the only factor that determines how your skin ends up.
Your genetics can also determine when you are likely to show signs of aging. Some people, for example, can start to develop
wrinkles and sagging skin in their 20s, while others may not show any signs of aging until they reach their 50s.
So we each have to live with what we are born with, and fortunately, there are now many products that can help us to effectively
do this.
Bottled Water
The video above shows a news report talking about how drinking bottled water can cause lines and wrinkles around the lips
(smokers lips ).
Pollution
Women who wear foundation tend to be less susceptible to the aging effects of pollution.
Pollution comes from your surrounding environment, and it can be very hard to avoid if you live in a busy city.
Pollution generates free radicals on the surface of the skin, and also free radicals inside the body when you breathe it in. So the
more pollution you are exposed to, the faster your skin will age.
Skin Type
Another thing which can influence how many wrinkles you get, is your skin type. If you have an oily or acne skin type for
example, then your skin is likely to age slower and develop wrinkles later because it is naturally moisturized by sebum or oil.
Some skin types can take more abuse than others.
On the other hand, if you have dry or sensitive skin, then your skin is likely to age more quickly and develop wrinkles sooner
because dry skin tends to crease and crack very easily which makes it very susceptible to the development of premature lines.
Of course, if you keep your skin well moisturized throughout the day, then there is no reason why anyone with a sensitive or dry
skin type should expect to age prematurely.
Lifestyle
The type of lifestyle you live affects the activity and expression of genes that affect the rate at which you age.
In terms of lifestyle, perhaps the two biggest factors that lead to premature skin aging are smoking and unprotected sun
exposure. Both of these can deplete collagen and elastin levels which then leads to fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin.
In addition, smoking cigarettes can cause a dull looking complexion as a result of reduced blood flow to the skin, and sunlight can
cause the appearance of hyperpigmented skin (brown spots/age spots ).
Bad Diet
Sugar causes inflammation in the body which is known to speed up the rate at which a person ages.
Sugar can also decrease the effectiveness of your immune system, cause you to put on excess weight and increase your
susceptibility to disease.
Eating high glycemic foods accelerates the aging process and makes you more vulnerable to suffering from disease.
The more sugar you consume, the sooner you will start to look old. This includes what you would normally think of as sugar (i.e.
white sugar ) in addition to simple carbohydrates such as white flour products.
Another dietary factor that can lead to premature aging, is not eating enough animal fat. People who go on low-fat diets for
example, or who turn vegan or vegetarian, tend to be much more at risk of developing fine lines and wrinkles than those who
consume sufficient amounts of animal fat, or, as an alternative, coconut oil.
Stress
Just like how sugar can create inflammation in the body, speed up aging and increase your susceptibility to disease, so too can
stress.
People who live highly stressed lives age faster than those who don’t.
People who live a very stressful lifestyle tend to age faster than people who live less stressful lifestyles. Furthermore, certain
types of people who are very prone to stress (e.g. Type A personalities ) also tend to die sooner.
Note. If you are stressed, be sure to take brewer’s yeast on a daily basis to replenish your vitamin B levels.
Proven Anti-Aging
Ingredients
There are many different products on the market which promise to reduce the appearance of wrinkles or prevent them from
occurring in the first place.
However, whilst there certainly are products that are effective at combating wrinkles, there are also many other products that
aren’t.
Anti-aging creams can contain many different ingredients, not all of which have been proven to be effective.
Below we look at some well-known ingredients that have been proven to have anti-aging benefits. Although there may be many
other ingredients which manufacturers claim to be beneficial for wrinkles, often these are new and not tested on enough people to
judge how useful they actually are.
So if you are shopping for anti-wrinkle creams or lotions, it’s usually best to stick with the known and effective treatments that
have been proven to be successful and which many people have already benefited from. This way, you will get something that
actually works and avoid wasting your money by needlessly buying junk.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A (retinyl palmate, retinol, Retin-A ) is one of the most commonly used anti-wrinkle ingredients. It can come in a wide
variety of forms, although all are vitamin A or derivates of it.
Vitamin A plays an important role in maintaining healthy skin.
Vitamin A can help to promote skin cell renewal, increase skin turnover and stimulate collagen synthesis. This makes it particularly
beneficial for treating fine lines. For deeper wrinkles, stronger forms of vitamin A, such as Retin-A, can be used to treat
moderately deep wrinkles.
One thing that you should bear in mind when using vitamin A products however, especially the stronger forms like Retin-A, is that
they can enhance the skin’s sensitivity to the sun thereby making it more vulnerable to being burned and aged prematurely.
Stronger forms of vitamin A, such as Retin A, can increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight and so should always be used
alongside a good sunscreen.
So most dermatologists recommend that if you are using strong forms of vitamin A, that you also protect treated areas of skin
with sunscreen when you go outside.
For regular forms of vitamin A (e.g. retinyl palmate) you shouldn’t require sunscreen. But do still pay attention to how your skin
reacts in the sun, such as whether it seems to burn more easily.
Another point worth mentioning about vitamin A, is that it can leave your skin looking red after you have treated it. This redness
will go down in a few hours or overnight, but until it does, you may not want to leave the house unless you are wearing makeup.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs)
Alpha hydroxy acids (citric, glycolic, lactic & tartaric acids ) and beta hydroxy acids (salicylic acid ), are weak acids that dissolve
dead skin cells from the surface layers of the epidermis and promote new skin cell growth underneath.
They are usually found in cleansing and acne products, although they can also be found in lotions and skin creams.
Chemical exfoliants remove the upper most layers of skin to reveal younger and fresher looking skin underneath.
Hydroxy acids are more of a preventative treatment, but in some cases, they can also prove to be effective on immature fine
lines.
To treat deeper fine lines and wrinkles, you will get more benefit from having a chemical peel instead such as with a Jessner’s
Peel, Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) peel or a Croton Oil/Phenol peel.
These are basically a much stronger and deeper acting treatment than that offered by the hydroxy acids, and although they can
produce excellent results, they could leave your face looking very red for a period of up to 14 days.
Vitamin C
Topical vitamin C is perhaps one of the most promising anti-wrinkle treatments available on the market today. And the good
news is that there is actually quite a lot of scientific evidence to back up the claims of its effectiveness.
Scientific studies have shown that topically applied vitamin C can noticeable reduce the signs of facial aging.
Vitamin C works to protect the skin on many levels. The first is that it acts as an antioxidant by protecting the skin from free
radical damage that can cause premature aging of the skin.
Vitamin C also works as a sunscreen, and so it protects your skin from the harmful effects of the sun. But this is only true is you
apply your serum at night. If you apply it during the day, you can actually increase the rate at which the sun ages your skin.
Underneath the skin, vitamin C helps to increase collagen production. The effect of this is to delay the appearance of wrinkles and
reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles.
However, it is important to note that in order to get such skin benefits, vitamin C must be applied topically either in a cream or in
a lotion.
Ingesting vitamin C does have some skin benefits, but these are not the sort of benefits that you are going to notice in terms of
making an improvement in the way that your skin looks.
Furthermore, some forms of vitamin C are better than others. In cheap face creams that contain vitamin C, you will often find
vitamin C as L-ascorbic acid. Similar to what you would buy in vitamin C supplements.
Cheap face creams usually contain the same kind of vitamin C that you would find in supplements. This makes them very
susceptible to oxidation.
The trouble with this form of vitamin C is that it is not very stable because it is prone to oxidation when exposed to light or air. If
you put oxidized vitamin C on your skin, you will increase free radical production and accelerate skin aging.
A far better and much more stable form of vitamin C, is tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate. This is found in the higher end products (e.g.
Medik8 C Tetra & CE Tetra ), but it is something that is definitely worth investing in if you have the money for it.
Note: When using an ascorbic acid based vitamin C cream, it should contain no less than a 10% concentration of vitamin C. When
using other forms of vitamin C, such as tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, a 3-7% concentration is needed.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E (tocopherol acetate ) has similar effects to vitamin C in terms of it acting as an antioxidant, and the two vitamins work
synergistically together as a preventative measure.
Importantly, vitamin E is incorporated into cell membranes which then increases the effectiveness of that membrane from
protecting the internal contents of its cell.
Vitamin E protects cell membranes from free radical damage by acting as an antioxidant.
Vitamin E is often found in sunscreens due to its anti-inflammatory properties, but some studies have shown that vitamin E can
increase the risk of scar formation during wound healing. This is despite the commonly held belief that vitamin E is good for
preventing scars.
Vitamin E is also protective when taken internally as a supplement, so if your face cream doesn’t contain vitamin E then using a
natural mixed tocopherol vitamin E supplement can be just as effective.
Hyaluronic Acid
Many face creams contain hyaluronic acid due to its ability to absorb water and expand which then makes the skin look plump
and full.
Hyaluronic acid creams, however, are largely worthless because the hyaluronic acid molecule is too large to pass through the
skin. As a result, you don’t actually get any benefit from applying hyaluronic acid topically.
A far better way to use hyaluronic acid is to take it internally. The easiest way to do this is to buy hyaluronic acid supplements and
take 100 mg per day. Foods, such as sweet potatoes, can also be eaten to promote the production of hyaluronic acid in the
body.
Eating foods such as sweet potatoes can stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid in the body.
If want something to use on your face, look for a product that contains Phytessence Wakame seaweed (sometimes listed as
Undaria Pinnatifida, Wakame Kelp, Japanese brown sea kelp extract, Fucodian or Fucoxanthin ) as this Japanese sea weed inhibits
hyaluronidase, the enzyme which degrades hyaluronic acid.
For very deep wrinkles, hyaluronic acid can also be used as an effective facial filler (e.g. Juvederm ) by injecting it under the skin.
Green Tea
Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that provides benefit to the skin when applied topically or ingested internally.
Green tea, which contains polyphenols, is a very promising natural anti-aging ingredient upon which a lot of scientific evidence has
begun to build.
It acts as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and seems to be particularly effective at preventing photoaging of the skin (i.e. aging
due to ultraviolet light (UV) exposure ).
Soy Isoflavones
Studies have shown soy isoflavones to be effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines.
Soy isoflavones are phytoestrogens, which means that they mimic the effects of estrogen.
Soy isoflavones, when used internally or externally, have been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and make the skin
feel smoother.
Collagen
Collagen is one of the structural components of your skin. Collagen levels naturally decline with age, and with that decline can
come wrinkled and sagging skin.
Increasing the skin’s level of collagen can therefore help to restore a youthful looking appearance to the face and delay the onset
of many of the visible signs of aging.
As collagen becomes depleted with age wrinkles start to show on the skin.
The trouble is though, that like hyaluronic acid, the collagen molecule is too large to pass through the skin.
So despite collagen being added to many expensive face creams, it serves more of a marketing or selling role rather than offering
any real anti-aging benefits. As a result, buying face creams just because they have collagen in them is largely a waste of your
money.
Where collagen can be useful, however, is when it is injected underneath the skin in the form of a dermal filler. In this case,
collagen can be useful in helping to plump up even quite deep wrinkles.
But since the injected collagen will eventually be broken down by the body, the results won’t be permanent and so you will require
continual treatments if you want to maintain your results.
Collagen injections can be used to make the lips look fuller.
Collagen can also be taken via supplements in the form of hydrolyzed collagen, but there are mixed reports about how effective
the ingestion of collagen supplements really is.
Alternatively, bone broth soup made from chicken or beef bones can be used as a rich natural source of collagen in addition to
hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulphate/sulfate and a broad spectrum of minerals.
Choosing the Right Face
Cream
Many people look for the perfect moisturizer based on what they see on TV, in magazines or what their friends use.
But the truth is, there is no such thing as the “perfect moisturizer” that will work wonders for everyone, because we all have a
slightly different type of skin and so different moisturizers will work differently for different people.
You don’t have to spend lots of money to get a good face cream, as some of the cheaper products can be just as good if not
better.
As a result, a good facial moisturizer is one that works in harmony with your skin. One that will keep it moist, dewy and protected
throughout the day. When you have used the right moisturizer, your skin will feel hydrated and not tight or dry.
A bad face cream is one that contains ingredients which don’t work in harmony with your skin. The effects of this disharmony can
cause your skin to become inflamed, develop a rash, become irritated or appear red. All of these are signs that you are using a
moisturizer which doesn’t agree with your skin type.
A good moisturizer will make your skin feel good when you use it.
You may, however, get none of these symptoms. But instead your face will just look or feel wrong. For example, if you have oily
skin and use a dry skin moisturizer, then your face is likely to appear very oily and greasy.
Or, if you use a sensitive skin moisturizer on dry skin, then your face will not be hydrated enough and is likely to dry out and crack
throughout the day.
Types of Skin Creams
Choose a face cream that meets your specific needs and requirements.
Generally speaking, there are three main types of skin moisturizers: lightweight lotions, heavy moisturizers and cosmeceutical
creams.
Lightweight day lotions
Lightweight lotions are designed to be worn during the day, and usually contain humectants such as hyaluronic acid, glycerin, urea
or sorbitol to help lock moisture into the skin.
Lightweight lotions are ideal because they are easy to apply and are quickly absorbed into the skin. This makes them perfect for
daytime use.
Heavy night creams
A heavy moisturizer usually contains ingredients such as petrolatum, mineral oil, shea butter or cetyl alcohol to soften the skin
and form a protective layer over it.
Heavy moisturizers are usually used at night, such as night creams. These are generally very thick and are slow to be absorbed
into the skin. They also tend to be quite greasy, so they are best applied the hour before you go to bed.
You can get away with using a thicker moisturizer at night as you won’t have to worry about your face looking greasy.
Heavy face creams may be required for people with a very dry skin type, as this type of skin requires lots of moisturizing. They
may also be required if you live in very cold areas or by the coast.
Cosmeceutical face creams
Cosmeceutical face creams can contain vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. They are designed to hydrate your skin, give it some
protection and enhance it in some way.
For example, some face creams will come with co-enzyme Q10 or DMAE to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and firm
up your skin.
Can Your Diet Help to
Prevent Wrinkles?
The most successful approach to tackling a problem is to approach it from multiple angles, and when it comes to delaying the
appearance of wrinkles or preventing them from occurring in the first place, this is indeed the best strategy to adopt.
The food you eat determines the health and appearance of your skin.
The reason for this is simple. The health of your skin can not only be affected by what you put on it, but also by what you put in
your body.
As a result, the types of food you eat and your overall general diet, can play a big role in determining how healthy your skin will
look both now and in the future.
So just how does diet affect your skin? Keep on reading to find out!
Vitamin C Foods
It can be difficult to get the amount of vitamin C you need from food alone, so you might want to consider taking supplements.
Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen, without which, the underlying supportive structure of your skin will begin to
fall apart. The result? Wrinkles and sagging skin!
Vitamin C can be found in most fruits such as oranges, lemons and berries, although it can also be found in vegetables such as
broccoli, kale and collard greens.
Try to get some amount of vitamin C into your diet every day. If you can’t manage to do so via food, use a supplement instead.
Lysine & Proline
Lysine, proline and vitamin C is one of the most powerful anti-aging combinations you can take.
In addition to vitamin C, it is also important to eat foods containing the amino acids lysine and proline, because these, along with
vitamin C, are what the body uses to make collagen.
Lysine and proline can be found in meat and grains, but the best way to ensure that you are getting adequate amounts is through
supplementation.
Vitamin A Foods
Cod liver oil is a simple and effective way of ensuring that you get enough vitamin A each day.
Another vitamin which is essential to include in your diet is vitamin A. This vitamin helps to keep your skin moist, and plays an
important role in maintaining the health of your mucous membranes which in turn helps to make you more resistant to infections.
Good sources of vitamin A are organ meats such as liver, fish such as sardines or oils such as cod liver oil. You can also get
vitamin A precursors (e.g. beta carotene ) from vegetables such as carrots, but not everyone is able to benefit from this
particular type of vitamin A. So if you can, try to get your vitamin A from meat, fish and eggs.
Fat
Fat is essential for the proper functioning of the body. The brain for example, is largely made up of fat, and when a person doesn’t
get enough fat in their diet, such as because they are on a low-fat diet, they stand an elevated risk of suffering from depression.
People who don’t consume enough fat are much more susceptible to premature aging of the skin.
Fat is also important for maintaining skin, and without adequate amounts of fat your skin will be much more prone to drying out,
cracking and wrinkling.
One of the reasons why fats are important for your skin, is because the fats that you eat are incorporated into the outside
coating of a cell, the cell membrane.
Since cell membranes protect cells from damage, such as free radical induced damaged, you want this protective layer to be as
strong as possible.
What Causes Wrinkles? And The Diet That Causes Wrinkles
Certain fats, such as coconut oil or butter, are predominantly made up of saturated fats which makes them highly stable and
heat-resistant.
When saturated fats are incorporated into the membranes of your cells, they form a very strong protective layer around a cell
because they are also very resistant to free radical damage.
Polyunsaturated fats however, such as sunflower oil or canola oil, are very unstable and heat liable. As a result, they tend to go
off quickly, especially when they are exposed to heat, light or air.
When these fats are incorporated into your cell membranes, they are much less protective against free radical damage thereby
making you more vulnerable to disease and premature aging.
Polyunsaturated fats, such as sunflower oil, oxidize very easily and so provide little protection to your cells.
So although saturated fats have gained a very bad reputation due to their association with heart disease, it is important not to
avoid saturated fats entirely because they are the best type of fat to consume if you want to remain looking young and youthful
for as long as possible.
In terms of what is best for your skin: saturated fat, then monounsaturated fat (e.g. olive oil ) and then polyunsaturated fat.
Sugar
Another hugely significant factor in determining the health of your skin, is the glycemic index and glycemic load of the foods you
eat.
Without going into too much detail, these terms describe what type of insulin reaction your body produces to control blood sugar
levels after eating a food.
Sugar accelerates the aging process and makes you more susceptible to disease.
Why this is important is because high glycemic foods, such as sugar, white flour, refined carbohydrates or basically any type of
junk food, cause a huge insulin spike in the body which subsequently causes inflammation.
This in turn can have a negative effect on your health such as by increasing your risk of diabetes, obesity and accelerating the rate
at which you age.
Ideally, you want to avoid high glycemic foods as much as possible and limit yourself to eating only low carbohydrate foods such
as green vegetables in addition to adequate amounts of fat and meat.
SUGAR & WRINKLES
If you do consume sugar regularly, even natural sugars such as from fruits or fruit juices, then you may want to consider taking
curcumin (Turmeric ) supplements as this Indian spice has excellent anti-inflammatory properties.
Water
The body is largely made up of water, and when the body starts to become dehydrated, it conserves water so that your essential
organs can still function.
This, however, comes at the expense of your skin, because keeping your skin moist is not immediately vital to survival.
People who keep their skin hydrated throughout the day tend to be less susceptible to developing wrinkles.
One of the most obvious effects of dehydration are dry, flaky and cracked lips. When this happens to the skin on your face, you
put yourself at a much greater risk of developing fine lines and wrinkles prematurely.
Fortunately, premature wrinkles due to dehydration are relatively easy to control and prevent. All you have to do is make sure
that you drink enough water throughout the day and avoid drinking too many beverages that dehydrate you (i.e. diuretics ).
Studies have shown that people who drink plenty of water throughout the day tend to develop less wrinkles than those who
don’t. So make sure that you don’t miss out on this simple and natural way to keep your skin looking at its best.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is one of the best things that you can take for your skin.
We have already discussed hyaluronic acid previously in this article, but because it seems to be so important for maintaining
youthful and wrinkle free skin, we will briefly mention it again here.
People who’s diet is rich is hyaluronic acid stimulating foods tend to have much younger looking skin than those who don’t. The
following video provides some interesting information about this:
Fountain Of Youth
The best way to naturally increase hyaluronic acid levels in the body is by eating sweet potatoes or by consuming a cartilage rich
bone broth soup.
Omega Fatty Acids
Omega fatty acids, such as omega 3 and omega 6, are classed as essential fatty acids. This means that the body cannot naturally
produce these fats, and so you must acquire them from your diet.
Because they are essential, omega 3 fatty acids need to be consumed on a regular basis to ensure that the body and brain
remain healthy.
What we are really interested in is omega 3, because this seems to be very beneficial for promoting moist and smooth skin. Most
people do not get enough omega 3, and tend to have too much omega 6 which is known to be inflammatory when consumed,
especially when it has been heated.
Omega 3 can be found in oily fish such as sardines, in seeds such as flax seeds and in nuts such as walnut in significant amounts.
Be careful though of eating foods which are advertised as being “enriched” with omega 3, because omega 3, being a
polyunsaturated fatty acid, is not very stable when exposed to heat, light or air.
Sardines are a tasty and inexpensive source of omega 3.
As a result, a lot of foods which have omega 3 added to them contain rancid omega 3, which is obviously not what you want to
be consuming.
This also seems to be a problem with some fish oil supplements. So far, the best source of omega 3 that I have discovered is a
supplement called Vectomega.
Finally, you do not want to consume too much omega 3, because this fat can suppress the immune system and make you more
vulnerable to disease.
How to Prevent & Treat
Wrinkles
Now that you have seen how important your diet is for maintaining healthy skin, below we look at some of the best ways that
you can prevent or delay the appearance of wrinkles.
Anti-Wrinkle Creams
Be careful of using products endorsed by celebrities as you never know what other “treatments” they have had done.
Keeping your face moist is absolutely essential when it comes to delaying the signs of facial aging. However, there are now many
moisturizers on the market that also contain anti-aging ingredients such as co-enzyme Q10, retinol, green tea, vitamin E and
vitamin C.
Since you will be moisturizing your face on a daily basis anyway, it makes sense to choose a product containing one or more of
these ingredients.
This way, you will be keeping your skin moist, whilst also protecting it from free radical damage that can produce the visible signs
of aging.
Natural Oils
If you don’t like the idea of using man-made products, or you simply find them too expensive, a great natural alternative is to use
oils such as coconut oil or emu oil.
Coconut oil, for example, is very rich in saturated fat and provides your skin with excellent protection against aging due to its
highly stable nature.
The high saturated fat content of coconut oil makes it an extremely powerful anti-aging moisturizer.
Emu oil can be absorbed very deeply into the skin which makes it extremely moisturizing. It also has anti-inflammatory properties
which can help to slow down the aging process and it also stimulates collagen production.
You should however, try to avoid using polyunsaturated oils, because as we talked about earlier, these oils tend to be quite
unstable and so could actually end up accelerating the aging process.
Exercise
Moderate exercise is very beneficial for the skin because it improves blood flow around the body. Blood is what carries oxygen
and nutrients to your cells, so the better your blood circulation is the healthier your skin will become.
Exercise improves the radiance and complexion of your skin due to its beneficial effects on blood circulation.
Poor blood circulation, such as that caused by a lack of exercise or by smoking, can lead to a dull looking complexion,
inflammation as a result of cellular waste accumulation and eventually, sagging skin and wrinkles.
Even if you don’t join a gym, just walking for a few hours spread across the course of a week can be very beneficial to your skin
and overall level of health. So try to do some form of physical activity whenever you have the opportunity to do so.
Face Exercises
People who do face exercises usually notice an improvement in the way they look within a few months.
Face exercise, also called face yoga or facial exercise, is a type of exercise that increases the strength of the facial muscles whilst
also stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Face exercises can be done with your hands or with special equipment to make the muscles of the face stronger. You can find out
more information about how to do face exercises here.
Dermaroller
I have one these. It’s really not that bad once you get used to it.
A dermaroller, also called a skin needling roller or a collagen induction system, is a small cosmetic device that contains very fine
needles on a roller. It can be done at home by yourself, or professionally in a clinic or beauty salon by a dermatologist or plastic
surgeon.
When the dermaroller is applied to the skin, it makes tiny puncture holes that stretch through the epidermal layers, and
sometimes, into the uppermost dermis layer. The effect of this is to wound the skin, so that when it starts to heal itself it will also
produce more collagen.
Furthermore, as a result of the tiny holes created by the dermaroller, any anti-aging skin care products that you use will be better
absorbed into the skin due to increased transdermal absorption.
Derma Roller V2.wmv
Micro needling, or skin needling, has been shown to be a very inexpensive and minimally invasive procedure that can be beneficial
for treating not just fine lines and wrinkles, but also hair loss, scars, stretch marks, pigmented and sun damaged skin.
Note. In order for collagen induction to occur, a dermaroller with a needle length of at least 0.5 mm is needed. Anything below
this length will not provide any significant anti-aging benefits.
Skin Resurfacing Treatments
Skin resurfacing treatments are classed as a non surgical cosmetic treatment. They work by removing the upper most layers of
the skin, which then reveals new skin underneath whilst also stimulating collagen production.
Skin resurfacing treatments, such as microdermabrasion in the picture above, provide a much deeper exfoliation than what you
would be able to do by yourself.
Skin resurfacing treatments are most effective for mature skin, although depending on the type of treatment that you undergo,
they can be used for anything from very fine lines to moderately deep wrinkles.
Some of the most popular skin resurfacing treatments include:
Microdermabrasion. A small device is used to blast mineral crystals at high-speed onto the surface of your skin. This is similar to
having a deep exfoliation and is largely pain-free.
Laser Skin Resurfacing. A more drastic treatment that uses a high-powered laser to essentially burn off the uppermost layers of
your skin. It leaves your face looking very red and feeling very tender after the treatment, but it can work wonders for erasing
fine lines and wrinkles.
Thermage. Unlike the previous two treatments, Thermage works by heating the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate the
production of connective tissue. This produces a mild skin tightening effect.
Chemical Peels. Chemical peels come in a variety of strengths ranging from relatively weak, such as alpha hydroxy acid or
Jessner’s peel treatments, to very strong, such as TCA peels or croton oil/phenol peels. The effect is similar to mechanical
exfoliation of the skin, except that chemicals are used for the exfoliation process.
Botox
Botox is a favorite amongst celebrities due to its age-defying effects.
One of the most popular cosmetic treatments amongst women, and increasingly so amongst men, Botox uses a purified protein
derived from a toxin to paralyze certain muscles of the face. The result is increased skin tightness and firming, and a reduction in
the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
If Botox is administered incorrectly however, it can leave you unable to form normal facial expressions or leave you, temporarily,
with an abnormal facial expression.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injected underneath the skin to raise areas of depression. Dermal fillers are most suitable for deep scars and
deep wrinkles, but the results they produce are not permanent and so repeated treatments are required if you wish to maintain
your results.
Dermal fillers provide a very effective, albeit short-lived, treatment for reversing the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the face.
At present, they are probably the most effective treatment currently available for treating mature or heavily wrinkled skin.
Some of the most popular dermal fillers include collagen injections, Juvederm/Restylane injections (hyaluronic acid ), Sculptra
injections (poly-l-lactic acid ) and Radiesse/Radiance injections (calcium hydroxyapatite ).
Face Lift Surgery
A face lift involves surgically removing excess skin from the face to tighten either specific regions or the whole of the face.
Contrary to popular belief however, a face lift is not designed to treat wrinkles.
A face lift will make it less likely for you to develop wrinkles in the future, but it won’t do much for your existing wrinkles.
A face lift can help to reduce the appearance of existing wrinkles, but it will not make them disappear completely. It will, however,
tighten up the skin which can help to reduce the formation of new wrinkles.
So it is not uncommon for people to undergo a face lift, and then later undergo a skin resurfacing treatment to more specifically
target problem areas.
Sleep Well
If you aren’t getting enough sleep it will show up on your face.
A lack of sleep can leave your face looking tired, puffy and create bags under the eyes. This can then lead to wrinkles around the
eyes as a result of a saggy/droopy upper or lower eyelid.
The most common cause of a lack of sleep is insomnia. You can read more about ways to combat insomnia here.
Sleep Positioning: Can This Cause Wrinkles To Form? – Dr. Heck
Sleeping on your face can also cause wrinkles (sleep wrinkles ) as a result of your skin being stretched and twisted as you sleep.
One way to prevent this from occurring is to use a very soft pillow case, such as one made from silk. Alternatively, you can try
sleeping on your back.
Skin Care Habits
Makeup that is left on the face, especially overnight, can block pores, cause inflammation and accelerate skin aging. As a result,
you should always ensure that your face has been properly cleaned before you go to bed, and never sleep with an unwashed
face.
Not removing makeup before bed can lead to premature aging of the skin.
The same applies in the morning. The face should be washed properly and all makeup should be removed before applying anything
else.
For most women, the use of a cleanser on a cotton pad should be adequate for removing makeup. But if you tend to apply a lot
of makeup, then you would probably benefit from using a makeup remover as a simple cleanser is unlikely to be strong enough.
Sensible Sun Exposure
The sun is known to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, causes of skin aging. Over exposure to the sun can cause the skin
to develop brown spots, wrinkles and even cause it to sag.
It takes about a decade before you are able to see the effects of sun damage with the naked eye.
The effects of sun damage however, don’t show up until about 10 years later. As a result, it can be quite difficult when you are
young to fully appreciate just how damaging the sun can be to your skin.
Most people though, know that the sun is something they should be careful of if they want to maintain a youthful look for as long
as possible, so fortunately, more and more people are now limiting their exposure to the sun or wearing sunscreen.
This, however, raises several issues. Some of which we shall discuss next:
Sunscreen
Applying sunscreen should be the final step of your skin care routine, coming after cleansing, toning and then moisturizing.
Sunscreen should be applied in the morning and also during the day, especially if you will be staying out in the sun for long periods
of time.
How to Apply Sunscreen
Close your eyes, hold your breath and don’t move!
It is best to use a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or higher, and this level of protection can usually be found in
most good moisturizers or foundations. If not, you can just apply sunscreen over your regular face moisturizer.
Remember to cover all exposed areas of skin, such as your hands and neck, and not just your face. Even when you won’t be
outside for very long.
This is because around 80% of sun exposure comes from incidental light, such as light through windows when you are working,
driving your car or shopping.
DermTV – How to Properly Apply Sunscreen [DermTV.Com Epi #011]
There are two basic kinds of sunscreens: chemical sunscreens and barrier sunscreens.
Chemical Sunscreens
Chemical sunscreens are a cheap and easy way to protect yourself from the sun.
Chemical sunscreens are slowly absorbed into the skin over a period of several hours, after which, they then need to be reapplied.
This is best done at the beginning of the afternoon when the sun starts to get hot.
Chemical sunscreens protect your skin by allowing the sun to reach your skin, but then using chemicals to prevent penetration
and sun damage.
Barrier Sunscreens
Sunblocks provide a protective barrier to stop the sun from penetrating your skin.
Barrier sunscreens, also called sunblocks, usually contain either zinc oxide or titanium dioxide as their main ingredient.
Sunblocks work differently to sunscreens as they sit on the surface of the skin and form a physical barrier which prevents the
sun’s rays from reaching the skin.
Sunblocks last longer than sunscreens because they are not absorbed into the skin. This means that under normal conditions you
should only need to apply them once a day.
Staying safe in the sun
Whilst wearing sunscreen or sunblock is important to protect your skin from sun damage and premature aging, not all skin
products are created equal.
Some researchers for example, have suggested that the chemicals found in sunscreens can actually cause skin cancer, and that
absorbing these chemicals can also cause various health problems in the body.
Staying safe in the sun means using a safe product to protect your skin with.
So to stay safe, make sure that your sun skin product is labeled as paraben/PABA free, and offers you both UVA and UVB
protection.
Generally speaking, barrier sunblocks are considered to be safer than sunscreens as they contain less chemicals. The only
disadvantage with sunblocks, such as those which contain zinc oxide, is that they may leave a whitish residue on the face. But if
this has been mixed in with foundation (mineral makeup ), or a bronzer, then you won’t notice it.
Vitamin D
The sun is a very important source of vitamin D production in the body. So whilst you don’t want to burn yourself in the sun, you
do want to get some amount of unprotected sun exposure so that your body will be stimulated to produce vitamin D.
Vitamin D has many benefits, and some scientists believe that it could help to reduce your risk of disease and even make you live
longer.
Tips for using sunscreen
• Apply 20 minutes before leaving the house and then again after every 30-60 minutes of sun exposure.
• Reapply after you have been swimming or sweating and then dried yourself off with a towel.
• Waterproof sunscreens should be reapplied every 80 minutes, and water-resistant sunscreens should be reapplied every 40
minutes.
• Sun related skin cancers are common on the nose, so make sure that you apply extra protection there.
• Throw away sunscreen that has passed its expiration date because it will have lost its sun protecting properties.

Neck Wrinkles
Causes: Smoking,
Aging and More
Wrinkles on a person’s neck are a huge giveaway of a person’s true age. In many situations proper neck skin care is ignored,
leaving the skin vulnerable to environmental conditions that can cause severed and in some cases irreversible damage and
wrinkles. Understanding the top causes of neck wrinkles can help you to take steps to eliminate them, which will then reduce the
chances of you developing any type of neck wrinkle. Use the following information to determine what you can do to reduce the
chances of the appearance of neck wrinkles.
Smoking
Smoking, especially for extended periods of time, can dramatically increase the chance of neck wrinkles appearing. The fact is that
those who smoke for long periods of time will actually have necks occur much sooner than they would naturally. However,
wrinkles caused by smoking are not only seen on the neck, and the effects of smoking can actually ravage your entire body. The
only way that you can prevent the damage that is caused by the toxins and chemicals that are found in cigars and cigarettes is
to quit.
Pollution
Air pollution can have a significant impact on the aging of your skin. You need to be sure that you wash your face every night in
order to ensure that the environmental pollutants do not sit on your skin for extended periods of time. Since the pollutants will
decrease the atmospheres protective layer of ozone, as well, you need to ensure that you use a daily antioxidant serum. The
fact is that sun is one of the leading causes of wrinkles, which is why it is important to protect and cleanse your skin to prevent
any serious effects from environmental factors such as pollution and excessive sunlight.
Aging
There is no way to stop time; however, that does not mean that you have to accept what you are dealt. You can prevent
sagging skin that is the result of a loss of elastin and collage by using anti-aging wrinkle face creams on your neck, as well
other as anti-aging skin care products each time you apply them to your face. This does not just apply to creams, but face
masks, cleansers and exfoliates should also be used on your neck just as you would your face to reduce the chance of neck
wrinkles occurring.
Family History
If you do not have a family history related to neck wrinkles, you can hope that you will have great skin on the neck. However,
this is not a guarantee that neck wrinkles will not appear, as there are many other causes of the unsightly skin blemishes.
Exposure to harsh weather, UV rays, poor posture and poor care to the neck skin can all lead to significant skin wrinkles.
Therefore, while family history may contribute to a more severe case of neck wrinkles, lack of neck wrinkles in your family history
does not guarantee that you will not be plagued by them.
Stress on Neck
Your neck is constantly working to support your head and keep it in an upright position. Due to the actual weight of your head
and the fact that you are constantly moving it in a back and forth motion, the neck is experiencing constant stress. Additionally,
the law of gravity applies to this problem. The extra and excessive stress that is on the neck can result in the sagging or pulling
down of the skin on the neck. As you age the loss of collagen and elasticity will further hurt your chances of having tight and taunt
neck skin. The wrinkles that are present on the neck will add a number of year to your appearance, however can be prevented
with massage and proper neck care.
Abnormal Weight
There are many times when a person may gain or lose weight, which will cause the skin to find it difficult to “bounce” back from
the fluctuation pounds. If you want to achieve firm skin on your neck, you must commit to a lifestyle change. This includes
healthy meals that will fill you up and that contain fresh fruits and also green vegetables. These foods will help you maintain a
healthy weight and provide detoxifying antioxidants that will help to keep the skin hydrated.
Wrong Habits
If you have irregular sleeping habits or types of occupational habits that provide adverse effects to your skin, you may notice
neck wrinkles much sooner than you would with the natural aging process. If your skin becomes dehydrated or even too moist,
or if it is exposed to the sun for extended periods of time it can cause neck wrinkles. If you are going to be in conditions such as
these, you should take steps to protect your sensitive neck skin and help to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and lines.
Imbalanced Diet
An imbalanced diet can actually negatively affect the skin that is on your neck, as well as other areas of your body. When you
have a vitamin deficiency, especially a vitamin E deficiency, it can result in wrinkles appearing on the neck at an early age. You
should be sure to consume a balanced diet each day to help and prevent wrinkles on the neck .
The fact is that the skin is a window to your real age. If it is neglected or not cared for properly, wrinkles will appear. Neck
wrinkles can be enhanced by poor habits such as smoking and exposure to sun as well as other factors such as a fluctuating
weight or a family history of neck wrinkles. In order to prevent these wrinkles you must eliminate bad habits and ensure that you
follow proper care for the sensitive skin on your neck. Remember it is never too late to start a proper regimen of neck care. While
there is no magic solution or cream for the wrinkles that are bound to appear on your skin, you can take steps now to eliminate
and reduce the chances of the wrinkles occurring at an early age.

What are
Wrinkles?
Wrinkles are creases, folds, or ridges in the skin. They normally appear as people get older, but they can also develop
after spending a long time in water.
The first wrinkles to appear on a person's face tend to occur as a result of facial expressions.
Sun damage, smoking, dehydration. some medications, and environmental and genetic factors affect when and where people will
develop wrinkles.
Most wrinkles tend to appear in the parts of the body which receive the most sun exposure, especially the face and neck, the
back of the hands, and the arms.
Most people do not welcome wrinkles, and billions of dollars are spent globally on treatments to remove or delay them.
Some of these therapies make great claims but have no effect, while others may have moderate, significant, or very considerable
success.
Contents of this article:
What causes wrinkles?
Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. As people get older, their skin gets thinner, drier, and less elastic, and less able to
protect itself from damage. This leads to wrinkles, creases, and lines on the skin.
Environmental factors such as smoking can accelerate the development of wrinkles.
Facial expressions, for example, repeatedly smiling, frowning, or squinting can lead to fine lines and wrinkles at a younger age.
According to the Mayo Clinic. each time a person uses a facial muscle, a groove forms under the surface of the skin.
When a person is young, the skin springs back, but as they get older, the skin loses its flexibility. Springing back becomes harder
and less frequent, resulting in more permanent grooves.
A number of avoidable, environmental factors also contribute.
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. for example, through sunbathing, tanning booths, and outdoor sports increases the chance of
developing wrinkles earlier.
UV light breaks down the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. These fibers form the skin's connective tissue. They are located
under the surface of the skin, and they support the skin. Breaking down this layer causes the skin to become weaker and less
flexible. The skin starts to droop, and wrinkles appear.
Clothes that cover the body, such as hats and long sleeves, may delay the development of wrinkles.
People who work in the sunlight have a higher chance of early wrinkles. Jobs that involve this type of exposure include fishing and
farming. Sailors, golfers, beach lifeguards, and gardeners may also be more prone to skin aging.
Regular smoking accelerates the aging process of skin, because of the reduced blood supply to the skin. Alcohol dehydrates the
skin, and dry skin is more likely to wrinkle.
What are the treatment
options for wrinkles?
The two main types of wrinkles are surface lines and deep furrows.
Most basic wrinkle treatments, if they have any effect, tend to help reduce the fine lines. For deeper creases, there are more
aggressive techniques, such as plastic surgery or injections of fillers.
Medications
Topical retinoids are derived from vitamin A, and they are said to reduce fine wrinkles, some pigmentations, and skin roughness.
This type of medication can make it easier for the skin to burn sunlight, so the patient needs to use it with a skin-care program to
protect the skin. Possible adverse effects include dryness, itching, a burning sensation, tingling, and redness.
Over-the-counter (OTC) wrinkle creams vary considerably in active ingredients and therefore, also, in effectiveness.
Slight to modest results may sometimes be obtained from retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, kinetin, coenzyme Q10, copper peptides,
and antioxidants. The active ingredient concentration in an OTC wrinkle cream will be significantly lower than a prescription one.
In most cases, if there are results, they do not usually last long.
Cosmetic surgery and other
medical procedures
A number of surgical options are available.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a surgical procedure that involves the controlled wearing away, or abrasion, of the upper layers of skin with
sandpaper or some other mechanical means.
Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but treatments like Botox can put them off for a while.
Dermabrasion is used to remove fine wrinkles, tattoos, nevi, or moles, acne scars, and other types of scar.
It may cause scabbing, swelling, and redness. These generally fade after 2 weeks, but some pinkness may remain for several
months. The desired results are not immediate, and may take several months.
Microdermabrasion uses a powerful vacuum to spray microcrystals of aluminum oxide across the surface of the skin. The
procedure removes the outermost layers of skin cells, and it stimulates cell growth in the underlying layers of skin.
This type of treatment is said to help give a fresher and smoother appearance to the skin, as well as diminishing the appearance
of lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, coarse skin, and sun damage. The patient may have slight redness in the areas of treated
skin.
Repeated treatments are required because results are temporary.
Laser therapy
Laser, light source, and radiofrequency (RF) treatments destroy the outer layer of skin with a laser beam, while the dermis, or
underlying skin, is heated up. This stimulates the development of new collagen fibers.
In 2013, a study reported over 90 percent satisfaction one month after undergoing RF, and up to 75 percent satisfaction after 6
months, but the researchers called for further investigations into safety and effectiveness.
When the wound heals, the new skin is smoother and tighter, but ablative laser resurfacing can take several months to heal.
Newer therapies using laser technology may heal more quickly.
Non-ablative lasers, radiofrequency devices and pulsed light sources do not damage the epidermis. The underlying skin is heated,
triggering the formation of new collagen and elastin.
The skin feels firmer and appears refreshed after several treatments, and recovery times are faster, but more treatments are
needed and results are more subtle.
Botox
Botulinum toxin type A, commonly known as Botox, blocks the chemical signals that cause muscles to contract. It is used to
treat a number of medical conditions, as well as wrinkles.
It is injected in small doses into targeted muscles. If the muscles can no longer tighten, the skin flattens, giving a less wrinkled and
smoother appearance.
Botox can decrease the lines on the forehead, the frown lines between the eyes, and "crow's feet," around the corners of the
eyes.
Treatments generally last 3 months. so repeated injections are needed.
Chemical peels
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to wrinkly areas, causing the dead skin to shed and eventually peel off. The
regenerated skin tends to be smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.
Some types of chemical peels can be bought and used without a medical license, but it is advisable to consult a medical health
care professional for the treatment.
Facelift
A facelift. also known as a rhytidectomy. is a type of cosmetic surgery that aims to make people look younger. It usually involves
removing excess facial skin and fat, with or without tightening the underlying tissues.
The skin of the face, neck, or both is redraped. Research suggests that after 5 1/2 years, a facelift is still effective, but that the
neck starts to relapse. Healing times may be lengthy, and the patient will experience bruising and swelling for a few weeks after
surgery.
Fillers
Soft tissue fillers include collagen, hyaluronic acid, or fat. They are injected into deeper face wrinkles, plumping and smoothing
them out and giving the skin more volume.
Patients may sometimes experience swelling, redness, and bruising in the treated areas for a short period. As with Botox
treatment, for lasting results, the treatments will need to be repeated every few months.
The results are dependent on several factors, including where the wrinkles are and their depth.
Preventing wrinkles and
lines
Aging is a natural process, and eventually, everybody has wrinkles and lines that become more prominent over time.
Moisturizing creams may help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
The following steps may help slow the process down:
Avoiding excessive sun exposure reduces skin damage, because the sun causes the skin to age faster. Hats, protective clothing,
and sun screens can protect the skin from wrinkles by reducing sunlight damage.
Zero exposure to sunlight totally is not recommended, however, because it is a vital source of vitamin D. and vitamin D is
essential for bone strength and other aspects of health. Some sunscreens can protect the skin while allowing vitamin D to be
synthesized.
Moisturizers do not prevent wrinkles, but they may help temporarily make tiny lines and creases less evident.
Quitting smoking can prevent the accelerated aging of skin. Even a long-term heavy smoker can slow down the process by giving
up.
Avoid alcohol because it dehydrates the body and the skin.
Sleeping at least 7 hours a night, eating healthily and exercising regularly help to maintain overall health, and this may include skin
quality, although this has not been extensively proven by research.

Stress Q&A by
Dr. Stöppler
There has been a longstanding belief that chronic stress causes people to appear older, but most of the evidence to support
this fact has been anecdotal (based upon people's perceptions and observations) rather than scientifically validated.
However, a small but significant study in 2004 showed the first link between chronic stress and aging. This study showed
that telomeres (structures at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with aging) also shorten prematurely in people
experiencing long-term psychological stress, in effect, prematurely "aging" the cells. Since then, subsequent studies have
confirmed the finding that shortened telomeres are associated with psychological stress.
While these results support a link between stress and cellular aging, the exact relationship of stress on aging is complex and
isn't yet fully understood. However, stress certainly can have negative effects on physical and emotional health. Anyone
concerned about developing wrinkles or other signs of aging would certainly be advised to practice a healthy lifestyle, which
would include keeping stress levels under control.

Why your face
ages and what
you can do
Get your copy of Skin Care and Repair
New information on treatments for both medical skin conditions and cosmetic problems is available in this updated Special
Health Report on Skin Care and Repair. This report describes scientifically approved treatments for common medical
conditions from acne to rosacea, as well as the newest cosmetic procedures for lines, wrinkles, age spots and other
problems. An explanation of the ingredients in popular skin lotions and cosmeceuticals is also included.
Age affects every nook and cranny of the body. Along with the wisdom, experience, and accomplishments that come with
getting older, there are changes that occur in our outward appearance. Changes in our faces are most at the forefront.
Dozens of changes take place as the years add up, some of them obvious and familiar:
Foreheads expand as hairlines retreat
Ears often get a bit longer because the
cartilage in them grows
Tips of noses may droop because
connective tissue supporting nasal
cartilage weakens.
There are also structural rearrangements going on behind the scenes. When we're young, fat in the face is evenly
distributed, with some pockets here and there that plump up the forehead, temples, cheeks, and areas around the eyes and
mouth. With age, that fat loses volume, clumps up, and shifts downward, so features that were formerly round may sink,
and skin that was smooth and tight gets loose and sags. Meanwhile other parts of the face gain fat, particularly the lower
half, so we tend to get baggy around the chin and jowly in the neck.
And, of course, there are the wrinkles. Those deep ones in the forehead and between the eyebrows are called expression, or
animation, lines. They're the result of facial muscles continually tugging on, and eventually creasing, the skin. Other folds
may get deeper because of the way fat decreases and moves around. Finer wrinkles are due to sun damage, smoking, and
natural degeneration of elements of the skin that keep it thick and supple.
Choosing how to age
gracefully
Even if you have great genes and look much younger than you are, age-related changes in our facial appearance are
unavoidable. Those changes reflect our joys and challenges in life. One approach is to simply celebrate our age and
appearance for what they are.
Not everyone is comfortable with that, and some might like to postpone embracing those changes. The age-defying facelift,
which surgically removes excess tissue and lifts sagging skin in the lower part of the face, is one way to try to stem the tides
of time. Facelifts have improved, so the results tend to look more natural. But the surgery is expensive (the surgeon's fee
alone is just under $7,000, on average), and other procedures may be needed to achieve the desired results. The facelift
procedure is only the 20th most popular cosmetic procedure, and now there are plenty of alternatives for altering the aging
face.
Although most of these rejuvenating procedures are nonsurgical, they're not inexpensive — especially when you factor in the
need for repeat treatments.
Here is just a sample of some of the things that you can do — or get done — to give your face a more youthful
appearance:
Sun protection. Protecting your face from the sun is the single best way of keeping it youthful. Much of the damage comes
from the UVA part of the light spectrum, so you need to put on sunscreen that protects against it and UVB light, which
causes sunburn. Wearing a wide-brimmed hat is also a good idea.
Creams and lotions. Moisturizers soothe dry skin and may temporarily make wrinkles less noticeable. Moisturizers for the
face contain water to make them less greasy, and many have substances — glycerin, for example — that may help bind
water to the skin. Exfoliant creams can improve the appearance of older skin by getting rid of dead skin cells that don't
slough off as readily as they did when we were young.
Several prescription creams (Avita, Avage, Renova, Retin-A) have been shown to reduce wrinkles and so-called liver spots
caused by sun exposure. These FDA-approved creams contain retinoids, compounds related to vitamin A that seem to work
by inducing collagen production in the dermis and altering melanin, the pigment that causes liver spots. There are several
varieties of retinoids. Tazarotene and tretinoin are the ones used in the FDA-approved products.
Botulinum toxin injections. These injections are used to treat the expression lines of the forehead and between the
brows. They work by partially immobilizing the muscles that form expression lines so the skin smoothes out, although some
deep expression lines may not go away. Botox is the familiar brand name. Other FDA-approved botulinum toxins are
Myobloc and Dysport. The FDA issued a new warning in 2009 about the botulinum toxin spreading from injection sites,
although there have been no reports of that happening when the injections were for expression lines.
Dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are used to treat lines created by lost collagen and fat. After botulinum toxin injections, dermal
filler injections are the most common cosmetic procedure performed in the United States. Prime locations for the injections
are two sets of parentheses: the pair of lines that extend down from the nose to the corners of the mouth, known as the
nasolabial folds, and another pair that extends down from the corners of the mouth to the chin, known as marionette lines.
Many different materials are used as dermal filler. Collagen has fallen out of favor. Currently, the most popular one is
hyaluronic acid, a complex sugar found naturally in many tissues. Hyaluronic acid is more expensive than collagen, but lasts
longer — up to six months in the nasolabial folds. Like botulinum toxin injections, the effect of the dermal filler shots wears
off after several months — how long depends on the injection site — but with repeat injections it seems to last a little
longer.
Laser treatments. Lasers can be used to home in on certain pigments: brown, if the goal is to get rid of freckles and liver
spots, red if the target is broken capillaries. They're also used for wholesale resurfacing of facial skin. The uppermost layers
are stripped away, and with them, wrinkles from sun damage and scars from acne. The energy from some "nonablative"
resurfacing lasers passes through the outer layer of the skin to work at a deeper level, in the dermis, to stimulate
inflammation, which leads to collagen formation.
Skin needs time to recover after most laser treatments. It can take a couple of weeks to heal, depending on the type and
extent of the treatment. The nonablative treatments tend to heal a bit faster.

Is earwax
connected to
heart disease?
Q. I heard somewhere that the type of earwax you have is linked to your risk of heart disease. Can that be true?
A. One part of that "connection" is correct — humans have different types of earwax, also known as cerumen (suh-ROO-
men). Wet earwax, which is brownish and sticky, contains about 50% fat and 20% protein. Dry earwax, which is gray and
flaky, contains 18% fat and 43% protein. The type of earwax a person has is genetically determined.
In the early 1960s, one small study demonstrated a connection between wet earwax and atherosclerosis. In 1993,
Lithuanian researchers found that people with wet earwax were more likely to have higher levels of apolipoprotein B, a
protein that travels with particles of LDL (bad) cholesterol, while those with dry earwax were more likely to live longer.
These data aren't nearly enough to be "a connection."
In 2009, Japanese researchers discovered that the gene that determines earwax type also codes for a transport protein
called ABCC11 that may play a role in breast cancer. Women with wet earwax were somewhat more likely to have breast
cancer (and a stronger body odor) than those with dry earwax. The researchers suggest that earwax type could someday
be a tip-off of breast cancer risk. Whether they are right, or whether there is an association between earwax and heart
disease, remains to be seen.

Set walking goals
Walking is an easy way to strengthen your bones and muscles, burn calories, and lift your mood. If you don't currently walk
for exercise, try walking for five to 10 minutes every day. Gradually build up to 30 minutes a day. It's easy to sneak walking
into your day. Take up golf, window-shop at a large mall, or visit a walking-only destination, such as a museum or botanical
garden.

What are
wrinkles?
Skin grows older everywhere over the human body, however substantially more where there’s been exposure to the sun.
Alterations attributable to sun exposure comprise “dry skin”, sagginess, epidermis growths such as keratoses (“liver spots”),
and lines and wrinkles.
Wrinkles are generally
split up into two classes….
fine surface area lines and deep furrows. Anti-wrinkle methods are substantially more efficient with regard to fine lines. Much
deeper creases may necessitate additional intense methods, including cosmetic surgery.
Wrinkles are discovered mainly on the various locations of the physique wherein exposure to the sun will be most significant.
Such places particularly range from the facial muscles area (face wrinkles), throat, wrinkles around mouth, the backside of
the hands, as well as the tops of the over arms and smoking wrinkles.
Have you ever heard of the marionette lines? These are another form of wrinkles which are located around the chin area.
Wrinkles and fine lines tend to be the creases and folds which attack the epidermis because of your age or perhaps scarring
damage due to ecological elements. Because we age, the skin we have starts to drop flexibility and volume that causes your
skin to droop in addition to facial wrinkles and fine lines to formulate. There are numerous exterior agents that can induce
problems for the epidermis and deteriorate the collagen materials that handle supplying the epidermis its sleek and firm
visual appeal. Too much exposure to the sun, cigarette smoking, tension, lousy eating routine, along with a lack of exercise,
are generally contributing factors that can induce early aging as well as lines and wrinkles.
Wrinkled face before and after
Fine lines and wrinkles frequently show up on the brow, between the eye brows, around the eyes, and around the nasal area
as well as mouth area.
Wrinkles can be classified as
either static or dynamic:
Most of these wrinkles develop once we create a facial expression. If we are more youthful our skin is far more versatile and
is capable of effortlessly springing into its authentic condition. Nonetheless as we get older, the skin we have weakens and
it’s unable to recuperate from these face muscle contractions. This leads to a lasting or fixed wrinkle.
Such wrinkles show up any time the facial area is at rest and in its standard posture. Static wrinkles result from natural
process of getting older and skin damage brought on by ecological elements. As we get older, the skin gets leaner and we
drop collagen and elastin which causes the epidermis to sagg and fine lines and wrinkles to formulate.
There are a variety of productive treatments for fine lines and wrinkles that can assist a person restore the vibrant and
glowing presence you used to own. Consult the skin care expert concerning that therapy most suitable for your demands.
What components enhance
wrinkles?
Variables which enhance wrinkling consist of:
1. Smoking
2. Light skin type (individuals with blue eyes and simply burnt epidermis tend to be more vulnerable to environmental sun
damage)
3. Heredity (a few households wrinkle more)
4. Hair style (a few types supply cover and safety versus sun exposure)
5. Dress (hats, long sleeves, etc.)
6. Work-related and leisure routines (farming, sailing, golfing, using tanning booths, and so forth)
Many of these components tend to be outside of our management. The primary safety measures we could consider will be
to reduce exposure to the sun and never smoke cigarettes.
Fine lines and wrinkles can add decades to a persons visual appeal as well as adversely effect their self-esteem. Luckily,
there are many choices to battle indications of growing older than in the past.
Current treatments for wrinkles
include:
Facial fillers for example Collagen, Restylane and Radiesse try to bring back losing volume in the epidermis that permits fixed
wrinkles and fine lines to generate. This dermal filler is inserted to the anti-wrinkle employing a good needle. The facial filler
then adheres with water and fills up the actual crevice into the preferred plumpness. Individuals can experience a small
stinging throughout the therapy and when required, topical ointment may be used to lessen the location. Individuals observe
speedy outcomes which usually last six months to a year.
Botox is an easy, non-surgical method that calms the facial muscles to prevent dynamic wrinkles from generating. Botox
injections are inserted into the facial muscle using a very fine needle to smooth away wrinkles. Due to the fact, Botox briefly
restricts the facial muscles from contracting, people may also make use of this therapy to stop long term dynamic lines
from growing. People experience virtually no soreness throughout the treatment as well as benefits generally last 3-6
months.
Fractional lasers employ a specific light to focus on the deep dermal levels and make up a managed level of destruction of
regions of the skin in which collagen continues to be impaired. This method energizes the body’s recovery system to help
activate the creation of fresh collagen and make a much softer rejuvenated presence. Individuals typically need four
therapies each month for approximately four months.
Chemical peels employ a mix of risk-free chemicals to eliminate the impaired surface area of the epidermis. The newest,
regenerated skin underneath is smoother as well as considerably less wrinkled. You can find diverse degrees of peels that
offer an alternative amount of penetration within the epidermis. The deeper the actual peel the greater remarkable
outcomes will probably be as well as the more time it may need for your epidermis to recover. Light peels sink into the
upper layer of the skin and therefore are appropriate for shallow wrinkles. Medium peels get to the top of the dermal layer
and therefore are beneficial with regard to moderate to be able to reasonable lines. Much deeper chemical peels concentrate
on the deep levels of the skin and are employed to deal with deeper more serious facial wrinkling.
Microdermabrasion can be a mild exfoliating therapy which utilizes aluminum oxide-crystals to get rid of old skin debris from
your skin surface, developing a more delicate as well as rejuvenated presence. Microdermabrasion likewise helps activate
the development of new collagen to enhance the feel of the epidermis. Usually numerous treatments are required to
observe spectacular benefits.
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy (FotoFacial)
This treatment utilizes a powerful pulsed light to correct wrinkles from deep inside the epidermis, leaving behind the top
coating unscathed. The high intensity pulses of light make it possible to ease fine lines and wrinkles while enhancing the
consistency of the skin. Typically 6-12 therapies are necessary and individuals can easily continue their everyday living as
well as go back to work right after every process.
Surgical face lift
A face lift is a medical procedure which firms the whole surface of the skin to smooth out wrinkles and remove loose and
sagging skin. The surgeon commences the process by making a little cut on top of the hairline right down to the ear. The
epidermis as well as muscle mass will be split up, retracted, as well as tightened. Excess fat may also be removed or
repositioned to generate a youthful as well as curved look and feel.

What are
Wrinkles?
Wrinkles are creases, folds, or ridges in the skin. They normally appear as people get older, but they can also
develop after spending a long time in water.
The first wrinkles to appear on a person's face tend to occur as a result of facial expressions.
Sun damage, smoking, dehydration. some medications, and environmental and genetic factors affect when and where
people will develop wrinkles.
Most wrinkles tend to appear in the parts of the body which receive the most sun exposure, especially the face and neck,
the back of the hands, and the arms.
Most people do not welcome wrinkles, and billions of dollars are spent globally on treatments to remove or delay them.
Some of these therapies make great claims but have no effect, while others may have moderate, significant, or very
considerable success.
Contents of this article:
What causes wrinkles?
Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. As people get older, their skin gets thinner, drier, and less elastic, and less
able to protect itself from damage. This leads to wrinkles, creases, and lines on the skin.
Environmental factors such as smoking can accelerate the development of wrinkles.
Facial expressions, for example, repeatedly smiling, frowning, or squinting can lead to fine lines and wrinkles at a younger
age.
According to the Mayo Clinic. each time a person uses a facial muscle, a groove forms under the surface of the skin.
When a person is young, the skin springs back, but as they get older, the skin loses its flexibility. Springing back becomes
harder and less frequent, resulting in more permanent grooves.
A number of avoidable, environmental factors also contribute.
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. for example, through sunbathing, tanning booths, and outdoor sports increases the
chance of developing wrinkles earlier.
UV light breaks down the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. These fibers form the skin's connective tissue. They are
located under the surface of the skin, and they support the skin. Breaking down this layer causes the skin to become
weaker and less flexible. The skin starts to droop, and wrinkles appear.
Clothes that cover the body, such as hats and long sleeves, may delay the development of wrinkles.
People who work in the sunlight have a higher chance of early wrinkles. Jobs that involve this type of exposure include
fishing and farming. Sailors, golfers, beach lifeguards, and gardeners may also be more prone to skin aging.
Regular smoking accelerates the aging process of skin, because of the reduced blood supply to the skin. Alcohol dehydrates
the skin, and dry skin is more likely to wrinkle.
What are the treatment
options for wrinkles?
The two main types of wrinkles are surface lines and deep furrows.
Most basic wrinkle treatments, if they have any effect, tend to help reduce the fine lines. For deeper creases, there are more
aggressive techniques, such as plastic surgery or injections of fillers.
Medications
Topical retinoids are derived from vitamin A, and they are said to reduce fine wrinkles, some pigmentations, and skin
roughness.
This type of medication can make it easier for the skin to burn sunlight, so the patient needs to use it with a skin-care
program to protect the skin. Possible adverse effects include dryness, itching, a burning sensation, tingling, and redness.
Over-the-counter (OTC) wrinkle creams vary considerably in active ingredients and therefore, also, in effectiveness.
Slight to modest results may sometimes be obtained from retinol, alpha hydroxy acids, kinetin, coenzyme Q10, copper
peptides, and antioxidants. The active ingredient concentration in an OTC wrinkle cream will be significantly lower than a
prescription one.
In most cases, if there are results, they do not usually last long.
Cosmetic surgery and
other medical procedures
A number of surgical options are available.
Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a surgical procedure that involves the controlled wearing away, or abrasion, of the upper layers of skin with
sandpaper or some other mechanical means.
Wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but treatments like Botox can put them off for a while.
Dermabrasion is used to remove fine wrinkles, tattoos, nevi, or moles, acne scars, and other types of scar.
It may cause scabbing, swelling, and redness. These generally fade after 2 weeks, but some pinkness may remain for
several months. The desired results are not immediate, and may take several months.
Microdermabrasion uses a powerful vacuum to spray microcrystals of aluminum oxide across the surface of the skin. The
procedure removes the outermost layers of skin cells, and it stimulates cell growth in the underlying layers of skin.
This type of treatment is said to help give a fresher and smoother appearance to the skin, as well as diminishing the
appearance of lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, coarse skin, and sun damage. The patient may have slight redness in the
areas of treated skin.
Repeated treatments are required because results are temporary.
Laser therapy
Laser, light source, and radiofrequency (RF) treatments destroy the outer layer of skin with a laser beam, while the dermis,
or underlying skin, is heated up. This stimulates the development of new collagen fibers.
In 2013, a study reported over 90 percent satisfaction one month after undergoing RF, and up to 75 percent satisfaction
after 6 months, but the researchers called for further investigations into safety and effectiveness.
When the wound heals, the new skin is smoother and tighter, but ablative laser resurfacing can take several months to heal.
Newer therapies using laser technology may heal more quickly.
Non-ablative lasers, radiofrequency devices and pulsed light sources do not damage the epidermis. The underlying skin is
heated, triggering the formation of new collagen and elastin.
The skin feels firmer and appears refreshed after several treatments, and recovery times are faster, but more treatments
are needed and results are more subtle.
Botox
Botulinum toxin type A, commonly known as Botox, blocks the chemical signals that cause muscles to contract. It is used to
treat a number of medical conditions, as well as wrinkles.
It is injected in small doses into targeted muscles. If the muscles can no longer tighten, the skin flattens, giving a less
wrinkled and smoother appearance.
Botox can decrease the lines on the forehead, the frown lines between the eyes, and "crow's feet," around the corners of
the eyes.
Treatments generally last 3 months. so repeated injections are needed.
Chemical peels
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to wrinkly areas, causing the dead skin to shed and eventually peel off.
The regenerated skin tends to be smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.
Some types of chemical peels can be bought and used without a medical license, but it is advisable to consult a medical
health care professional for the treatment.
Facelift
A facelift. also known as a rhytidectomy. is a type of cosmetic surgery that aims to make people look younger. It usually
involves removing excess facial skin and fat, with or without tightening the underlying tissues.
The skin of the face, neck, or both is redraped. Research suggests that after 5 1/2 years, a facelift is still effective, but that
the neck starts to relapse. Healing times may be lengthy, and the patient will experience bruising and swelling for a few
weeks after surgery.
Fillers
Soft tissue fillers include collagen, hyaluronic acid, or fat. They are injected into deeper face wrinkles, plumping and
smoothing them out and giving the skin more volume.
Patients may sometimes experience swelling, redness, and bruising in the treated areas for a short period. As with Botox
treatment, for lasting results, the treatments will need to be repeated every few months.
The results are dependent on several factors, including where the wrinkles are and their depth.
Preventing wrinkles and
lines
Aging is a natural process, and eventually, everybody has wrinkles and lines that become more prominent over time.
Moisturizing creams may help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
The following steps may help slow the process down:
Avoiding excessive sun exposure reduces skin damage, because the sun causes the skin to age faster. Hats, protective
clothing, and sun screens can protect the skin from wrinkles by reducing sunlight damage.
Zero exposure to sunlight totally is not recommended, however, because it is a vital source of vitamin D. and vitamin D is
essential for bone strength and other aspects of health. Some sunscreens can protect the skin while allowing vitamin D to be
synthesized.
Moisturizers do not prevent wrinkles, but they may help temporarily make tiny lines and creases less evident.
Quitting smoking can prevent the accelerated aging of skin. Even a long-term heavy smoker can slow down the process by
giving up.
Avoid alcohol because it dehydrates the body and the skin.
Sleeping at least 7 hours a night, eating healthily and exercising regularly help to maintain overall health, and this may include
skin quality, although this has not been extensively proven by research.

13 Really Bad
Habits That
Cause Wrinkles
You know the drill: Wash off your makeup and apply moisturizer daily. But despite those healthy habits, you're probably
making some pretty common mistakes that might do more harm than good.
1. Tugging at your eyes while
applying liner.
We know you want the perfect cat eye. but that doesn't mean you should bang up the delicate skin around your eyes to get
it. Aggressive pulling can lead to puffiness, broken blood vessels, and wrinkles. "Use an eyeliner that glides rather than tugs,"
recommends Dr. Julia Tzu of Wall Street Dermatology in New York City.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
2. Thinking a perfect combo of
anti-aging products exists.
Many skin care fanatics use a makeup remover, face wash, toner, serum, moisturizer, face oil, eye cream, eye gel,
sunscreen, and wrinkle filler — each and every day, all in pursuit of perfect skin. Sadly, it doesn't quite work like that.
"The biggest skin care mistake is not realizing that less is more," explains Dr. Mona Gohara, associate clinical professor of
dermatology at the Yale School of Medicine. "They throw all these different products on themselves, which can irritate your
skin and cause inflammation," potentially exacerbating the signs of aging. A better bet? Using tried-and-true products that
actually work. Gohara recommends ones that features retinols, antioxidants, and SPF.
3. Skipping SPF in your car.
Just because you're inside of a vehicle doesn't mean you're protected: In the United States, left-sided skin cancers and
wrinkling are more common because that's where the sun hits you as you're driving. Always wear sunscreen, especially if
you're a frequent driver.
4. Assuming "organic" is
inherently better.
Sure, organic can be better for your body when it comes to food, but that's not necessarily true for your skin. Don't assume
something is going to reduce your wrinkles and the signs of aging simply because it says "organic" — otherwise, you could
wind up ignoring inflammatory ingredients. "After all," Gohara says, "poison ivy is natural and organic, but it's obviously not
good for your skin."
5. Aggressively removing your eye
makeup.
Taking off your makeup at night is important, but you should do it gently. The last thing you want to do is rub, tug, or scrap
the skin around your eyes to get that last little bit of mascara off. "You can cause broken blood vessels and puffiness,"
warns Gohara.
6. Sleeping on your stomach or
side.
"Sleeping on your back is the best way to prevent sleep-induced wrinkles," explains Tzu. Love lying on your stomach?
Gohara recommends using a satin pillowcase — they're less abrasive than the cotton kind.
7. Cleaning too thoroughly.
After a long day, you want to get all the dirt, grease, and grime out of your pores by any means necessary, but this is a
mistake that could cost your skin its youthful suppleness and glow. "When people use harsh soap in order to get a squeaky
clean feel, they strip their skin of its natural oils and accentuate fine lines," says Gohara. Stick to a gentle cleanser and don't
scrub — your skin will thank you later.
8. Giving up on products too
soon.
Have you ever tried a new product, but saw only minimal (if any) results after a few weeks and decided to toss it or give it
away? Unfortunately, you could be shorting yourself of that product's benefits, says Dr. Janet Prystowsky, a New York City
dermatologist.
"The thing is, those creams take months to make any difference," explains Prystowsky, "so unless a product is damaging
your skin, it's better to use it up before buying a new one." A tip that benefits our skin and our wallets? Yes, please.
9. Relying on a single "miracle
product" to stop the signs of
aging.
Achieving great skin doesn't require one product or one simple trick — it's a lifestyle. From your eating and sleeping habits to
your exercise regimen and sun exposure, there isn't one simple cream or serum that will fix all your skincare woes.
10. Sitting too close to the
computer screen.
Constantly squinting your eyes andstraining to see the screen causes fine wrinkles around the eyes, explains Tzu, who
recommends sitting about 1 1/2 to 2 feet — whichever is comfortable for your vision. Keep your neck straight to maintain
good posture and decrease horizontal neck lines. Prystowsky also suggests taking a break two or three times an hour in
order to readjust your posture and stretch. You could use a little rest every now and then throughout the day, anyway.
11. Skipping your annual eye
exam.
If you don't feel like your prescription has changed all that much, you may feel tempted to not make an appointment with
your eye doctor. However, furrow lines along your brow can occur if your vision is not properly corrected, so it's better to
ensure that your prescription is absolutely up to date.
12. Smoking cigarettes.
By now, everyone knows that smoking is bad for your body and looks. yet an estimated 42.1 million Americans are
currently cigarette smokers, leading to over 480,000 deaths each year. Skip the cigarettes — your body, skin, and loved
ones will thank you lady.
13. Not wearing sunscreen.
Most people know how important SPF is to long-term skincare. but there are still those who skip sunscreen because they
think a little tan here and there won't hurt. "The vast majority of aging signs come from unprotected skin exposure," says
Gohara, "so by not wearing sunscreen, you're actually accelerating the process."
4 Things You're
Doing That are
Causing Your
Eye Wrinkles
Updated May 05, 2016.
What's there to like about eye wrinkles? Nothing! They make us look and feel older than we are and also make us spend our
hard earned money on product after product. Who needs that?
But did you know you're probably encouraging your eye wrinkles to multiply or even get deeper? It's true! Check out the 4
most common mistakes people make that gives your eyes those dreaded creases. Start changing your habits today and
stop your eye wrinkles in their tracks.
1. Not Wearing Sunglasses
B2M Productions/Stockbyte/Getty Images
I wear glasses, and for the longest time I avoided getting prescription sunglasses because I just didn't want to fork over
hundreds of dollars for frames and lenses that would quickly go out of style. Boy did I ever pay the price. Because of the
decade of constant squinting, I now have crow's feet as well as forehead wrinkles. I would give anything to turn back the
clock and cough up the money from the beginning.
If you don't wear sunglasses for whatever reason, you're encouraging wrinkles! Look in the mirror and squint like the sun is
in your eyes. See the lines that form? After so long they will become permanent lines. Wrinkles form for different reasons
but one reason is repetitive facial movements that over time breakdown collagen and elastin in the skin. This happens each
time you squint because you aren't wearing sunglasses.
Go buy sunglasses and use them year-round. Remember that you also need sunglasses in the winter when the sun is even
brighter reflecting off of the snow. If you smoke cigarettes you probably squint through the smoke. This also causes
wrinkles around your eyes.

2. Rubbing and Tugging at Your
Eyes
What do you do when you're tired? Chances are good you rub your eyes. It's instinct! It feels good to rub your eyes when
you're tired or when they are feeling itchy, but it's a habit you must stop today if you want to avoid looking older than you
really are.
The skin around your eyes is so thin that when you rub them it causes them to wrinkle back and forth. Consistently rubbing
them will cause them to wrinkle faster than if you never started the bad habit in the first place.
This goes for removing your eye make up as well. Don't remove roughly. Let the makeup dissolve a bit with a cotton swab
filled with remover before you rub it off. When you remove eye makeup by tugging at the skin around your eye you
breakdown collagen. When you use eyeliner that tugs at the skin around your eyes you are causing further damage to that
skin. As for eye creams. apply your ring finger and gently tap in the cream, don't rub it in harshly.
3. Sleeping on Your Stomach
When you sleep on your belly, the side of your face resting on your pillow is squished for hours at a time. By constantly
squishing your face each night, you are causing creasing which can eventually turn into wrinkles. (Notice sleep lines each
morning?)
Try falling to sleep on your back. If you find it hard to stay that way, put a pillow under your knees, which will help you stay
in place.
Can't imagine not sleeping on your belly? Consider investing in special shaped pillow that allows you to sleep on your belly
while saving your face.

4. Skipping SPF
The sun causes your skin to age; it's as simple as that. Seeing the skin around your eyes is so thin, the aging can happen
sooner than other areas of your body. Sun exposure is one of the main reasons that collagen and elastin breaks down in
our skin causing wrinkles and fine lines.
Luckily you can find many great eye creams that have sun protection in them so that not only is your eye area getting great
anti-aging ingredients by SPF as well:
Wrinkles
Quick Guide How
to Reduce
Wrinkles With
Lifestyle Changes
There are several medical (topical medicines and creams) and many invasive techniques available for ameliorating wrinkles.
They are all effective to the degree that (1) they change the nature of aging collagen, (2) they stretch the skin, (3) fill in the
depressions in the skin, or (4) they paralyze muscles that cause the skin to crease. They include both medical and surgical
methods:
Medical treatments for fine wrinkling
Vitamin A acid (tretinoin [Retin A,
Renova]). This ingredient, available by
prescription, has the longest track record
of success in treating aging skin and fine
lines. Creams containing tretinoin must
be used on an ongoing basis. They may
produce redness and peeling at first, but
discomfort can usually be minimized by
lowering the cream's concentration or
applying it less often until the skin gets
used to it.
Alpha-hydroxy acids. These so-called
"fruit acids" include glycolic and lactic
acid. Preparations containing these fruit
acids are quite safe and cause no more
than mild and temporary irritation. They
produce only subtle improvement though.
Antioxidants. These include
preparations that contain the vitamins A,
C, and E, as well as beta-carotene. There
is very little compelling evidence that
these sorts of creams produce a
significant cosmetic improvement.
Ordinary moisturizers. Creams that
don't contain any of the above
substances can only make wrinkles look
temporarily less prominent ("reduce the
appearance of fine lines").
Procedural options
Glycolic acid peels. These superficial
peels can make a very slight difference in
the intensity of fine wrinkles.
Deeper peels. These peels use
ingredients like salicylic acid and
trichloroacetic acid and penetrate
somewhat deeper into the skin. Deeper
peels do a better job of smoothing fine
lines. The deeper the peel, however, the
greater the risk of side effects such as
long-lasting pigment changes (changes in
the color of the skin) and scarring. Such
peels may require anesthesia. Mild
sedation helps ease short-term but fairly
intense discomfort.
Microdermabrasion. This refers to
"sanding the skin" with a machine
containing silica or aluminum crystals;
many estheticians offer this service,
usually in "packages" of six or seven
sessions. Microdermabrasion does not
change skin anatomy, though it may
make the face feel smoother. Cosmetic
products marketed as "home
microdermabrasion" are just mild
exfoliants -- harmless but not likely to
produce any meaningful change in
wrinkles.
Dermabrasion. This is a true surgical
procedure, often performed under
general anesthesia. The treating
physician uses a rotating instrument to
sand the skin down. Depending a great
deal on the skill and experience of the
operator, dermabrasion can result in
excellent improvement but can also
produce significant side effects, including
scarring and permanent changes in skin
color.
Laser resurfacing. Using instruments
such as the carbon dioxide and erbium
lasers, physicians can achieve results
similar to those of dermabrasion with
greater reliability and precision. The laser
is passed several times over the area to
be treated until the damage reaches the
middle of the dermis, the skin's second
layer. This helps stimulate the body's
natural collagen synthesis (production),
which plumps up sagging skin and
wrinkles. Some doctors perform laser
resurfacing under "conscious sedation,"
in which the patient remains awake and
receives intravenous medications to calm
and ease pain. This sedation is combined
with the application of topical anesthetic
creams such as EMLA. as well as
injections of local anesthetics like
lidocaine. Procedures may need to be
repeated to maximize improvement. Skin
takes a long time to heal (weeks to
months) after resurfacing. In addition, this
procedure, like dermabrasion, can cause
permanent pigment changes and
scarring.
Fractional resurfacing. Newer lasers
work through a modification of traditional
laser resurfacing. Treatments affect not
the whole skin but instead only evenly
spaced spots surrounded by undamaged
skin. Healing is much faster than
traditional resurfacing, with less
"downtime" afterward. Several treatments
are needed to achieve full benefit.
Non-ablative laser resurfacing. Newer
lasers attempt to stimulate collagen
synthesis under the skin without
damaging the epidermis. Studies and
clinical experience suggest that such
procedures can improve fine wrinkles,
though not as much as laser resurfacing.
Several treatments may be necessary.
These procedures are almost painless
and there is little or no redness, peeling,
or downtime afterward.
Heat and radiofrequency. Another
variation of noninvasive facial
rejuvenation is to heat tissue using
radiofrequency devices and infrared light
sources. Techniques are still being
developed but results to date suggest
that such treatments are safe and can
produce visible and lasting improvement,
though not as much as surgical
techniques like facelifts.
Plastic surgical procedures. Surgical
facelifts, brow lifts, and similar operations
can be very helpful for selected patients.
Botox. Injection of botulinum toxin, the
muscle poison, can paralyze muscles that
produce the "frown lines" on the
forehead, fine lines around the eyes, and
other wrinkles. Improvement lasts several
months and must be repeated to sustain
improvement. Injected properly, Botox is
quite safe; the muscle poison does not
spread through the body to do damage
elsewhere.
Fillers. Fillers are injected into the skin to
increase volume and flatten wrinkles and
folds. In the past, the most popular filler
was collagen. More recently, new filler
substances such as hyaluronic acid
(Restylane. Juvederm) and calcium
hydroxylapatite (Radiesse), lactic acid
(Sculptra), and autologous fat transplants
are being used because their effect can
last six to nine months or even longer.
Anyone considering any of the cosmetic procedures should be sure to consult doctors who have experience in one or
several of these techniques. Patients should fully inform themselves about the risks and potential benefits of the procedure
they are considering before going forward.

Wrinkles
Wrinkles mainly happen on the parts of the body that get the most sun exposure, including the face, neck, the backs of the
hands, and the tops of the forearms.
Wrinkles fall into two categories: fine, surface lines and deeper furrows. If your wrinkles bother you, or if you're looking to
prevent them in the first place, you have options.
What Causes Wrinkles?
Factors that promote wrinkling include:
Smoking
Skin type (people with light-colored skin
and blue eyes are more susceptible to
sun damage )
Heredity (some families wrinkle more)
Sun exposure
Though you can't control all of those factors, you can do something about two of them: Minimize your sun exposure and
don't smoke.
Wrinkle Treatments
There are several ways to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and even remove them.
Retinoids (tretinoin. Retin-A, Renova ).
Among medical treatments, this is by far
the most proven and effective way of
bettering signs of aging such as uneven
pigmentation, roughness, and wrinkling.
At first, these medications cause redness
and peeling. Although this can be
unpleasant, improvement comes once
the peeling stops.
Alpha-hydroxy acids. These are the so-
called "fruit acids" and include glycolic
and lactic acid. Preparations containing
these fruit acids are quite safe and cause
no more than mild and temporary
irritation. The improvement they produce
is, however, relatively subtle.
Antioxidants. These include vitamins A,
C, and E, as well as beta-carotene.
Products that have antioxidants may
provide some sun protection (though you
should still wear sunscreen ) and mildly
improve wrinkles.
Moisturizers. These may temporarily
make wrinkles look less noticeable. Ads
often say that they "reduce the
appearance of fine lines." But they don't
make those lines go away permanently.
Glycolic acid peels. These superficial
peels can make a very slight difference in
the intensity of fine wrinkles.
Deeper peels. These peels use
ingredients like salicylic acid and
trichloroacetic acid and penetrate
somewhat deeper into the skin. These
deeper peels do a better job of smoothing
fine lines. In general, however, the
deeper the peel, the greater the chance
of side effects, such as scarring and
changes in skin color. Such peels can be
uncomfortable, so ask ahead of time what
to expect.
Dermabrasion . This procedure "sands"
the skin. Depending a great deal on the
skill and experience of the professional
who does it, dermabrasion can make a
big difference. Side effects, including
scarring and permanent changes in skin
color, are also possible.
Laser resurfacing . Doctors can use
lasers to stimulate the skin's production of
collagen. which plumps up skin. There
are different types of lasers, and you
should ask your doctor about how many
treatments you'll need, how much "down
time" you'll need for your skin to heal, and
any risks.
Plastic surgery . Facelifts. brow lifts. and
other cosmetic surgeries help some
people. For others, more minor
procedures are enough. Talk it over with
your doctor before you decide what, if
any, procedure you want to do.
Injections. Some injections, including
Botox. relax muscles that produce the
"frown lines" on the forehead, fine lines
around the eyes. and other wrinkles.
Improvement lasts several months and
must be repeated to sustain
improvement. Others are wrinkle fillers.
You should only get injections from a
doctor.
If you're thinking about getting a cosmetic procedure done, consult experienced doctors. Tell them your goals and ask about
risks, benefits, and costs.

Aging Skin: Do You Look
Older Than You Should?
Who in the world wants to look older than one's chronological age? Wrinkles may be the road map of life, but no one wants
to read an atlas when they look in the mirror.
Keep in mind, you may be writing a few of those lines yourself. Certain habits and behaviors increase the risk of premature
skin aging. Avoiding them can help keep your skin looking younger, longer.
Leading Cause of Wrinkles: Sun
Exposure
A "healthy" tan is anything but. Tanning is a sign of skin damage, evidence that the sun's ultraviolet rays have penetrated
and damaged the skin's support structure. Most wrinkles are caused by sun exposure throughout life -- and it's never too
late to halt the process.
What you can do: Wear sunscreen with
sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.
The hands and face are particularly
vulnerable to sun damage. due to their
frequent exposure. Make sunscreen
application part of your out-the-door
routine.
Another Top Cause of Wrinkles:
Smoking
Beyond question, smoking is bad for your skin. Smoking accelerates the aging process, wrinkling skin and making you look
old beyond your years.
Early wrinkling is visible under a microscope in smokers as young as 20. The more years and packs smoked, the more likely
wrinkles will occur. Wrinkles are also more likely to be deeper in smokers. Tobacco smoke gives skin an unhealthy color and
coarse texture, as well.
What you can do: Stop smoking.
Effective tools are available at WebMD
and throughout the Internet. Search for
"quit smoking ."
How Facial Muscle Contractions
Cause Wrinkles
Wrinkles at the corners of the eyes (crow's feet) or between the eyebrows (frown lines) are thought to be caused by small
muscle contractions. Over a lifetime, habitual facial expressions like frowning, smiling, or squinting leave their mark on our
skin.
What you can do: Wear sunglasses or
corrective lenses to avoid squinting from
the sun or nearsightedness. If the
furrowed-brow glare is a regular part of
your facial repertoire, trade it in for a
more Zen-monk-like gaze.
How Sleeping Positions May
Cause Wrinkles
The way you sleep may actually cause wrinkles. No matter how soft your pillow, it puts pressure on your face each night.
Over years, this can etch lines into your chin, cheeks, or forehead. Your personal pattern of sleep lines depends on how you
tend to rest your face on the pillow.
What you can do: Sleep on your back.
People who don't sleep with their face on
a pillow do not tend to develop sleep
lines.
What Causes
Wrinkles?
As we get older, we are all going to experience wrinkles in some form or another. This is a common occurrence that
everyone has to deal with as we age. But many of us are more interested in learning what causes wrinkles as we get older.
We are interested in finding a way to stop the development of this unfortunate occurrence so that we can continue to look
as young as we can for as long as we can.
What is the Cause of
Facial Wrinkles?
For the most part, wrinkles are ridges, folds or creases within the skin. These wrinkles most commonly appear as we age.
But there are also unfortunate occurrences of people experiencing wrinkles at an age much younger than they should. No
matter what the situation happens to be, figuring out ways to fight back against the signs of aging are definitely in your best
interest.
Wrinkles can start as early as the 20’s, but the expressions we make from youth have an impact on wrinkle depth.
In some instances, having wrinkles might make you look old, distinguished and filled with wisdom. But in today’s society,
these things are not valued as much as they once were. People are more interested in youthful appearances. So doing
whatever possible to reduce the signs of aging is definitely in your best interest.
There are certain companies that claim that their lotions, potions and pills can reduce or eliminate wrinkles, fine lines and
crow’s feet. In many cases, this just isn’t that true. But at the same time, there are also plenty of wonderful companies that
do have top-quality products that actually work.
For the most part, wrinkles typically appear on the body in the areas that experience the most exposure to the sun. The
areas that we are talking about include: tops of the forearms, neck, backs of hands, and the face.
There are also two specific types of wrinkles that you should be aware of: deep furrows and surface lines.
For the most part, the more common wrinkle treatments only have the ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines. As far
as the deeper creases are concerned, techniques that are more aggressive are often required – i.e. filler injections or plastic
surgery.
The Main Factors Contributing to the Cause of Wrinkles
Sure, aging is certainly the biggest reason why people will begin to develop wrinkles. But it is certainly not the only
contributing factor as you are about to find out. Some of the other major factors include:
Smoking tobacco – this is a nasty habit
to begin with and it can pose all sorts of
health problems far beyond the
appearance of wrinkles. But as far as
wrinkles are concerned, the reason why
smoking is so negative is because smoke
reduces the blood supply flowing to the
skin, and this has a big impact and can
accelerate the signs of aging.
Skin tone – you might not realize that
skin tone plays a role in whether or not
you are going to develop wrinkles, but it
actually does. People with a lighter skin
tone unfortunately experience more
damage from the harmful UV rays of the
sun. And as we all know, too much
exposure to the sun unfortunately
accelerates the aging process and the
creation of wrinkles. So, if you have a
lighter skin tone, it’s best to always wear
sunscreen and avoid too much exposure
to the sun. Avoid tanning beds at all
costs!
Genetics – genetic seem to play a major
role in all facets of health, wrinkles
included. If your parents unfortunately
had wrinkles earlier than most other
people, then there’s a real chance that
you’ll also get wrinkles a lot earlier in life.
Hairstyles – whether you know it or not,
certain hairstyles will provide the face with
more protection than others. Some
hairstyles will protect your face from the
sun better than other hairstyles, and this
will actually make a difference in whether
or not you develop wrinkles.
UV rays exposure – some people have
jobs that will expose them to more
sunlight than others. Then again, there
are certain people that like to spend
much of their leisure time lounging
around out in the sun. The more
exposure that you have to the ultraviolet
rays of the sun, the better chance you’ll
have at getting wrinkles. So if you want to
avoid wrinkles as much as possible, stay
out of the sun.
Facial expressions – certain facial
expressions cause wrinkles. This is
unfortunately true, and it is the reality that
we have to live in. If you regularly squint,
frown, or smile, you can develop fine lines
and wrinkles around the eyes, around the
corners of your mouth. and on your
forehead. Since it’s practically impossible
to control our reactions and facial
expressions, this is something that you’ll
either have to learn to live with or you can
use top-quality anti aging products to help
overcome these creases.
Treatment Options for Wrinkles
The main treatment options include:
Over-the-counter wrinkle creams –
there are many wonderful and effective
over-the-counter wrinkle creams that you
can buy in a local pharmacy. Or even
better, skin care scientists are working
hard to develop products that can easily
eliminate wrinkles, and many of these
companies are selling their products
online. Do not hesitate to search for top
shelf wrinkle creams. serums, and other
products right here on the Internet. Look
for an anti wrinkle ingredient like this one .
Botox – botulism toxin is obviously one of
the most effective ways to eliminate the
signs of aging in the form of wrinkles. It’s
also very expensive and requires a
licensed dermatologist to inject poison
into your face. So the obvious upside is
that your wrinkles will disappear for a
while. The downside is that you’re
potentially putting your health at risk.
Facelifts – facelifts are also a powerful
form of cosmetic surgery that can
eliminate wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s
feet. As you can imagine, this surgery is
very expensive and since it’s cosmetic in
nature it isn’t typically covered by
insurance.
Chemical peels – chemical solutions are
often used to eliminate the dead skin that
will peel off of your face. When this
happens, it helps to diminish the
appearance of wrinkles as well.
As you can tell, there are many causes of wrinkles. And the good thing is that there are also many excellent solutions that
actually work. Pick your favorite and test it to see if it’s to your liking.

23 Ways to Reduce
Wrinkles
Whether you're 35 and just beginning to see the first signs of aging, or 55 with skin that isn't exactly keeping your birthday a
secret, seeking ways to reduce wrinkles is probably on your agenda.
At the same time, experts say, many of us are losing the wrinkle battle, watching helplessly as the glow of youth goes on
the dimmer switch.
"Many women as well as men believe that aging skin is inevitable, but with the information and technologies we have today,
you really can look as young as you feel," says Robin Ashinoff, MD, a dermatologist at the Hackensack University Medical
Center in New Jersey.
To help put you on the right path, WebMD asked Ashinoff and several other experts what really works to reduce wrinkles.
What follows are 23 ways experts say you can make a difference. While some require a visit to the dermatologist, many are
things you can do on your own.
How to Reduce Wrinkles: What
You Can Do
1.Avoid the sun. It's the No. 1 cause of wrinkles. with dozens of studies documenting the impact. In one study that looked
at identical twins, New York plastic surgeon Darrick Antell, MD, found sun exposure was even more important than heredity.
Siblings who limited sun time had fewer wrinkles and looked younger overall than their sun-worshiping twins.
2.Wear sunscreen . If you must go out in the sun, the American Academy of Dermatology says, wear sunscreen. It will
protect you from skin cancer. and help prevent wrinkles at the same time.
3. Don't smoke. Some of the research is still controversial, but more and more studies are confirming that cigarette smoke
ages skin -- mostly by releasing an enzyme that breaks down collagen and elastin, important components of the skin.
Sibling studies done at the Twin Research Unit at St. Thomas Hospital in London found the brother or sister who smoked
tended to have skin that was more wrinkled and up to 40% thinner than the non-smoker.
4. Get adequate sleep . Yale dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, MD, says that when you don't get enough sleep. the body
produces excess cortisol, a hormone that breaks down skin cells. Get enough rest, Perricone says, and you'll produce more
HGH (human growth hormone ), which helps skin remain thick, more "elastic," and less likely to wrinkle.
Skin Wrinkles
Overview

Another cause of premature skin aging is smoking, which damages the skin's collagen, causes inflammation, and leaves
telltale lines around the mouth. Smokers are five times more likely to have wrinkled facial skin than non-smokers [source:
Simon ].
Air pollution, smog and toxins in the air can also wreak havoc on your skin by breaking down vitamin E, a necessary vitamin
for your skin's health. Your parents also influence how you age, since genetics play a role in when you'll begin seeing crow's
feet around your eyes and laugh lines around your mouth.
Finally, of course, there is the natural process of aging. As skin ages, it loses its ability to defend itself against the sun,
smoking and the environment. Cells divide more slowly in older skin, making the dermis thinner and less able to hold
moisture. The hypodermis, the part of our skin where fat is stored, begins to loosen. Your skin becomes less elastic, losing
the ability to stretch and spring back into a firm position.
As you age, however, it's possible to bolster your skin's defenses. To find out whether sleep can help you avoid face
wrinkles or actually make them worse, read on.
Toothaches and Wrinkles
What do toothaches and wrinkles have in common? Researchers believe that wrinkles, like a bad tooth, can be the result of
eating too much sugar. A study found that by the time a person reaches the age of 35, the negative effects of sugar begin
to show on the skin. Sugar damages the skin's collagen and elastin, which it needs to be healthy [source: Baumann ].

Use a creamy, oil-free face wash to hydrate skin and whisk away impurities. Skin is much more flexible when it is
moisturized, allowing it to move and slide freely across your face without damage. This sort of damage will compound itself
over your lifetime, leading to wrinkles, if you don't take proper care of your skin now.
/4/45/Prevent Wrinkles Step 1.360p.mp4
Use lukewarm water, not cold or hot, to
protect your skin
Lightly massage the face wash into your skin using gentle, circular motions. Use your fingers to work the wash into
your face. Get around the eyes and forehead as well, using the tips of your fingers to work up a nice, gentle lather.
/4/43/Prevent Wrinkles Step 2.360p.mp4
Using a warm, wet towel, pat your face dry. Don't rub or scrub with a towel, as this will irritate your skin and lead to
redness. Your wash has removed a lot of the dead skin, oil, and dirt, so scrubbing now is just hurting the new, younger skin
underneath.
/b/ba/Prevent Wrinkles Step 3.360p.mp4
Mix up or apply a collagen mask to prevent wrinkles and firm up your skin. Firm, flexible skin is the enemy of
wrinkles. Masks are a way to soak your skin in collagen (a naturally occurring human protein) as well as essential anti-
oxidants, vitamins and minerals. Let the mask rest for 15 minutes to absorb into your skin. [1]
/2/22/Prevent Wrinkles Step 4.360p.mp4
Some modern masks come in pre-
soaked pads, which you can simply stick
to your face instead of mixing up and
painting on a traditional wet mask.
When done, pat in any remaining mask
essence (sold with the pads) lightly onto
your face.
Apply an anti-wrinkle cream around wrinkle-prone areas. Most of these are very concentrated, so you only need a
pea-sized amount. Focus on your outer eyes, forehead, chin, and around your mouth. Pat the cream onto your face instead
of rubbing it on.
/8/8b/Prevent Wrinkles Step 5.360p.mp4
If you have some extra cream, don't
forget about your neck -- this is one of the
wrinkle spots many people forget.
Pat in some eye concentrate to prevent wrinkles in the most common areas. Crows feet, the wrinkles right around
the eyes, are the most common and quickest wrinkles you'll develop. Using some eye concentrate around the eyes targets
these wrinkles specifically.
/3/31/Prevent Wrinkles Step 6.360p.mp4
Make sure you get a cream that is
paraben-free, as these chemicals may
hurt your skin over time. [2]
Apply an anti-wrinkly moisturizing body lotion to your body, especially your upper chest and neckline. Your body
skin needs protection too, and many of the same principles used to prevent wrinkles on your face can be applied to your
body, too. A daily full-body moisturizing, focusing on frequently exposed areas like the arms, legs, and upper chest, will help
fight body wrinkles.
/1/1d/Prevent Wrinkles Step 7.360p.mp4
Look for moisturizing creams that aren't
oil-based, which can leave you feeling
greasy.
Again, search for natural, paraben-free
products for the best results.
Method Two of Two:
Protecting Yourself Against
Wrinkles Edit
Protect your skin from the sun. As you get older, the genes that control inflammation, the production and strength of
collagen, and your skin's ability to retain water begin encourage the formation of wrinkles. A study found that aged skin that
hadn't been exposed to the sun had about 3,800 genetic mutations while skin that had been exposed to the sun had around
10,000 mutations in the same genes! [3] If the risk of skin cancer isn't enough to get you to wear sunblock and wide-
brimmed hats, let vanity persuade you.
/b/ba/Prevent Wrinkles Step 8.360p.mp4
The sun provides vital Vitamin D, so
make sure you're taking a supplement if
you're worried about Vitamin D levels.
This is a much safer way to get the
vitamin than sunbathing. [4]
Eat, drink, and slather on the antioxidants . When UV rays are absorbed by your skin, they create free radicals, which
are volatile molecules. Those free radicals can latch onto your DNA and cause the mutations that cause wrinkles.
Antioxidants help your body defend against free radicals. [5] Combat wrinkles by eating foods and drinking beverages that
contain antioxidants (pomegranates, açai, blueberries, green tea) and using creams or moisturizers that contain them.
/d/d1/Prevent Wrinkles Step 9.360p.mp4
Don't blame it on your genes. It's true that some people age more gracefully than others. And while scientists are
beginning to gain a deeper understanding of how genetics can influence the aging process, they're also discovering how
much your lifestyle choices can affect your genes. Your genes only govern 30% of how you age; the other 70% is up to
you. [12]
/9/97/Prevent Wrinkles Step 17.360p.mp4
No one can completely prevent wrinkles.
They are a natural part of aging. But you
can help control how severe they are.
[13]
See a doctor when over-the-counter products fail to work and you are bothered by your indomitable wrinkles.
Prescription retinoic acid can minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Wrinkles arising solely from excessive muscular
contractions, such as forehead horizontal lines or crows' feet, should be injected with botulinum toxin. Deep wrinkles may
need filler injections.

Dehydrated Skin
Wrinkles: How
Dehydration
Affects Your
Face?
What are Dehydrated Skin
Wrinkles?
When a person loses more water from their body than they are taking in, they become dehydrated. Approximately 45
million Americans suffer from skin disorders. Some experts believe that as many as 75% of the U.S. population also suffers
from dehydration. Chronic dehydration is linked to dry skin, wrinkles and other skin problems. We lose water from our skin
when we perspire, when we sweat and through surface evaporation. It becomes harder for water to enter our cells as we
age. Your skin reflects the health of your cells. If your cells are healthy, your skin will be supple and glowing. Your body must
prioritize its use of water when it becomes dehydrated. Priority is given to your vital organs, such as your liver, brain and
lungs. Your skin is not considered to be high priority in comparison to your vital organs.
What Causes Dehydrated
Skin?
When your body doesn’t have enough water to replace the water lost throughout the day, you become dehydrated.
Dehydration is often caused by illness or when you don’t have access to safe drinking water, such as when you are
travelling, hiking or camping. Severe, acute diarrhea that comes suddenly and severely can cause dehydration. That is why
it is so important to keep yourself hydrated. If you develop a fever from an illness, you can become dehydrated. The higher
the fever, the worse the dehydration. Since you lose water when you sweat, excessive sweating also causes dehydration.
When exercising or doing heavy work, you need to keep yourself well-hydrated. When you urinate a great deal, you
sometimes become extremely thirsty and dehydration can occur.
What are the Effects of
Dehydration on Skin
Wrinkles?
When your cells become dehydrated, your skin becomes dry, flaky and wrinkled. Skin wrinkles lose their elasticity as you
age. This is due to a lack of mobility of water inside the body. The primary connective tissue of the skin is collagen. Collagen
is mostly water. When collagen becomes inadequately dehydrated, the strands start to crack and they become joined
together. Wrinkles begin to form on the surface of the skin. Remember, your skin is the largest organ on your body. Your
body rids itself of toxins through your skin.
Dehydrated Skin Signs
and Symptoms
Skin dehydration symptoms are very similar to sunburn. Skin may feel tight and patients sometimes experience a burning
sensation. Dehydrated skin doesn’t always heal as well as healthy skin. It gets flaky and develops dry lines. Extreme itching
is a common sign of dehydrated skin. Itching can become painful and the skin may become red. You can dehydrate your
skin by taking extremely hot showers or baths. Your lipids break down and your skin cracks when you take extremely hot
showers and baths. Beware of certain soap, deodorant and sanitizing products, which can rob your skin of its natural
moisture.
Expert Opinion
According to the Mayo Clinic website, mild to moderate dehydration can be treated simply by drinking more fluids, but
people who present with severe signs of dehydration should seek immediate medical treatment. Watch out for symptoms
such as extreme thirst, lack of urination, shriveled skin, dizziness and confusion. Children and older adults should be treated
with greater caution. Look for symptoms of severe diarrhea (with or without vomiting or fever), bloody stool, moderate
diarrhea for three or more days, inability to keep fluids down, irritability or disorientation and other signs and symptoms of
mild to moderate dehydration.
How to Manage and Treat
Dehydrated Skin
Wrinkles?
In order to treat dehydrated skin, it is important to understand some of the general causes of it. Poor cleansing with harsh
soaps, cleansers and abrasive scrubs can contribute to dehydrated skin. Make sure you’re cleansing regularly with a good
cleanser. Overuse of certain products, such as benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide and retinoic acid can cause skin
damage. Limit how often you use these products to avoid dehydrated skin. Your skin does not require a lot of exfoliation. If
you over-exfoliate, your skin can become dehydrated quickly. Your skin will also become dehydrated if it lacks moisture.
Make sure you are using good-quality moisturizers on your skin.
Conclusion
When we often think of dehydration, we think of a serious medical condition that sometimes requires professional medical
attention. It is easy to forget about the possibility of your skin becoming dehydrated. Negative things may be happening with
your skin when it goes into dehydration and you may not realize what is going on. Be on the lookout for signs and
symptoms of dehydrated skin. If you see signs and symptoms, start treatment to reverse the negative effects immediately.
Seek medical attention if necessary.

Bed Bug Chemical Spray
products are widely
available at stores, but are
they the best option?
Victims of bed bug infestation will attest to the fact that getting rid of these little blood sucking vampires by using chemical
sprays is difficult than previously imagined. But stores like Walgreens and Wal Mart offer products on their shelves that get
barely 3 stars when reviewed by actual users.
You ought to know that any slight thought that the use of chemical sprays and insecticides to get rid of these horrific
creatures, which will do anything to suck your blood for sustenance, is not only misplaced, but also hazardous to your
safety more than the bed bugs.
This may spell bad news to companies who manufacture and sell over-the-counter insecticides, but the truth is these
chemical sprays don’t work against bed bugs. Instead, these products carry numerous potential dangers, besides their
ineffectiveness in properly fighting bed bug infestations with toxic chemical sprays .
Potential Hazards of Store-bought
Chemical Bed Bug Killer Sprays
You should clearly ask yourself and find the answers to this question before proceeding to use chemical sprays with the aim
of getting rid of bed bugs. Are you completely safe from the use of chemical sprays for bed bugs?
It is clearly evident that chemical sprays have caused illnesses besides actually not working against bed bugs. People who
have been exposed to these chemical sprays have reported far-reaching symptoms such as headaches, difficulties in
breathing, vomiting, nausea and dizziness among others. The potential dangers that these chemical sprays may cause to
your life are worsened by the fact that bed bugs have become resistant to these chemical sprays.
Ultimately the best bed bug killer Walmart doesn’t even carry. This is because of the traditional view that it requires a
chemical spray to kill most household pests, which is a falsely held belief. Many products that use fossilized shell flour are
just as effective as chemicals like Temprix.
Wal Mart carries products like Hot Shot which kill on contact. That’s cool but you could make about the same thing yourself
with alcohol and it’d probably be safer. But then there’s Safer which claims to kill bed bugs but doesn’t list all its ingredients.
DE! is an OMRI organic and chemical free pest control method/solution
A clearer picture of bed bugs resistant to these chemical sprays is portrayed through a recent study by entomologists from
Ohio State University. This study found out that these cheap, insecticide-spraying chemicals that have been marketed for
many years as the best do-it-yourself option for bed bugs were not only ineffective in killing even the most according to this
site reporting on the news, but were also dangerous to the environment.
It would be absolutely right to say that bed bugs have become resistant to the most active ingredients in these chemical
sprays. Again, these sprays don’t work against bed bugs as they are not effectively structured to penetrate into crevices and
cracks where bed bugs hide. These are some of the factors that prove to push chemical sprays used to kill bed bugs to their
death knells as their ineffectiveness is beyond doubt.
This is why products like Defensive End! and other organic bed bug killing products have become so popular so fast.
What are the
Safest and Most
Effective Ways of
Killing Bed Bugs
in 2015?
One of the most recommended and effective way that can be used in place of the dangerous chemical sprays is the
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for bed bug control. This is a pest control strategy that involves a closer look at the
pests’ life cycle and habitats that may enhance their infestations, thereby using this information to get rid of them. This may
include physical methods such as sanitation, exclusion, and vacuuming, steaming, laundering and cold treatment.
Hiring a Pest Control Operator (PCO) to target and effectively get rid of bed bugs in cracks and crevices is highly
advisable.Using chemical sprays don’t work against bed bugs and should be avoided because of the safety risks that they
expose human beings to. It is, therefore recommended that you use other effective and safe ways such as hiring a pest
control operator to get rid of the bed bugs.

Healthy Skin Care Will

making it a daily habit.
Your skin will look nice much longer when you take care of your skin throughout your life. You need to do this if you don’t
want wrinkles, and you want nice looking skin. Proper skin care has many benefits for your health, but as people age, most
of them are only thinking about their looks.
When you look at skincare and hair care supplements, a common marketing message tends to be there. They are known
for telling people to utilize the vitamins and that it’s great for their skin in many ways.
You must do your homework. There are several reasons that you must get this done. Just because a vitamin is in the
product, doesn’t mean that it is that useful.
Vitamins are only useful for the skin if they can come from the inside and go into the skin that way. It would actually be non-
beneficial to use a topical application for the nutrients.
In the end, you are paying for something that is absolutely useless, though you are spending more money use top wrinkle
reduction cream for young and Healthy skin.
What purpose would it serve to use this product if there is no benefit or reason to do so? There is a lot you can do right at
home using everyday products to help take good care of your skin. One thing you can do throughout the week is to give a
steam bath to your face, which will do wonders for it. I found out that good sleep results in great skin at
http://copeministries.org
This isn’t something you do every day, but more like once a week is plenty. One thing you don’t want to have happen, is
having the water too hot, so that when the steam hits the skin, it is uncomfortable.
First you need to remove your make up, and then your face should be gently washed. No more than 15 or 20 minutes of
steam should be done after that. This will keep your skin smooth and looking nice, and it didn’t take much time or effort.

attention if you have acne.

health, which is why choosing and using safe products and strategies are important. It is possible to get rid of acne and keep
your skin healthy too. That’s what we’ll share with you today so keep reading.

complicated because it’s known that UV light causes skin damage, and you’re trying to avoid any kind of damage. If you
want darker skin, then there are alternatives to direct sun exposure such as sunless tanning.
But these products are not created equal, so perhaps look for reviews online or ask your friends, etc. Look for sunless
tanning products that will not clog your pores as this is what happens with acne. Spray on tans, creams and lotions you
apply for a sunless tan – all types and methods.
Acne and Your Skin Care – What
You Can Do

Ordinary toothpaste, for example can be used for eliminating acne. If this is new to you, you don’t have anything to lose by
trying. Many people have actually gotten rid of their acne this way. So how do you use this remedy? You just apply a bit of
toothpaste on your pimples every night.I also finally kicked the skin defeating insomnia at http://www.copeministries.org

whose skin doesn’t react too well with toothpaste. If your skin is irritated by the toothpaste, you’ll need to take a different
approach to getting rid of your acne problem.
When you’re trying to manage acne, you have to be careful how you use makeup. Consider leaving the makeup off until
your pimples disappear. Most cosmetic products cause the pores of the skin to get clogged and this can cause more pimples
to form.
Look for cosmetic products with the “noncomedogenic” label or those that are water-based if you must wear makeup. Your
acne will simply worsen if you continue using oil-based cosmetics. You also want to avoid leaving makeup on overnight. Best

Men’s Skin Care Tactics –
Tips And Tricks That Get
Results
Any guy that aspires to look younger, and also feel better physically, and mentally about themselves, should look into men’s
skin care strategies.It is easy for your pores to breathe much more easily if your skin is properly cleansed and moisturized
everyday.
You will find that your body will benefit greatly. Anyone seeking men’s skin care strategies that can truly help their skin, keep
reading. There are various types of creams available in market. You can check aging cream review online for your selection
of best cream and also watch video for how to apply.
Moisturizing your skin is just as important as keeping your skin clean and healthy. It is true that most men do not use
moisturizers. That is why their skin can become irritated quickly and easily. Despite the fact there are moisturizers just for
men, many of the brands can work for either of the sexes.
If you spend a lot of time outdoors, you may want to look for a moisturizer that has SPF, which also guards you from the
sun. For some people, this will work out very well. They will end up with UV protection in their moisturizer saving the money
on sunblock.
However, they still might need the extra SPF protection. Regardless of your lifestyle, your climate zone, or where you live in
the world, everyday moisturizer on your skin is a good thing to do.
What You Should Know About
Men’s Skin Care
One area that men need to be very careful with is the skin they save. Most men shave every day, and over the years this
can take its toll on the face. There are a few simple precautions that will help reduce the damage that is done.
The best time to shave, for example, is either while you are in the shower or just after the shower while your pores are still
open and the hairs are still soft. Reduce your chances of irritation by using a shaving cream or gel. Most shaving blades will
start to get really dull after a week’s use so change them every week.
Use a gentle cleanser or lotion after you shave to get rid of dirt and bacteria and to prevent razor burn from occuring.In
addition to raising the likelihood of your developing skin cancer, too much exposure to sunlight can really dry out your skin.
Sunlight is helpful because it infuses your skin with Vitamin D but you need to always wear protection when you are going to
go outside. This isn’t just about when you go to the beach or the pool, it’s applicable for whenever you leave the house for
whatever reason you are going to leave the house.
You need to be particularly careful about exposure to the sun during the middle hours of the day, which is when the sun is
strongest.You shouldn’t worry about absolute avoidance of the sun–just be smart during the times when it is sunny and you
are going to be outdoors for a long time.
In conclusion, this article has shown you how to take care of your skin using the skin care tips provided. It is important that
you keep your skin looking its best. It’s not that hard to do. Cleansing and moisturizing your skin is something that you can
do everyday using just a couple minutes.
All you have to do is maintain a healthy diet and take care of your skin in a proper manner. This will ensure the longevity of
your skin for years to come.

A Growing Epidemic –
Obesity In Teenagers And
Children
Professionals and researchers have been watching the growing trend since the 1980s. Young kids, pre-teens and even
teenagers have been slowly and surely gaining more weight and there are severe health consequences to this. Over the last
few decades a ton of research and many studies have been done about this subject.
The one thing that is for sure is that childhood obesity is a major risk factor for several terrible diseases that happen later in
life. The important thing for parents to understand is there is more to the story. Clinically obese and overweight kids are
going to experience effects from their condition long before they mature into adulthood.
There is a wide variety to the medical conditions that are going to be experienced by any young child, preteen or teenager
who is obese. There are many influences, some of which will be genetic in nature. Severely obese children can easily develop
various types of conditions and problems of the joints and bones.
Many times the load bearing joints in particular will develop problems. Stress on the skeleton is particularly prevalent in the
hips, knees, feet and ankles. Typically the kids will experience joint pain in their backs as well as constant low but steady
pressure filled swelling around all of their joints. Kids and teens are very commonly diagnosed with arthritis as well.
Just about any person who is obese suffers from a litany of psychological challenges. When a child feels like they are
constantly abused by their peers it can lead to things like severe stress, poor self esteem, a lack of self confidence and even
self hatred sometimes.
Those are all silent symptoms that obese children and teenagers endure and often without any help. If the situation is
allowed to go on long enough the person dealing with it could even develop sociopathic behaviors. We have no data about
the number of obese high school students who go on to attend college.
Our guess is that the number is relatively small and that there are quite a lot more obese high school kids than college kids.
Who can really blame them, though when they might be imagining more years of abuse and torture. There are many
products available in market as well as online. You can check wrinkle cream review and buy products according to your skin.
Childhood Obesity – The Terrible
Outlook for The Future
The process of socialization and development of a human’s personality and individuality gets a lot faster during the teen
years. Not only that but body image development is particularly fragile during the teen years. Developing normally in these
areas is particularly hard for teens who are obese.
This means that when the teen leaves high school he or she will be at severe developmental disadvantages. It will be harder
for most of them to compete and succeed by normally accepted standards.
If you are a teen or adult who suffers from obesity, it is important to talk to someone who is informed and qualified to help
you with your condition. You should become educated about the causes of your condition. Alternatively, something can be
done about it and you are never too late to try to work back toward good health.

How to Practice Proper
Baby Skin Care
It’s pretty easy to practice baby skin care but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t familiarize yourself with at least a few
basic techniques.
Most of this stuff is common sense, like keeping your baby out of harsh weather and keeping him both dry and warm.
However, there are a few less obvious facts to keep in mind as well, such as not over washing or bathing an infant. Keep

Frostbite will usually only happen in extreme weather but frost nip is very common. This condition occurs when the
temperatures drop and babies are particularly susceptible to it. Frost nip happens mostly on toes, fingers and ears–which are
especially delicate on babies.
Your primary means of defense for your baby is to keep these parts of the body covered when the temperatures get cold.
Warm socks and mittens and a hat are essential when going outside and riding in a car. A warm blanket can also help,
whether you’re going outside or staying in. It is a good idea, in general, to be watchful over any area of your baby’s skin
particularly when it is cold.
You need to keep a careful watch out because it doesn’t take very long at all for a skin irritation to develop. One of the most
effective actions you can do to your baby’s skin is a massage.You can check anti wrinkle cream reviews online and buy from
there for your child skin as these are good for child body.
You will be achieving a couple of things by doing this; the first is a soothing occasion for your baby and also strengthening
your relationship. It’s also very good for the skin. Given the soothing ability of baby oil; you will want to tenderly massage it
in before you bathe them or they retire for the night.
It doesn’t get much better than a soothing massage before bed. You have to find the right touch, which is gentle but not so
light as to tickle your baby. You should start massaging the body from the feet and move upwards. You will need to be in
tune with your baby’s needs when it comes to how much and how long you need to maintain massage with your child.
Babies are extremely susceptible to negative weather circumstances. Given that the weather may play a crucial role in your
baby’s health; you need to make sure they are not exposed to any of these situations. If the weather is sunny, you would
be well advised in donning a hat on your baby or protecting them in whatever way is necessary.
One of the best protectors from the sun when it comes to babies is a good quality sunscreen. If you have a newborn, the
rules are even stricter when it comes to sunlight. When traveling in a vehicle, protect your baby from drafty windows.
The idea of wind blowing in on you may appeal to you, but will probably not to your child. The same is true when indoors, so
be aware of fans, air conditioners or electric heaters that could cause problems to your baby’s skin.
After you have read these baby skin care tips, you should use them with your baby. It will help you avoid skin problems that
may manifest. At the same time, most babies have certain issues such as diaper rash, eczema or sometimes acne, so
there’s no need to panic if this happens. Ask your pediatrician for advice for skin problems, and do your best to keep your
baby comfortable and protected.

Acne Insight –
Understanding What Acne
Is All About
Do you have acne? Perhaps you have had this once before or maybe all of your life. Not everyone knows how to treat
acne, or prevent it from happening. If you do have this skin condition, there are some general rules that you should follow
that may help with your particular situation. They can be very easy to handle acne, especially using a few useful tips along
the way.
Acne is not usually a serious condition medically, but it can often do quite a bit of emotional damage to people. It’s well
known that teenagers can feel self conscious and ashamed of acne. but adults too can be very concerned about their
appearance.
In fact, acne can sometimes lead to serious psychological problems such as low self esteem or depression. Acne can also
bring emotional imbalance. You may know someone that has acne and you should never ignore them, especially when they
are feeling more depressed than usual. Just remember that once you find the right treatment for your acne, it will gradually
go away.
You should seek counseling for any emotional difficulties that you may have as a result of having acne in your life. We’re
often told to wash and stay as clean as possible when we have acne. The problem is not with the cleaning of your skin, but
doing it too much which causes additional problems.
You should know that dirt, by the way, does not actually cause acne to happen. Excess oil, as well as too much bacteria in
your skin, can cause acne to form – not dirt! Cleaning is a good idea! However, if you clean your skin too much, especially if
you use something abrasive, you can aggravate your skin to overproduce oil and bacteria which will cause acne to develop.
If your face breaks out when you wash it, you are being too rough and need to lighten up. Finding the right balance is the
secret to your success. Washing with mild soap, just two times a day, usually works fine. Find lots of tip and anti wrinkle
cream reviews here and select best cream for you.
Little-known Strategies And Tips
Related To Acne
Exposure to the elements, especially excessive exposure to the heat or cold, can cause imbalances that may lead to your
acne condition. Acne can actually get worse because of the elements which is why you want to protect your skin when you
can. Sunblock should be used if you are going to be in the sun for any extended period of time.
The excessive heat from the sun may actually cause inflammations to arise, leading to more acne, and not less. Your acne
can actually be exacerbated by oil-based sunblock so avoid using this particular kind. People that are going to spend time in
cold windy weather should always use something to protect their face like a scarf.
Acne is often the result of stress, over-eating due to stress, and many people could stand to get more sleep and balance
their diet.

treating your condition.
It can be challenging to get rid of acne permanently, but with the right approach you can certainly bring it under control. Do
some research on your own, and try some natural remedies. If all else fails, see a dermatologist and get a prescription for
something that can help.
My #1 Overall Skin Cream Recommendation
What Causes
Wrinkles,
Anyway? How
Wrinkles, Lines
and Sagging Skin
Form
We’re all familiar with the motherly expressions discouraging improper facial movements for the sake of preventing wrinkles
and lines:
“Your face will freeze like that!”
“Don’t make that face! You’ll get
wrinkles.”
“It takes more muscles to frown than it
does to smile.”
As an adult, you’ve no doubt asked yourself if any of those sayings were true. In other words, what causes wrinkles and
lines on the face, and how do wrinkles form? Technically termed “rhytides,” facial lines and wrinkles form for a variety of
reasons. The major causes of facial lines and wrinkles are addressed here, starting with:
Deep Lines
When it comes to your frown lines and furrowed brows, mom was right. Most deep lines (sometimes called “furrows”) are
formed by facial muscle activity over time. These are classified as “dynamic” lines. Other facial lines are “static,” which
means they are unchanged by muscle movement and will simply stay the way they have formed. Eventually, dynamic lines
become static; so yes, at some point these furrows will become permanent.
If desired, deep lines can be temporarily corrected with facial injectables. Your options include Botox ®, which blocks
(“paralyzes”) the contraction of the offending facial muscle, smoothing the skin and erasing the lines. Facial fillers on the
other hand, such as Restylane ® or Juvederm ®, fill in the line with a hyaluronic acid formula suspended in a dermatologist-
grade gel. Any of these injectable solutions must be repeated over time in order to maintain their results.
Fine Lines
Conversely, when fine lines form they may not necessarily be attributed to facial movement at all. Instead, they often arise
because of irregular thickening of the dermis, or because of a decrease in the amount of water held by the epidermis. This
effect is often linked to factors such as sun damage and exposure to environmental toxins (most often, cigarette smoke).
Fine lines can form nearly anywhere on the face, but many people find they are concentrated on areas where the skin is
naturally delicate, such as the cheeks, curves of the mouth, and corners of the eyes.
Possible treatment options for fine lines include facial injectables designed specifically for fine lines, such as Radiesse®. The
product is comprised of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, suspended in a dermatologist-grade gel. Doctors
may recommend other injectables as well. Of course, you can also reduce the risk of fine lines forming by limiting sun
exposure and avoiding smoking. Even if fine lines have already started forming, there’s still time to become proactive about
the health of your skin.
Sags and Bags
Unlike deep lines and fine lines, the risk of which can be reduced by a person’s own efforts, skin laxity (technically termed
“ptosis”) is primarily linked to the aging process. As people age, there is a gradual reduction of the fat cells under the skin
(subcutaneous tissue). Other natural occurrences include a decrease in collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis, which reduce
the skin’s strength and elasticity.
Of course, gravity is also a factor; this inevitable component pulls the lax tissue down over time. The accumulation of facial
fat, such as jowls, leads to a loss of a defined jaw line/neck line; this causes the lower part of the face to look “baggy.”
Excess fat around the eyes can also accumulate, causing bags around the eyes. While sags and bags are not wrinkles, they
are a by-product of aging that many people would like to eliminate.
Treatment options for facial sagging do not include facial injectables; these treatments are only appropriate for lines and
wrinkles – sagging cannot be “frozen” or “filled in.” However, the visibility of facial sagging can be effectively addressed with
facelift surgery. The procedure, “rhytidectomy ,” involves removing sagging skin and trimming away excess fat, then lifting
the skin to a tighter position to rejuvenate the entire appearance. In many cases, facelift surgery can cause a person to look
at least 10 to 15 years younger.
Aging Gracefully: Conclusions and Solutions
Today, we understand a lot more about how wrinkles form, what causes facial lines, and why sagging skin occurs. More
importantly, we have more knowledge regarding how to prevent wrinkles or how to delay their onset as much as possible;
and, while we know that nothing can prevent gravity from taking its toll on the face, there is a solution for those who want
it. If you are interested in any of the treatment options above, please discuss them with a qualified, board certified plastic
surgeon.
I had a significant skin infection that I came
to see them for in September 2015. I made
an appointment at their new offices. I had to
come back at least 3-4 times because the
treatments weren't working and they
weren't sure what was causing the lesions
on my face, arms torso. I saw Dr. DeLuca
whom I really liked, but wasn't getting
results. She called in Dr. Kane for a consult
and I was looking forward to meeting her as
she heads the group. I was shocked at how
rude and condescending Dr. Kane was,
especially to another healthcare
professional. I've worked for many years in
research with doctors of many different
specialties and I must say I was very
unimpressed with her and she is one of the
rudest doctors I've ever worked with and
trust me when I say I've worked with a few
very rude, egotistical ones as well as many
great ones. You couldn't pay me to see Dr.
Kane again for any complicated or
significant dermatological problem. Do
yourself a favor and make the drive to the
Dermatology group at Scripp's Clinic in La
Jolla for excellent care. This group is fine
for simple, cosmetic dermatology if you do
not mind having a revolving door of
dermatologists treating you. I would go
back to see Dr. DeLuca for laser, however
Dr. Kane left such a bad impression that I
doubt I would go back when there are so
many other good dermatology groups
available. Was this review …? Dr. Joanna
Chan, receives the 5 Stars rating and Laser
Skin Care Center is fortunate to have on
staff, a knowledgable; highly intelligent;
caring & concerned adult; with tremendous
likability. She has been my favorite care
provider for five years - from her down-to-
earth patient approach to her mild
mannered methods - she cares and shows
concern. We aren' talking icing here. But
more, the counseling; post-op wound care;
stable laser hands; and skill injecting botox,
juvederm; and sculptra aesthetic. Her
insistence, sometimes after office hours
and over weekends, remind this bruiser to
avoid aspirin and ingest arnicare - she truly
is committed to improving her patient's
health and their strong, positive outlook.
Her wisdom is beyond Harvard Teachings
& Fellowship Hands-On Training but in
genuine and not rushed, examinations and
consultations. She alone identified on my
head, and strongly suggested surgical
removal of a congenital epithelial cyst. A
growth many other Doctors over years
hadn't diagnosed. Laser Skin Care isn't all
about cosmetic but genuine and
professional patient wellness. It is
unfortunate that some see it as a spa and
the medical trained professionals as
beauticians. They deserve recognition for
the esteem degrees they have earned.
Came here to see Dr. DeLuca to have
some skin tags removed. Her price was the
best I could find and she came highly
recommended by mom who recently visited
her for the same thing. She was running
behind on her patients and I ended up
having to wait over an hour to see her,
which was quite unpleasant. However, she
was very apologetic and she was so
thorough and took her time. I appreciated
her not making me feel rushed even
though she was so behind. She was so
friendly and I will definitely be seeing her for
all my future dermatology needs. Was this
review …? We visited Dr. Nguyen today for
my 15-year-old daughter's acne, which she
has had for many years and has done all
sorts of treatments. I specifically explained
that a previous dermatologist prescribed
about six different medications all at the
same time, and the uncomfortable side
effects (red skin, peeling, extreme sun
sensitivity, etc.) were just as bad as the
acne. More recently she has been using a
single topical medication with adequate
results. There is room to improve her skin,
but we specifically wanted a conservative
approach in order to determine what was
working and which side effects were
tolerable. Dr. Nguyen smiled and shrugged
and said that really the current approach is
just to throw all the drugs in the pharmacy
at the problem or just go ahead and move
to Accutane. I reiterated what we wanted
several times but it was like talking to a
smiling brick wall. Ultimately we left with a
bunch of prescriptions and I told Dr.
Nguyen that we would test them
conservatively (not all at the same time) to
see what happened. I think Dr. Nguyen is
right in line with the prescription-heavy
approach of most providers these days.
She is young and doesn't have the
experience dealing with all the acne drugs
that have been around for 30-40 years, so
she is inclined to prescribe the newest,
most expensive drugs (mostly just the
same old drugs in slightly different formulas
that the drug companies use to get a new
patent and charge more.) I was definitely
disturbed when she strongly encouraged
us to use the pharmacy in their building as
it was clear that there was a profit motive
for that recommendation. It's a nice new
office and it's clear they are making money.
The office is new and clean. The parking is
easy and free, and the location is
convenient for us. The medicine is simply
par for the course. I heard the staff quoting
prices for cosmetic procedures on the
phone, so they are probably pretty
competitive for cash business. Was this
review …? Since my last post, I have
visited this wonderful skin care group for
other treatments and they exceed my
expectations! They are a highly
recommended quality skin care medical
group! Excellent physicians who deliver the
best treatment with a caring heart! The
entire office including doctors, RN's,
medical assistants and ancillary staff are
wonderful - they make you feel very
comfortable from the moment you walk

ago at their former location on LB Blvd. Dr.
Chan is my main doctor but I have seen Dr.
Tremaine too. Both physicians gave
excellent screenings, gave detailed
communication for every step of treatment
and there were no surprises. My skin is in
wonderful condition, thanks to them. One of
my skin conditions is Psoriasis. Their
incredible laser technology therapy brought
my 25-year battle of Psoriasis to a halt! I
was skeptical at first, but it works and I am
Psoriasis free! Their Registered Nurse,
Polly has advanced training in laser
technology (Psoriasis and other issues).
She is my skin-savior and I am no longer
embarrassed by my Psoriasis patches. For
the first summer in a long time, I'm showing
skin! This first-class medical group usually
can get busy, however the longest wait time
I've experienced has been 10-15 minutes.

and only her with all my skin care needs. I
really don't know where I would be without
her. Was this review …? The doctors are
very through and very knowledgable but
have never seen the doctor even close to
my scheduled appointment time. Be
prepared to wait 20-50 minutes past your
scheduled appointment time for the doctor.

appointment of the day. The doctors are
very good 5 stars but my time is just as
important as theirs. Was this review …?

comes to my skin and she has been able to
catch many of my moles that need to be
removed before they spread. Although the

Employee 4/6/2016 Lisa, thank you! It is
patients like you that make us love what we
do! Worst experience I have ever had in a
medical office. I was made to wait an hour
after my appointment time. I was lied to
twice about my appointment time and then
when I brought this to their attention, I was
just put in another room to wait longer. I
had to leave before I was even seen so I
went to the receptionist to make sure I
would not be billed and I was not
apologized to. They did not try to fix it on
the spot, she just said she would make
sure I wasn't billed. During this time, the
doctor I was supposed to see came out and
asked if she could take my appointment
then. I unfortunately had to leave since it
was over an hour after my scheduled
appointment time! This was the worst
experience I have ever had in a medical
office and the worst customer service I've
ever received and the worst blatant
disrespect for my time. These people
should not be in business. Was this review
…? I had a good experience coming here.
Maybe it helps to have a morning
appointment because I did not have to wait
long at all. I saw Dr. Anne Marie Tremaine.
She listened, took time to talk, and it didn't
feel rushed. The only thing I thought about
afterwards was that when I have seen other
dermatologists they have looked over my
face with one of those lights to see if there
were any problem areas or concerns. She
didn't do this, but her recommendations to
help me clear up my skin were very helpful
and I have had minimal breakouts since. I
really want to go back for botox now! Was

Owner So, after we filmed our TL;DR, we
were curious about something. In Korea,
people protect themselves from the sun. I
wonder if their skin cancer rates are lower
as a result. We asked Soo Zee to look into
this, and here’s what she found: That’s the
list of the most common cancers in four
countries. Korea, then Japan, then the US,
then the UK. Skin cancer isn’t in the top ten
in either Korea or Japan, but 5th and 4th in
the US and UK, respectively. Coincidence?
Anyhow, speaking of skin cancer, we
mentioned in our video a bit about mole
removal and how we got some of ours
removed. You might remember, if you’ve
been around for a while, how we had
bandaids on our faces for a bit. I actually
tried looking for those videos but they’re so
old that I can’t remember. High five to
anyone who does! Point is, we didn’t
remove them for cosmetic purposes, but
because we noticed that they were looking
a bit irregular, and we know that can lead to
health complications in the future. I also
had one on my chin, and at least five times
a month, I’d cut it open while shaving. So,
we went to a dermatologist to get some of
them removed. Quick, easy, painless, and
TEN BUCKS! That’s it! It was ten bucks a
mole. And we didn’t need an appointment
or anything. Just walked in to a place we
were told about and got it done. Then
again, procedures in Korea are pretty
cheap compared to procedures elsewhere,
probably because there are dermatologists
and clinics just about everywhere. Hell,
across the street from us, where all the
chicken shops are located, there’s a
dermatology shop on the third floor. Great
location! Feel like chicken? How about
stopping by for some laser hair removal
first? Great plan! Anyhow, let us know what
skin care is like where you’re from. Are we
wrong in thinking that people take better
care of their skin here in Korea than in
North America? Do you wear sunblock on
your face every day? How cautious are
your friends about sun damage? We’d love
to hear if it’s just a Korea thing! Oh! One
last thing we forgot to mention: a really
cheap and easy way that Koreans take
care of their skin so they can stay looking
young and beautiful is – how could I have
forgotten to mention this? – by clicking on
the subscribe button below. Oh man! It’s so
good for your health! I use a skin “lightener”
now but that’s because I’m old and have
sun damage. I think maybe if they called it
lightener instead of whitener, often they are
called “fade” creams. I use one that has
been around for years and marketed to
African Americans. Black women I work
with have used these products for years.
Not to be white but to diminish the look of
acne scars and even out their skin tone.
I’ve been using one on my face and tops of
my hands now for several years. I mix it in
with my moisturizer even though you can
buy it now with a moisturizer in it. I also use
BB cream but BB cream in the U.S. hasn’t
caught on and doesn’t have a skin
lightener. It’s basically a tinted moisturizer
with 15 SPF. I’ve started using an SPF
moisturizer on my entire body every day
now. I have no desire to bake in the sun
and never really did. I do still have sun
damage anyway. Believe me it makes a
huge difference a few years down the road
how much sun you get. You may not notice
until you hit your 40s. Here in Portugal is
BURN! The toastier you look the better (or
at least that’s what the majority of the
population seem to think). You can find
tanning salons very easily and the trips to
the dermatologist are mostly made to
treat/remove skin imperfections. Luckily for
me, this year there have been more rainy
days than sunny ones so people are whiter
than usual. As a naturally pale girl (that’s
been taking better care of her skin recently)
i don’t feel like the white part of an oreo
cookie whenever i walk around anymore
XD The tanning culture is very real in the
states. I have a few friends who still use
tanning beds (the coffin ones that are
guaranteed to give you cancer). I’ll never
understand that. But I’ll admit that because
I don’t naturally tan, when I go to the beach
I’ll slap on a boat load of self tanner before
putting on sunscreen. I’m from the
Netherlands and having a bit of a tan is
considered healthy here and having white
legs or arms with shorts/dress whatever is
kind of considered ugly quite a lot. So many
people spend a fortune on tanning spray,
tanning salons or spend hours baking in
the sun. As for myself I’m really pale and
people have asked me if I’m sick when I
wasn’t and last year someone made a
comment my legs can glow in the dark
because they are so white. I take sun
protection seriously. During summer or
sunny days I always use sunblock with a
high SPF as body lotion and apply a special
face cream with a high SPF on my face and
my normal face cream does contain a bit of
SPF too. There is no way I go outside
unprotected when it’s very sunny because I
turn into a lobster very quickly. I tried
tanning spray because people said I should
give it a try but that turned me into a cow so
I just stay pale and I’m happy with it. I also
have a slight allergy to the sun so no the
sun isn’t my best friend. Ohh and people
always think I’m at least 7-8 years younger
then I actually am, no wrinkles what so ever
yet. Here in the US, I have been having a
problem watching YouTube videos
because of a problem with Google
Syndication (or something). I did a search
and found that Windows 8 has an Add-On
that blocks Google. I added this block and
now have no problems watching YouTube
videos. However, I wonder if this block
affects EatYourKimchi rankings as I am no
longer shown by Google as watching your
videos. I do not want to take the bread from
your mouths. What should I do? In
Australia since we are so multicultural for
those who do want tan skin, its either bake
it or fake it. But the general consensus is a
tan is healthy and pasty is bleh… Vitamin D
deficiency? Id rather take supplements than
take chemo thank you very much I read
about that recently…I think they have linked
that with a bacteria present in the human
intestinal tract but some people are
genetically predisposed to have higher
concentrations which can lead to stomach
cancer….Something like that…I’ll see if I
can find the article again…. I don’t think
that cheap razors can cause acne. You
might get ingrown hairs or irritated sweat
glands on your chin from cheap/dull razors
and using just water though and that’s very
similar to acne. You should tell him that
even a cheap double blade (Gillette/Bick)
and some Noxema instead of shaving
cream would be awesome on anyone’s skin
and not cause “girly” stigma ;) Cheap
razors (plus my friend’s crappy shaving
regimen) irritate the skin/follicles through
razor burn and introduce bacteria, which
can then result in acne. Plus he had some
acne before to start with, and then he ends
up slicing his pus-filled pimples open,
resulting in somewhat of a ripple effect
around the original pimple. Yum! Ah yes
there is a lot of obaasans protecting their
skin in Japan the same way they do it in
Korea. Sometimes they look a bit scary with
their face covered… I always feel out of
place when I’m wearing my t-shirt and they
have their umbrellas, etc… I wear
sunscreen when I know I’m gonna be long
time in the sun because I might get red,
especially my nose. But I’m not that used to
do it I guess because in Finland the sun is
not that deadly since… winter is dark and
all. And I just don’t go out that often. XD
Sucky thing is that I do want to protect my
skin but sunscreen is kinda sticky and
those arm sleeve things seem hot… I
sweat more than Asians so no can do! OTL
Funny thing about tanning though. As a kid
I wanted a nice tan but as I got into visual
kei and saw those beautiful men with milky
skin, I wanted to have one too. My dad still
keeps saying every summer to me that I
should go out and get tanned and I’m like
NO!! I’m a girl from Poland (cześć) and I
started taking care of my skin when I
started listening to kpop and getting into
korean culture. I went to a beauty salon (?)
and got my face cleaned and the lady told
me to what kind of skin type I really have
etc. but I didn’t really know or care about it
earlier. People in Poland go to
dermathologist when they have a real
problem with their skin, but I think going to
beauty salon to have your pimples popped
is quite common, especially with teenagers.
But sunscreens? SPF face creams? Not
very common in daily use. And as for
tanning – usually after summer holiday
people would talk about it, but it’s not a
thing here… Hi from Australia! here all
through school they hammer Slip Slop Slap
(Shirt, sunscreen, hat) but asides from my
sister and I know one i know does the sun
protection thing. We love our beaches and
sunbaking (frying) too much. Apparently tho
scientist recently discovered that the sun
on skin produces endorphines, which
means you can legitamately be addicted to
the sun! Oooh let me hop in the sun and
get my fix But look now you can Drink. your
sunscreen. Eeeww? I had a really funny
encounter last year with some korean
exchange students from Seoul and Busan.
They asked me where they can buy these
kind of sleeves Simon and Martina are
talking about here in Germany. I told them
that this is a korean thing and something
like that isn´t available here. They were so
mind blown and shoked and didn´t believe
me haha. You should have seen their
faces, really it was hilarious…its really a
funny story…. People in Japan too are
definitely more aware of skin health than
back home in the States. Tanning is
definitely a no no. Even on hot days I see
people walking around with jackets on to
cover up their skin. I’m not sure if people in
Japan see dermatologists as often as
people do in Korea. I’ve definitely seen a lot
of acne though. I wondered about products
with “whitening” on the label. Thanks for
clarifying ^^ I’m always amazed by the vast
number of skin and beauty care products in
Japan/Korea. I just wish some of those
products would be sold in the US. BB
cream, for example, is really lacking in the
US. I’m quite pale so even if I buy the
lightest shade it is too dark for me. The last
time I went to Etude House they gave me a
bb cream sample to try and halleluiah it
was like the perfect fit for me. I’m really
going to miss skin care products here OTL I
wish visiting the dermatologist was cheap
here in the States. I can’t even see one
because my family’s insurance doesn’t
cover it. Instead, I have to consult with my
doctor about my skin. When I was in Korea
this past summer, I was so self-conscious
about my complexion since I had so many
crater-like acne scars and everyone had
nice skin. I’ve become more consistent
about having a skin regime though, thanks
to Korea. But being from America, being
tan is still the trend, even amongst my
Asian friends. I live in America and I think a
lot of people here, especially guys, don’t
really care so much about their skin. I don’t
know anyone who goes to a dermatologist
unless they have an issue, and I can only
think of 1 guy who takes care of his skin!
(Happens to be my boyfriend, lol. He tries
to take care of himself, which I think every
human being should, male or female. I
spend way longer on skincare, but at least
he uses face washes). As far as sunblock, I
refuse to go outside without sunblock at
least on my face. I tend to wear jackets all
the time, so I’m pretty much covered. I also
rarely go outside xD But I’m the only one in
my circle of friends/family that will put
sunscreen on every day, even if it’s cloudy.
Since my eighteenth I’m wearing sunblock
with SPF50+ PA+++. Yes, I’m bloody pale
because of that, but I don’t mind. Since I’m
protecting my skin from the sun, I’ve had
less acne and my skin looks better and
healthier overall. And as you guys
mentioned: my face won’t look old and
saggy when I’m hitting 35. With just putting
on some sunblock every day you can make
so much difference. It’s not a hard thing to
do and you’ll be grateful in the future. My
best friend was born in the Philippines, lives
in Texas- and whenever she returns to
Cebu for a visit her grandmother gushes
about how beautiful it is that she is so pale.
During the visit the grandmother has
someone following her around with an
umbrella to make sure that she doesn’t get
any darker. I don’t know if it is a beauty
standard or a class standard- she doesn’t
want her getting dark because it is
considered less pretty or because you only
get dark if you are poor enough to have to
work outside and theirs is a well-off family-
but its definitely a generation thing- her
mom and dad don’t care if she gets a little
browner in the summer, but it freaks her
grandmother out. I’m an Asian American
from LA and honestly didn’t think about
protecting my skin from SUNNY DEATH
RAYS OF DEATH until college. In high
school I would never wear shorts because I
had such pale skin and my classmates
would tease me about being unhealthy or
having “engineer’s tan”. My mom on the
other hand, made me shower in sunscreen,
because “cancer! bad skin! wrinkles!
SUNNY DEATH RAYS OF DEATH!”. So it
might be a cultural thing, where one culture
values the “healthy, tan” look and another
values…health? haha Thanks for doing a
tl;dr on this! I think it’s time I really put some
effort into nicer skin. Vancouver Laser &

More This is a high volume factory run by
doctors who are not dermatologists, and
you will receive results and service
accordingly. The filler that I received for my
lips was very poorly done. They try to tell
you that Dr. Susan Braun is a "genius" with
fillers, but her work was substandard. I
have since had my lips filled by a plastic
surgeon (you know, someone with actual
advanced medical training for the face) and
the results are dramatically better. Not only
does she not have an eye for natural
looking results, but the service you will
receive if something goes wrong is horrible!
When my botox went wrong, I was very
frustrated to not be able to get a straight
answer about which specific injection (I had
botox in 3 different areas) had caused it.
They didn't know and eventually suggested
that the absurd deformity of my expression
had always been there. Meanwhile my
friends were asking me what happened to
my face! (And don't even dream of a refund
or discount.) You know, things can
sometimes go wrong with these
procedures, so it's not that that I'm most
upset about. It's the way it was handled.
They are only concerned with making
money and the doctors are very
unprofessional. On the other hand, I did
find most of the technicians to be kind,
friendly and professional. Bottom line, I
have learned my lesson and will only trust a
board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic
dermatologist with my face from now on.
You might think botox and fillers are no big
deal, but in the wrong hands you will waste
your money or end up with unnatural and
embarrassing results. Yes, those certified
doctors with advanced training do cost
more, but it's worth it. I will not be returning
here. Amazing experience. Everyone from

months, but be careful it's addictive! Dr

There comes a time when every woman
needs to come to terms with aging.
Watching my skin wrinkle easier has been
a horrifying experience, AGING
APPARENTLY DOES HAPPEN contrary to
what I believed in my teens and early 20's.
This is where Dr. Braun comes in. I wanted
all the things injected into my face to STOP
THE WRINKLES. I filled out a form for
things I was interested in (EVERYTHING)
and had a consult with a very attractive
woman with smooth skin (she looks great
so I am on board here). I decided to get
Botox and Juvederm done, and
immediately noticed AMAZING results.
There's a stigma about people getting
botox and fillers; YOU WILL NOT LOOK
LIKE ONE OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES
OR JOAN RIVERS unless you get super
cray about it. Dr. Braun isn't the kind of guy
who will inject your face with things you
don't need; I wanted to get my lips done
and he was like you don't need it, but
looked at my roommate and told her she
could probably use some. The doctor is
honest with what you need and what you
don't. He know's what he's doing, and he
honestly made my face look 1000000x
better. I coulnd't give this a positive enough
review. This place is super awesome. I'm
going back soon to have the veins in my
face lasered away. I look 24 because of this
place. Miracles. I had gone there a severals

had gone there a severals time until one
time when susan braun did my botox
treatment for my forehead. About 3 weeks
after that i could still see the lines and they
didnt disappear! So i called to book an appt
with Dr. Martin Braun(who always did my
treatments). So initially i did 16 units and i
paid a higher price per unit, wheras if you
get 25 units or more you get a better deal.
Anyways i went in and Dr Martin did an
extra 16 units Nd i also got a filler for mu
laugh lines. When i was done i realized that
they should give me the price for 25 units
or more, because it wasnt my fault and Dr
Susan told me 16 units would be enough.
So i mentioned this at the desk when i was
paying and the lady whos in charge named
Rhonda was extremely rude to me and told
me that they're not able to re adjust the
price. So i had a little argument with her out
of frustration and said that this is not
customer friendly, and just paid the regular
price and left. About a week ago i called to
make an appt to see dr braun cuz two big
indents have formed on my forhead now
that botox went away. So the girl booked
me an appt. half an hour later Rhonda
called snd said we dont want you here and
this and that. I gave these people so much
business and refferals. I cant believe they
are this rude. Dont go here, at one point
you will get disappointed. They charge u big
bucks and treat u like S--t. View More

Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre
Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre I
wasn't able to visit my usual place for
Brazilian laser hair removal, so I went here
instead because of how conveniently
located they are (Fairmont Medical
Building) and competitively priced. My
appointment was for LightSheer Duet (as
advertised on their website at the time) but
at the consultation I was disappointed to
hear they had just switched to the Fontona
laser. I didn't appreciate not hearing about
this change before (it felt like a bait-and-
switch) but since I was due for a session I
went ahead with it. The technician was
thorough, professional, and friendly. The
service and ambience is very good and
pricing is highly competitive. I plan on
returning to LightSheer Duet but was
pleased with my visit here otherwise and
would consider them for other services.

manner they will not refund your money but
they will offer you more costly procedures

After juvederm injection to upper cheek &
around the mouth, I was left with two big
rashes which didn't go away for a year.
After 2 days, my cheeks & mouth got
droopy, smile is croocked, I lost all fat I had
in my face before juvederm injection & I'm a
young person. Doctor didn't want to see me
but right away nurse figured out they screw
up something. They partially refund my
money however my self-confidence & life
turned upside down. My face never
returned to what it was. They hit my facial
nerve & I saw a neurologist who said since
my nerves didn't regenerate over past year,
I'm stuck with it or I should pay to get
surgery! It was my first time doing
something with my face and left disfigured.

found that doctors and nurses in this
business are only gridy sale ppl, not health
care providers. It's really scarey. Had a
horrible experience with filler, waste of
money and left me with scar and bruise and
swollen face for a week. you will look worse
and older after the products wear off. in my
case right after the injection. Be careful.
Read more Was this review …? This is a
high volume factory run by doctors who are
not dermatologists, and you will receive
results and service accordingly. The filler
that I received for my lips was very poorly
done. They try to tell you that Dr. Susan
Braun is a "genius" with fillers, but her work
was substandard. I have since had my lips
filled by a plastic surgeon (you know,
someone with actual advanced medical
training for the face) and the results are
dramatically better. Not only does she not
have an eye for natural looking results, but
the service you will receive if something
goes wrong is horrible! When my botox
went wrong, I was very frustrated to not be
able to get a straight answer about which
specific injection (I had botox in 3 different
areas) had caused it. They didn't know and
eventually suggested that the absurd
deformity of my expression had always
been there. Meanwhile my friends were
asking me what happened to my face! (And
don't even dream of a refund or discount.)
You know, things can sometimes go wrong
with these procedures, so it's not that that
I'm most upset about. It's the way it was
handled. They are only concerned with
making money and the doctors are very
unprofessional. On the other hand, I did
find most of the technicians to be kind,
friendly and professional. Bottom line, I
have learned my lesson and will only trust a
board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic
dermatologist with my face from now on.
You might think botox and fillers are no big
deal, but in the wrong hands you will waste
your money or end up with unnatural and
embarrassing results. Yes, those certified
doctors with advanced training do cost
more, but it's worth it. I will not be returning
here. Was this review …? Amazing
experience. Everyone from the front desk
to a end procedure,treatment was so nice!
Very knowledgeable the treatment itself
was literally no pain at all I have had
treatments (Botox ) in the past but it was
way more painful.I don't have enough kind
words to say to describe this place
everybody was just amazing. Highly
recommended. Was this review …? I have
a scar and I went here to see what options I
had. It is $100 for a consultation where they
do tests on your skin, however this amount
will be used towards a procedure, if you
choose to have one done. I paid around
375 for Juvederm which is reasonable
since it lasts around 4-5 months, but be
careful it's addictive! Dr Braun is very nice
however does not seem very genuine. The
staff become friendlier as you return for
more visits and spend more money! Was
this review …? There comes a time when
every woman needs to come to terms with
aging. Watching my skin wrinkle easier has
been a horrifying experience, AGING
APPARENTLY DOES HAPPEN contrary to
what I believed in my teens and early 20's.
This is where Dr. Braun comes in. I wanted
all the things injected into my face to STOP
THE WRINKLES. I filled out a form for
things I was interested in (EVERYTHING)
and had a consult with a very attractive
woman with smooth skin (she looks great
so I am on board here). I decided to get
Botox and Juvederm done, and
immediately noticed AMAZING results.
There's a stigma about people getting
botox and fillers; YOU WILL NOT LOOK
LIKE ONE OF THE REAL HOUSEWIVES
OR JOAN RIVERS unless you get super
cray about it. Dr. Braun isn't the kind of guy
who will inject your face with things you
don't need; I wanted to get my lips done
and he was like you don't need it, but
looked at my roommate and told her she
could probably use some. The doctor is
honest with what you need and what you
don't. He know's what he's doing, and he
honestly made my face look 1000000x
better. I coulnd't give this a positive enough
review. This place is super awesome. I'm
going back soon to have the veins in my
face lasered away. I look 24 because of this
place. Miracles. Was this review …? I had
gone there a severals time until one time
when susan braun did my botox treatment
for my forehead. About 3 weeks after that i
could still see the lines and they didnt
disappear! So i called to book an appt with
Dr. Martin Braun(who always did my
treatments). So initially i did 16 units and i
paid a higher price per unit, wheras if you
get 25 units or more you get a better deal.
Anyways i went in and Dr Martin did an
extra 16 units Nd i also got a filler for mu
laugh lines. When i was done i realized that
they should give me the price for 25 units
or more, because it wasnt my fault and Dr
Susan told me 16 units would be enough.
So i mentioned this at the desk when i was
paying and the lady whos in charge named
Rhonda was extremely rude to me and told
me that they're not able to re adjust the
price. So i had a little argument with her out
of frustration and said that this is not
customer friendly, and just paid the regular
price and left. About a week ago i called to
make an appt to see dr braun cuz two big
indents have formed on my forhead now
that botox went away. So the girl booked
me an appt. half an hour later Rhonda
called snd said we dont want you here and
this and that. I gave these people so much
business and refferals. I cant believe they
are this rude. Dont go here, at one point
you will get disappointed. They charge u big
bucks and treat u like S--t. Was this review
…? I have had bad skin pretty much all my
life. Acne, brown spots/freckles, UV
damage, red blotches, dry/oily/combination
skin etc. I have tried many different
products, and even doctor prescribed
products etc. Nothing really made a lasting
difference or created noticeable change. I
even once contemplated taking accutane
(and thank god I didn't - the side effects
sounded awful). I did some online research,
and started to investigate the idea of
microdermabrasion and
photorejuvenation/IPL lazer therapy - and
those treatments seemed to be the answer
to all of my skin woes. Then I did some
research on the various clinics/spas in town
- and the Vancouver Lazer Skin Care
Centre stood out for 2 main reasons: 1)
They have real dermatologists (doctors)
working there. 2) All technicians are
qualified/trained, and extremely polite and
professional. The Vancouver Lazer Skin
Care Centre isn't like some random salon
crap that you can find on Groupon. This is
the real deal, almost a *celebrity* feeling
kind of experience. After a few visits to the
centre, I was totally impressed. So much so
that I decided to write a review. First
impression: all of the staff is absolutely
gorgeous, with gorgeous (but not phoney-
looking) skin, which I took as a good first
sign. The office itself is clean, organized,
and the waiting room even had recent
magazines that you actually want to read
(which I value, I hate Macleans). The
bathrooms are beautiful, clean, have lit
candles and individual hand towels. While
the office looks posh, the prices are very
reasonable - and you can buy treatments in
packages to help you save money. And
because they are treating my FACE, I didn't
want to "cheap out". When it comes to my
face, I want quality care and results. On the
first visit, the staff took detailed
photographs of the condition of my skin (a
real eye opener that was), and I was given
a consultation with the doctor, who
recommend personalized treatments for
me and answered all of my questions. The
IPL lazer and microdermabrasion was one
of the best experiences ever. I started to
see results in about 4 days, and I will be
going back for more treatments. The entire
process was virtually painless (and actually
kinda fun), and I was informed every step of
the way. The equipment used was safe and
clean and I felt very comfortable. I am so
excited to see what can be done - even at
my age (mid-30's. sigh). If you have
struggled with skin issues, or if are looking
a bit "weathered", just do something nice
for yourself. I did, and it is totally worthwhile.
Was this review …? I have been a client
here for years and I would never go
anywhere else for any type of laser. The
most professional (and discreet) clinic staff
I have ever encountered and the clinic itself
is immaculate and clean. Pricey, but I'm not
sure what anyone would expect for such a
specialized service. If you refer a friend,
make sure to tell the friend to tell the staff.
Was this review …? I have no reservations
in recommending Drs. Martin and Susan
Braun and their professional and friendly
staff. I have been a patient of Vancouver
Laser and Skin Care since 2002. The one
thing I was not 100% satisfied with was my
Scuptra treatment. I believe it left bumps
near my cheek bone that look as if they are
bone themselves. Two of three doctors I
have consulted believe that it is the Scuptra
as do I since the bumps appeared soon
after I was treated with the Sculptra. I have
had many other treatments at Vancouver
Laser and Skin Care and am very please
with the treatment and the results. The
doctors and staff are very informative and
will go out of their way to accomodate your
needs and concerns. It lifts my day even if I
pop in to pick up some product. It's one of
my "Happy Places". Luv Luv Luv. Sculptra
bump issues now resolved but at my
expense. Was this review …? I recently
visited VLSC for a consultation. And,
although the staff is friendly and extremely
professional, I feel they lacked sensitivity
with respect to people with skin tones other
than caucasian. I have had lightsheer laser
therapy performed on my skin before (in
other areas). The area I wanted to work on
had medium-fine coarseness of hair, and is
dark enough to be treated by lightsheer -
my skin tone is not dark and there is
enough of a difference for the treatment to
be successful. However, the consultant
categorized me as skin type V and said
they would not be able to treat me with
lightsheer. After I saw the consultant, I did
some research online for what is typically
categorized as skin type V - and the people
in this category are fairly darker than my
skin tone. I almost feel as if she just looked
at me, my ethnicity and automatically
categorized me without taking a closer look
or discussing other options. Textbook
knowledge is great - but you have to have
experience to know what works - and my
prior treatments were 100% successful -
same skin tone, similar hair
type/coarseness, however because they
are not experienced with ethnic skin
variations, I was a little disappointed. I
should add as well, that after the
consultation & doing some research I
discovered that there are other types of
laser that can offer similar (nYag or
Cynosure Elite which has a combo with
nYag), if not better results for ethnic skin
types - it was not mentioned to me at the
time. The only alternative presented was
their other laser treatment option which
would have resulted in routine maintenance
and constantly having to come back. It
would have been nice to hear some of the
other options, even if VLSC was not able to
deliver the service. Was this review …?
Comment from Martin B. of Vancouver
Laser & Skin Care Centre Business Owner
3/7/2012 Hello Cheekie, Thank you for
sharing your concerns with us. At
Vancouver Laser, ensuring our… Hello
Cheekie, Thank you for sharing your
concerns with us. At Vancouver Laser,
ensuring our patients' safety is our number
one priority and since a large portion of our
clientele are skin type 4 & 5, we strive to
give you as much information about
realistic expectations within the
consultation. Our staff are trained to give
you your best options and it sounds like
there was some miscommunication. The
darker one is, the easier you are to burn
with a laser that is attracted to pigment.
Therefore, identifying skin type is important
to ensuring that patients are treated within
safe and appropriate parameters. Skin type
5 is classified as brown to dark brown skin,
typically a South Asian or Indian
background. As you noted, there is quite a
range within that skin type and you needn't
feel that having skin type 5 precludes you
from having safe and effective laser hair
reduction. The next important factor to
consider is the coarseness of the hair.
Finer hairs tend not to respond as well as
coarse hair that is typically found in the
under arms or bikini area. We have full
confidence that we can offer safe &
effective hair reduction for all ethnic
backgrounds, provided the hair is not
blonde or white in which case we will
provide patients with alternate credible
facilities should they wish to pursue
electrolysis, waxing, etc. We are happy to
chat more in depth with you & hope you
know we take your concerns to heart.

celebs are reported to have admitted they
avoided surgery and look 20 years younger
thanks to the simple advice.” The Best Skin
Solution You’ve Never Heard Of The
wrinkle secret has been reserved for high
paying celebrity clients. until now.
Consumers have reported throwing away
thousands of dollars on expensive anti
aging products or dangerous surgical
procedures that make big promises that
often do far more harm than good. As a
result, a few weeks ago this simple solution
was shared! This anti aging miracle was
reportedly found when multiple celebrity
friends and clients were constantly reaching
out to a high profile doctor hoping for a
solution to look younger to prolong their
career without going in for surgery. The
doctor was reported to have been thrilled
when after months and months of pain
staking tests and research, his team came
across 2 products that when combined
supposedly took 10 to 20 years off
women’s appearance in just a month. More
shockingly it is safe, and costs next to
nothing to try . The two products are
BELLAVEI Youth Renew Phytoceramides
and BELLAVEI Anti Aging Cream . “This is
the anti aging miracle of the decade as far
as I'm concerned.” So what is it? 2 Key
Ingredients For Anti Aging: 1. Vitamin C 2.
Hyaluronic Acid These are both natural
ingredients that work together to erase
wrinkles and fine lines at the cellular level –
below the surface of the skin – which is why
they’re so effective. Vitamin C, The
Fountain of Youth: The first piece of the anti
aging puzzle discovered was Vitamin C .
"Vitamin C is the secret to cheat your age”
Vitamin C penetrates deep into damaged
skin and stimulates new collagen – a
protein which makes skin appear plump
and firm. It's all the rage in beauty circles,
much in part because of a 2009 study
stating, applying non-prescription Vitamin C
to your skin caused a large reduction in fine
lines and wrinkles . This is why BELLAVEI
Youth Renew Phytoceramides is so
effective. It was one of the few products on
the market that had Vitamin C in the right
consistency and dosage. Hyaluronic Acid:

properly with Vitamin C, can make your
face look two decades younger in weeks!
Hyaluronic Acid works by binding to
moisture. It can hold up to 1,000 times its
weight in water, making it an excellent
natural skin plumper. Hyaluronic acid helps
your skin repair and regenerate itself after
suffering from dryness, environmental
stresses, or irritation. Products you can buy
over the counter with an effective
concentration of Hyaluronic Acid was found
in BELLAVEI Anti Aging Cream. “What
Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid do is get rid of
all the old, dead layers of skin and help
your skin generate fresh new ones. Our
tests show that you can erase almost 10 to
20 years off your face in less than 14 days.
But the key is to choose the creams and
serums that contain the highest and purest
quality ingredients, since they’re not all the
same. The only two we found during our
research was BELLAVEI Youth Renew
Phytoceramides and BELLAVEI Anti Aging
Cream. This is what my wife uses. This is
what I recommend to all my celebrity
clients.” "How do I do it?" It's actually very
simple. You simply use both products
before bed. BELLAVEI Youth Renew
Phytoceramides and BELLAVEI Anti Aging
Cream. These two products both contain
high concentrations of pure Vitamin C and
Hyaluronic Acid in just the right
concentrations. His team is also reported to
have discovered that they contain all sorts
of anti-oxidants, an ingredient called
Dermaxyl (also known as facelift in a jar)
and Ester-C (the active anti-aging
compound in Vitamin C). “Getting older is
rough for an actress. I feel like a new
woman!” Put to the Test! As excited as we
were, we wanted to find an example of real
usage of these type of products. We found
one test where a volunteer from the office
was used. A 57 year old mother of 3
jumped at the chance to test this combo
and the results were pulished online. Here
is her story. Brenda's Story & 14 Day Cell
Revival Results: "Brenda is a 57 year old
mother of 3 from here in Chicago. Like
most women her age, the years have
started to give her unwanted lines and
wrinkles. Brenda said she volunteered
because she is so frustrated that nothing
she has tried seems to work. She was even
considered highly risky and very expensive
facelift procedure. This was somewhat of a
last resort for her." Here are the reported
results from the source. Day 1: "After the
first day of using BELLAVEI Youth Renew
Phytoceramides and BELLAVEI Anti Aging
Cream together, I was surprised at how
wonderful they both made my skin feel. It
felt like every last pore on my face was
being tightened and pulled by a gigantic
vacuum cleaner. I don't know how else to
describe it! I could feel a warm tingling
sensation on my cheeks, around my eyes,
and on my forehead. I looked in the mirror
and saw that my face looked a bit rosy - the
result of revitalizing blood rushing to the
surface of my skin to renew my face. After
both products were absorbed into my skin,
my face looked firmer and had a beautiful
glow to it." day 5: The lines, dark spots, and
wrinkles - without question - were visibly
reduced in size right before my eyes! I was
astonished by the results, and literally felt
15 years younger again. It was like
watching all my wrinkles and fine lines
vanish right off!" day 14: "After 14 days, not
only had all my doubts and scepticism
absolutely vanished - SO DID MY
WRINKLES! The lines on my forehead, the
loose, sagging skin on my neck, my crows’
feet – even the age spots on my face had
COMPLETELY disappeared. I've never felt
or seen anything tighten my skin with this
kind of force before, no matter how
expensive the product! After the 2 weeks,
my skin not only stayed that way, it actually
improved every day until it became as
beautiful and radiant as it was 20 years
ago. By this point, all my friends and family
were shocked. They couldn't believe the
difference, and were convinced I was lying
about not getting botox!" The Verdict: Using
the BELLAVEI Youth Renew
Phytoceramides and BELLAVEI Anti Aging
Cream combo, removed virtually 90% of all
her wrinkles and problem areas. It
tightened her face and neck, removing all
signs of sagging, aging, and dehydrated
skin. Will This Work For You? There are
plenty of skincare gimmicks out there, and

WELCOME Dr. Surani has a cosy clinic
located in the same building as Glow Spa.
She is very professional and takes all the
time required to diagnose your skin
problems and discuss possible treatments
for you. Although laser hair removal is a
very popular option at any laser clinic, she
also specializes in skin treatments that
rejuvenate the face, and that go far beyond
the results of an ordinary facial. I have had
microdermabrasion and both the IPL
Photofacial and Laser Genesis. These
procedures have an immediate positive
effect that is even better after two or three
procedures. Sue in Leaside IPL
Photofacial, Laser Genesis Dr. Surani is
extremely well qualified and provides
excellent, personalized and effective skin
treatments. I have been impressed with the
reduction in fine lines, redness,
improvement in skin tone and less dry, flaky
patches after facial laser treatments. The
service at this clinic is welcoming and very
professional. I would highly recommend it -
especially for those who are new to laser
treatments and perhaps a bit hesitant. Dr.
Surani will make you feel at home and
comfortable as you experience the benefits
of cutting edge skin treatments. Maureen
Smith, Dr. Surani is very professional and is
a pleasure to work with. I am very pleased
with the results I have had on both hair
removal and laser genesis. The Surani
Clinic has lots of anti-aging, rosesea and
hair removal options and the experience is
personal and enjoyable. Sam J, For years I
agonized with my facial hair growth
problem. I went for regular waxing,
electrolysis and threading. NOTHING
HELPED and I ended up spending a lot of
money with no results. I was so reluctant to
do laser hair removal. When I met Surani
she advised me to do laser hair removal as
it will also help with ingrown hairs, I trusted
her and agreed. That was the best bold
move from my part to be forever free of
facial hair for many years now. Surani
handled my face with utmost care and
Surani analyzed my skin and did a
thorough examination of my face and hair.
She has quite a number of lasers for hair
removal and she used CoolGlide laser on
me for it was the best laser for ethnic skin.
She was gentle and cautious. Whenever I
am in her clinic I get pampered with tender
care. I had great results. I am truly grateful
for Surani’s service and I would
recommend Surani’s service to anyone
who is hesitating to do a laser treatment. It
was painless and it forever liberated me.
Mira Mm, Put simply, Dr. Surani is amazing!
She is extremely knowledgeable and
experienced in what she does, and she
always takes great care with her clients to
ensure that everyone receives the best
treatment possible. She offers a myriad of
services and I've been delighted with every
treatment I've received from her. She
analyzes your skin health quickly and
understands what you need to maintain a
healthy radiance. She kindly goes and
gives beyond what you'd receive from any
other spa or aesthetician. Having visited
other skin treatment clinics in the past and
having had a range of experiences at each
of them, I am so grateful that I found Dr.
Surani. Her quality of work and her kind
manner is nonpareil. more lessness, We

CARE Promotion!- 40% Off Laser Acne
Treatment. Visit Fees & Financing for more
details. Achieve a clear complexion with the
most effective laser acne treatments. Acne
vulgaris, commonly known as acne, affects
people of all ages. Those living with severe
acne or acne scarring can suffer profound
social anxiety, depression, and social
isolation. For men and women seeking
acne treatment in Toronto,
NewDermaMed’s team of highly skilled and
compassionate professionals can find the
right treatment and aftercare regiments for
your needs. CAUSES OF ACNE Acne is
caused by a build up of dirt, oil, bacteria
and other substances such as dead skin
cells, within the pores of the skin. Some
people are more susceptible to acne than
others. Those who have naturally oily skin,
larger pores, or have greater exposure to
acne causing bacteria, are more likely to
suffer from acne. Some acne is also
caused by hormonal changes such as
puberty, pregnancy, menopause and
hormonal birth control. People who have
food sensitivities may even suffer from
acne as a reaction to certain foods. TYPES
OF ACNE There are several different types
of acne. Our clinic in Toronto treats the
most common forms, including:
Comedones - This milder form of acne
presents as blackheads and whiteheads,
usually on the face. Pustules - Moderate,
pus-filled acne is caused when a pore
becomes clogged and infected with
bacteria, dead cells and a surplus of the
oils normally produced by your skin. It
appears on the face, arms, neck, back and
legs. Papules - Another moderate form of
acne. Raised, red papules are caused by
pores clogged with oils or bacteria, which
become inflamed. Like pustules, they can
appear on various bodily areas, but they do
not contain pus. Cysts or nodules - The
most severe form of acne, sometimes
develops when papules or pustules
become aggravated. These large, soft,
sub-surface lesions can also be painful. If
hard discs also appear beneath the skin,
nodulocycstic acne occurs. This in turn
increases the level of pain and the risk of
scarring. If you are living with one or
several of these acne conditions,
NewDermaMed’s acne removal treatments
is right for you. It is important to refrain from
trying to scratch, squeeze, or ‘pop’ your
acne – this might worsen the infection and
produce scarring. It is also important to
remember that acne often isn’t one’s ‘fault,’
as it’s usually a genetic condition. You
deserve professional treatment to regain
your confidence and be your best self.
LASER ACNE REMOVAL TREATMENT
NewDermaMed team of medical
professionals uses the safest and most
innovative technology customized for each
client’s needs. For our acne removal
treatments we use Nd:YAG Laser and
intense pulsed light (IPL) technologies.
These versatile tools are specifically
designed to treat several forms of severe
acne for a variety of skin types. The laser
emits a wavelength that penetrates through
the skin and is concentrated within the
overactive sebaceous (oil) glands; the root
cause of acne. The heating of the
sebaceous glands causes a mild thermal
exertion that changes the activity and
function of the glands, leading to prolonged
reduction in acne breakouts. In addition to
reducing the activity of the gland, the laser
kills the acne causing bacteria under the
skin. It has proven to be extremely effective
in rapidly bringing the inflammatory lesions
of acne under control, often irresponsive to
other acne therapies. In addition to the anti-
inflammatory action, the laser inactivates
the acne forming bacteria. Furthermore,
since it targets the blood vessels, it
effectively reduces the appearance of
chronic red blemishes and red acne scars.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is ideal for
destorying acne bacteria for rapid
clearance of current acne breakouts. At
NewDermaMed, we use a combination of
Intense Pulse Light and pore-centered
suction to clear out and shrink clogged
pores. With absolutely no pain and
downtime, you will be able to resume to
your regular activities. LASER ACNE

visibile improvement of skin texture and

are a number of commonly presenting
concerns of Toronto Cosmetic Dermatology
patients. How to Treat Red, Vascular
Discoloration and Spider Vein Disorders?
Some of the many conditions treated by the
SpaMedica’s cosmetic dermatologists
include red discoloration of the skin,
including small red and blue spider veins
and blood vessels, rosacea, erythema and
flushing. These are generalized
inflammatory conditions that lead to dilation
of blood vessels and redness, skin
sensitivity and even Acne eruptions. These
red discolourations and disorders of the
skin include rosacea and rosacea-like
illnesses and can be treated with a variety
of topical prescribed skin products, oral
medications, or, most popularly, laser and
light devices. SpaMedica Cosmetic
Dermatologists have the luxury of treating
their patients in Canada’s largest private
laser centre, which includes multiple
Intense Pulsed Light devices such as the
Cynosure Max G, the Sciton BBL, the

and VascuLight and the Syneron Candela
E Plus SRA. In addition, SpaMedica
Cosmetic Dermatologists can also use the

and effective SpaMedica vascular, spider
vein and rosacea lasers. Figure 2. Spider

Discoloration, Sun Damage and Brown
Pigment Disorders? The SpaMedica
dermatologists are experts at treating
brown spots, brown discolouration, photo-
aging (UV light damage),
hyperpigmentation and Dyschromia caused
by sun damage. There are many reasons
and etiologies for unsightly brown spots
including age, sun exposure and the
genetic risks of Melasma and
hyperpigmentation. The expert SpaMedica
Toronto Cosmetic dermatology team uses
a variety of topical skin treatments and
medically prescribed bleaching agents, as
well as state of the art laser and energy
devices, such as intense pulse light or IPL
Photofacials, including three of the world’s
leading IPL Photofacial systems, the Max
G, the Sciton BBL and the Lumecca from
Inmode. In addition, the 755nm Alexandrite
lasers are very good at removing brown
spots, such as the Syneron Canadela
GentleLaze Alexandrite, the Cynosure
755nm Accolade, the Cynosure Elite
755nm Alexandrite and the Nanosecond
King the Revlite and the new Picosecond
laser devices, such as the Picosure and
PicoWay lasers. For more information on

damage page. Figure 3. Brown spot and
sun spot patient before and after. Toronto
brown spot, sun damage and
hyperpigmented patients can be treated by
one or more of the SpaMedica Cosmetic
Dermatology top of the line brown spot and
sun damage lasers. SpaMedica Toronto
Cosmetic Dermatologists are also experts
in treating melasma, a precarious and
potentially treacherous brown pigment
disorder of the skin, which is part
hereditary, hormonal and UV light
exposure. Melasma is tricky, as traditional
brown pigment heating lasers and IPLs or
chemical peels will only stimulate the
melasma to be worse. By using a
combination of dermatology skin care and
then the new picosecond lasers, which
work more through a photo-acoustic not
thermal mechanism, Toronto cosmetic
Dermatology patients suffering from
melasma have a tremendous chance to
reduce and control the pigment by seeing
the SpaMedica Cosmetic Dermatology
team. Figure 4. Melasma patients before
and after. Toronto melisma patients, brown
discoloration and hyperpigmentation
patients can have their stubborn deep
dermal melasma treated by the SpaMedica
Cosmetic Dermatology cutting edge
picosecond lasers, the PicoSure and the
PicoWay. How to Treat Wrinkles, Furrows,
Folds and Lines? SpaMedica cosmetic
dermatologists are experts at treating
unwanted lines, folds and wrinkles. The
techniques and strategies to treat
unwanted lines, folds and wrinkles include
the use of fractional Fraxel CO2 and
Radiofrequency (RF) like ablative lasers,
such as the Cynosure SmartSkin CO2, The
Syneron CORE CO2 and fractional radio
frequency devices, such as the Invasix
Fractora, Intracell, Infini and the Syneron
ematrix, as well as integration with strategic
use of Botox and soft tissue fillers. The
SpaMedica cosmetic Dermatologists can
also use non ablative fractional lasers and
RF devices, such as the Palomar 1540nm
non ablative laser, the Cynosure 1440nm
and 1320nm fractional non-ablative laser,
or non ablative RF devices such the
Syneron Ematrix, Affini, or IntraCell devices
to reduce wrinkles gradually with very little
downtime (CO2 and RF ablative lasers can
get a better result but come with down
time). In addition, the use of the Enerjet, a
propulsive technology that propels soft
tissue fillers superficially within the skin
itself allows for greater finesse in treating
fine and deep lines and wrinkles. Figure 5.

Syneron ematrix, Intracel and Infini devices
that work nicely on unwanted enlarged
pores and poor skin texture. How to Treat
Stretch Marks? Stretch marks represent
over distended and tensile loaded skin with
microfractures and collagen fractures (like
stretching an elastic band), leading to
white, silvery stretch marks or red
discolored stretch marks that can be
aesthetically unattractive. Fresh stretch
marks can appear red, while white stretch
marks can appear silvery and white.
Toronto Stretch mark patients can develop
stretch marks as a result of growth, weight
loss/weight gain or childbearing.
SpaMedica cosmetic dermatologists have a
variety of excellent ways to treat stretch
marks, first by turning them white if they are
red with a whole host of red treatment
lasers (outlined above) and then, when the
stretch marks are white and hypotrophic
(spread apart and slivery), treatment with a
whole array of new technologies like the
EnerJet, fractional ablative and non-
ablative lasers (outline above) and

years ago, before the advent of the
picosecond lasers. Even ink pigments that
used to be traditionally difficult to remove,
such as red, yellow, orange, blue, purple
and light green ink can be as effectively
and successfully treated as the traditional
black ink tattoos with the revolutionary new
PicoSure and PicoWay tattoo removal

Seeks the Services of a Cosmetic
Dermatologist? Toronto cosmetic
dermatology patients are those patients
with unwanted skin discolouration, raised
lesions, moles, inflammatory scars,
enlarged pores, acne, oily skin and
unwanted texture that need the expertise of
a certified experienced and trained
cosmetic dermatologist. Other Toronto
cosmetic dermatology patients include
those with tattoos that they want removed
or pigmented or vascular birthmarks and
red or brown discoloration. These patients
need specialized laser dermatology
techniques and skills that are present at
SpaMedica cosmetic dermatology
department. How are the Cosmetic
Dermatology Procedures Performed?
Toronto cosmetic dermatology patients who
undergo laser treatments are usually
performed under topical anesthesia with or
without an air chilling device. Occasionally
topical cryogen (freezing spray) is
combined with laser treatment and
sometimes local anesthetic is used to instill
under a cosmetic dermatology skin problem
prior to its treatment with a topical
dermatologic laser. Most patients find
cosmetic dermatology treatments extremely
tolerable and can often return to work the
same or the following day. What Kind of
Recovery Occurs After Cosmetic
Dermatology Treatment? The recovery
after a SpaMedica cosmetic dermatology
treatment will depend on the laser and
energy treatment that is delivered. In
general, the ablative treatments using
fractional lasers or radio frequency devices
may have several days of redness and
crusting and be treated with topical
antibiotic ointment. Treatments that are for
unwanted brown discolouration or blood
vessel lesions will usually leave no
disruption of the skin surface other than
slight scabbing or scaling or bruised
discolouration and these can often be
camouflaged with makeup easily. Toronto
cosmetic dermatology patients that visit
SpaMedica will be advised at the time of
their consultation what kind of recovery
time will be required. Many patients
proceed with their cosmetic dermatology
treatment immediately while others will plan
ahead if there is some degree of mild or
moderate downtime required. How Many
Treatments Will be Required for my
Cosmetic Dermatology Therapy? Most
cosmetic dermatology problems will require
between 1-3 treatments that are usually
performed 4-8 weeks apart. At the time of
your cosmetic dermatology appointment
your cosmetic dermatologist will carefully
examine your skin, discuss with you the risk
and benefits of the various options and
you’ll be informed of the pricing structure
and recovery time of each option. What is
Involved in My SpaMedica Cosmetic
Dermatology Consultation? You will be
scheduled with one of our SpaMedica
cosmetic dermatologists and upon your
initial consultation you will fill out the
necessary medical history forms and
consult goals and expectations. You’ll have
a personal private consultation with a pre-
eminent SpaMedica Toronto cosmetic
dermatologist, as well as a very
experienced medical aesthetician. The
options and outline of the program of
treatment(s) that will be needed to improve
your cosmetic skin concern will be outlined,
as well as the costs. You can even proceed
with your first treatment that day. What Kind
of Payment Options are Available with a
SpaMedica Cosmetic Dermatology
Program? There are a variety of forms of
payment that are available to you when
undergoing cosmetic SpaMedica
dermatology treatments. Many patients pay
with cash, credit or debit cards. A series of
treatments can also be financed using
iFinance Canada at www.medicard.com.
Payments can be made in advance of a
series of treatments usually at a customer-
client value pricing or payments can be
made for a series of treatments each time
the cosmetic dermatology patient appears
for treatment (“pay-as- you-play” model).
What are the Risks or Complications of
Cosmetic Dermatology Treatments? The
risks of cosmetic dermatology treatments
are low and usually easily managed. The
risks and complications can include the
complications of minor skin laser
treatments or surgical ablation treatments
and include prolonged erythema, slight
lightening or darkening of the skin, textural
irregularities, infection and even
(fortunately rarely) scarring. By ensuring
that you see a SpaMedica Cosmetic
Dermatologist you greatly reduce your risk
of complication by reason of their
experience and multiple different laser, RF
and energy devices at their disposal. Using
the “right device for the right indication”
ensures the highest degree of success and
the least likelihood of a treatment
complication. In the rare circumstance that
a complication occurs, most potential
complications following cosmetic
dermatologic treatments can be managed
with effective local care and completely
resolved. There’s no cost to these
treatments if there’s a complication during
your SpaMedica cosmetic dermatology
therapy. Why Choose a SpaMedica
Toronto Cosmetic Dermatologist? The
dermatologists at SpaMedica are some of
Toronto and Canada’s most renowned
cosmetic dermatologists and laser
dermatology experts. All dermatologists

practice for more than 10 years and are

Dermatology and Laser Skin Care
Procedures There are many skin conditions
that can detract from attractive, compelling
and youthfully vital looking skin. The
experienced and well respected cosmetic
laser dermatologists of SpaMedica are well
versed in the dozens of laser skin care
technologies and high tech solutions to
improving the appearance of your skin.
Unwanted benign moles on the skin are
fairly common. The moles may be removed
with traditional surgery or curettage, which
may lead to aesthetically displeasing scars
or discolorations. Because medical laser
dermatologists at SpaMedica are well
versed in using high tech lasers to remove
benign, unwanted and visually displeasing
moles, the risk of discoloration or scarring
is minimized significantly. Cosmetic benign
skin growths are extremely common,
especially as we age. There are many
cosmetic lasers at SpaMedica that can
simply, effectively and safely remove these
cosmetic benign skin growths with minimal
scarring and downtime. Acne is one of the
most common skin concerns in adolescent
and early adult onset years. The cosmetic
dermatologists at SpaMedica are well
trained in the treatment of adolescent and
adult onset acne and may deploy many
high tech, non antibiotic, non Accutane,
laser and light based treatments, with a
high degree of success, controlling acne
outbursts and minimizing the risks of
scarring. Small spider veins of the nose,
cheek, chin and face are very common.
Often caused by hereditary and hormonal
factors, these small, little vessels respond
best to high tech laser treatments
performed quickly and simply in an
outpatient environment. Older techniques
such as injection were much more prone to
scarring. However, the new laser removal
treatments of small spider veins can be
done without any visible scarring and with
very little downtime. Laser vascular
birthmark removal is a very common
procedure at SpaMedica. We have high
tech pulse dye lasers, intense pulse light
systems, long pulse lasers as well as the
synergist or combination of pulse, dye and
long pulse YAG lasers for the most
effective and comprehensive ability to treat
discoloured vascular hereditary birthmarks.
Many patients have thought these could
not be removed without significant scarring
but the high tech use of SpaMedica lasers
allows the cosmetic laser dermatologist to
tremendously improve the appearance of
these blood vessel birthmarks without
residual scarring or deformity leading to
significant, often miraculous, improvements
in the appearance of individuals suffering
from birthmarks. Many patients are also
afflicted by rosacea or rosacea acne form
eruptions. Rosacea is an ill defined disease
of the skin characterized by erythema
flushing redness, inflammatory changes
such as dilated pores and even acne form
eruptions over the nose, cheeks and chin.
The use of high tech vascular lasers and
intense pulse light systems allow the
cosmetic laser dermatologists at
SpaMedica to fully control the irritating
symptoms of sensitive skin and rosacea.
Laser brown spot removal is a very
common procedure at SpaMedica and a
very common skin concern. It is estimated
that over 70% of women and men over 35
have unwanted brown spots or sun spots,
also known as age spots, on their face,
neck, chest, arms and hands. Again,
surgical removal or more aggressive
techniques will result in unwanted,
aesthetically displeasing scars and
pigmentation concerns. The use of high
tech lasers specific to brown spots will allow
laser dermatologists, Dr. Michael Davis or
Dr. Ingrid Jarvis, to selectively and
precisely remove these brown spots,
greatly minimizing the risk of any visible
ghosting, pigmentation or scarring. It is
important that you see a laser dermatology
expert like Dr. Davis or Dr. Jarvis to ensure
that these brown spots are not, in fact, early
cancerous growths. Brown birthmarks of
the skin are also very common. Called
small and large congenital pigmented nevi
they may present with or without hair. There
are many specialized types of hereditary
moles and many of them have special and
complicated names. Regardless, Dr.
Michael Davis and Dr. Ingrid Jarvis have
some of Toronto’s most advanced Q-
switched lasers, including the Q-Switched
755 nanometer laser, Q-Switched 1064
laser and Q-Switched 532 nanometer laser,
all of which can be used to specifically treat
cosmetic brown spots and hereditary
pigmented moles. It is important to seek the
expertise of a cosmetic dermatology
specialist like Dr. Michael Davis and Dr.
Ingrid Jarvis because they can assess
these congenital, pigmented moles and
determine whether there are any health
risks due to cancerous transformation of
these birthmarks. As we age, deterioration
and descent afflict our skin and we develop
wrinkles. SpaMedica’s Laser Dermatology
specialists are experts in the use of
fractional lasers, ablative and non-ablative,
as well as ergine and carbon dioxide lasers
to smooth out unwanted wrinkles, texture
and acne scars. Most of these procedures
are performed under local anesthesia as an
outpatient and you’ll be able to see results
within a very short time. Tattoos have
become extremely popular, and as a result
the laser removal of some of these
unwanted tattoos has become even more
popular. The laser dermatologists at
SpaMedica, Dr. Michael Davis and Dr.
Ingrid Jarvis, are some of Canada’s most
experienced laser tattoo removal experts.
The SpaMedica laser dermatology program
is the largest private laser centre in Canada
and has the most effective laser tattoo
removal systems available. The 532
nanometer Q-Switched laser combined with
the 755 nanometer Q-Switched laser and
the 1064 nanometer Q-Switched Nd Yag
laser allows, together with urbium ablative
and fractional CO2 lasers, allows the
cosmetic laser dermatologists at
SpaMedica the most wavelengths and the
greatest degree of technological
sophistication in treating modern day
professional tattoos. The goal of the
cosmetic laser dermatology program is to
give you the best possible, most attractive
skin that can be created using high tech
laser skin care systems. You can be
assured that you will have all the most
effective options available to enhance the
appearance of your skin. Did you Know?
Laser Dermatology Treatment Facts Dr.
Mulholland and the laser dermatologists at
SpaMedica have innovated and pioneered
some of the most modern laser skin care
and high tech skin dermatological
treatments available. SpaMedica has
combinations of pulse dye lasers and pulse
dye Nd Yag lasers for high tech removal of
blood vessel and blood vessel
malformations as well as all the various
wavelengths of Q-Switched pigment
removal lasers allowing the effective
removal of tattoos and brown spots. The
fraction skin resurfacing allows the
SpaMedica dermatology team to effectively
tighten and reduce the appearance of laxity
and wrinkles. Dr. Mulholland has taught
hundreds of physicians from across North
America laser dermatology techniques
such as Fraction CO2 Laser resurfacing,
the laser treatment of blood vessels and
brown spots. The Toronto Laser

one of the most advanced and highly
regarded centers of it’s kind in Canada.

Treatment. Visit Fees & Financing for more
details. Achieve a clear complexion with the
most effective laser acne treatments. Acne
vulgaris, commonly known as acne, affects
people of all ages. Those living with severe
acne or acne scarring can suffer profound
social anxiety, depression, and social
isolation. For men and women seeking
acne treatment in Toronto,
NewDermaMed’s team of highly skilled and
compassionate professionals can find the
right treatment and aftercare regiments for
your needs. CAUSES OF ACNE Acne is
caused by a build up of dirt, oil, bacteria
and other substances such as dead skin
cells, within the pores of the skin. Some
people are more susceptible to acne than
others. Those who have naturally oily skin,
larger pores, or have greater exposure to
acne causing bacteria, are more likely to
suffer from acne. Some acne is also
caused by hormonal changes such as
puberty, pregnancy, menopause and
hormonal birth control. People who have
food sensitivities may even suffer from
acne as a reaction to certain foods. TYPES
OF ACNE There are several different types
of acne. Our clinic in Toronto treats the
most common forms, including:
Comedones - This milder form of acne
presents as blackheads and whiteheads,
usually on the face. Pustules - Moderate,
pus-filled acne is caused when a pore
becomes clogged and infected with
bacteria, dead cells and a surplus of the
oils normally produced by your skin. It
appears on the face, arms, neck, back and
legs. Papules - Another moderate form of
acne. Raised, red papules are caused by
pores clogged with oils or bacteria, which
become inflamed. Like pustules, they can
appear on various bodily areas, but they do
not contain pus. Cysts or nodules - The
most severe form of acne, sometimes
develops when papules or pustules
become aggravated. These large, soft,
sub-surface lesions can also be painful. If
hard discs also appear beneath the skin,
nodulocycstic acne occurs. This in turn
increases the level of pain and the risk of
scarring. If you are living with one or
several of these acne conditions,
NewDermaMed’s acne removal treatments
is right for you. It is important to refrain from
trying to scratch, squeeze, or ‘pop’ your
acne – this might worsen the infection and
produce scarring. It is also important to
remember that acne often isn’t one’s ‘fault,’
as it’s usually a genetic condition. You
deserve professional treatment to regain
your confidence and be your best self.
LASER ACNE REMOVAL TREATMENT
NewDermaMed team of medical
professionals uses the safest and most
innovative technology customized for each
client’s needs. For our acne removal
treatments we use Nd:YAG Laser and
intense pulsed light (IPL) technologies.
These versatile tools are specifically
designed to treat several forms of severe
acne for a variety of skin types. The laser
emits a wavelength that penetrates through
the skin and is concentrated within the
overactive sebaceous (oil) glands; the root
cause of acne. The heating of the
sebaceous glands causes a mild thermal
exertion that changes the activity and
function of the glands, leading to prolonged
reduction in acne breakouts. In addition to
reducing the activity of the gland, the laser
kills the acne causing bacteria under the
skin. It has proven to be extremely effective
in rapidly bringing the inflammatory lesions
of acne under control, often irresponsive to
other acne therapies. In addition to the anti-
inflammatory action, the laser inactivates
the acne forming bacteria. Furthermore,
since it targets the blood vessels, it
effectively reduces the appearance of
chronic red blemishes and red acne scars.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is ideal for
destorying acne bacteria for rapid
clearance of current acne breakouts. At
NewDermaMed, we use a combination of
Intense Pulse Light and pore-centered
suction to clear out and shrink clogged
pores. With absolutely no pain and
downtime, you will be able to resume to
your regular activities. LASER ACNE
TREATMENT RESULTS You will notice
visibile improvement of skin texture and
tone after your initial treatment. Your skin
will become more clear and softer, and
blemishes will fade and disappear,
revealing your natural, radiant skin. To help
retain your new, acne free skin and prevent
the recurrence of blemishes, our medical
professional will review post-treatment and
long term skin care regimen. SCHEDULE

certified health care staff would in fact be
doing the treatment. The professionalism
within the practice gave me confidence that
I was in the best care. My first
dermabrasion proved to be very beneficial
in removing the weathered and dead cells
from my face, leaving it the smoothest it
has ever been. I feel much more confident
in my appearance. I can wear my hair in
any style because I’m not trying to hide my
face. I don’t worry if someone touches my
face. Overall my self esteem is much
higher. I have tried every hair removal
product you could imagine – Waxes,
bleaches, creams, razors – you name it.
Laser hair removal is the best! First of all it
worked even on the most stubborn hairs! It
even works on my boyfriend’s dark hair…
we both have it. There’s no need to waste
money on various of products that are a
hassle now that you can get help at the
Laser Essential on Yonge” It is a gem of an
idea and I recommend everyone having it
done! I had waxed my legs and bikini line
for 10 years and suffered from terrible in-
grown hairs. After only 1 treatment of laser
hair removal those areas were 100%
better. I have had 3 treatments on my bikini
line and no longer have hair growing where
I don’t want it and my skin is baby smooth!
My main hair issue was my facial hair. It
was very dense & coarse & I suffered with
sensitive skin, so my neck would develop
ingrown hairs, bleeding & shaving rash.
Since having laser hair removal treatments
I no longer have these concerns. My wife
loves it even better then me, because she
no longer has to wake up to a bristle kiss. It
doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t take long and its a
small price to pay for smooth, hair free skin!
The Laser Essential’s efficient and
professional service, thorough
understanding and explanation of laser
procedures, and upfront pricing with no
hidden fees have caused me to have a
completely positive experience – and my
legs look great. I also suffered with shaving
rash under my arms. After 3 treatments
under my arms I am now completely hair
free and the skin is never irritated or sore
anymore. I tell you guys, I was so hairy that
if it weren’t for the nipples you’d confuse my
front with my back. Somebody says it is
sexy – that’s wrong. Back hair is not chest
hair, as well as shoulder hair and neck hair
– none of it is attractive. Have you ever
tried to shave or, even the worse, to wax
your chest? Believe me it is really painful,
annoying and time-consuming procedure.
Not only will you suffer from the itchiness of
re-growing hair but also a stubbly chest
looks ridiculous, and probably … I am a
dark-skinned woman and my complexion is
about slightly brownish however my chin is
much darker due to years of tweezing and
folliculitis (hair bumps). I have tried
electrolysis, tweezing, waxing, shaving,
threading, and a prescription medication
(Vanique) and everything at best is
temporary and often expensive. The only
thing I hadn’t tried then was Laser. I was
told Laser hair removal works best but only
on light skin individuals but I decided to try
it because during a consultation a d… The

. WARTS TORONTO WARTS FOOT
CLINIC PROFESSIONAL FOOT CLINIC
Most foot warts are harmless, even though
they may be painful. They are often
mistaken for corns or calluses, which are
layers of dead skin that build up to protect
an area which is being continuously
irritated. A wart, however, is caused by a
viral infection which invades the skin
through small or invisible cuts and
abrasions. Foot warts are generally raised
and fleshy and can appear anywhere on
the foot or toes. Occasionally, warts can
spontaneously disappear after a short time,
and then, just as frequently, they recur in
the same location. If left untreated, warts
can grow to an inch or more in
circumference and can spread into clusters
of warts. Children, especially teenagers,
tend to be more susceptible to warts than
adults. Plantar warts . also known as
verrucas . appear on the soles of the feet
and are one of several soft tissue
conditions that can be quite painful. Unlike
other foot warts, plantar warts tend to be
hard and flat, with a rough surface and well-
defined boundaries. They are often gray or
brown (but the color may vary), with a
center that appears as one or more
pinpoints of black. Plantar warts are often
contracted by walking barefoot on dirty
surfaces or littered ground. The virus that
causes plantar warts thrives in warm, moist
environments, making infection a common
occurrence in public pools and locker
rooms. Like any other infectious lesion,
plantar warts are spread by touching,
scratching, or even by contact with skin
shed from another wart. The wart may also
bleed, another route for spreading. Plantar
warts that develop on the weight-bearing
areas of the foot (the ball or heel of the
foot) can cause a sharp, burning pain. Pain
occurs when weight is brought to bear
directly on the wart, although pressure on
the side of a wart can create equally
intense pain. To prevent the spread of
warts, follow these tips: Avoid direct contact
with warts, both from other persons or from
other parts of the body. Avoid walking
barefoot, except on sandy beaches.
Change your shoes and socks daily. Check
your children's feet periodically. Keep your
feet clean and dry. It is important to note
that warts can be very resistant to
treatment and have a tendency to reoccur.
Over-the-counter foot wart treatments are
usually ineffective because their use can
inadvertently destroy surrounding healthy
tissue. Please contact our office for help in
effectively treating warts. Our practice is
expert in recommending the best treatment
for each patient, ranging from prescription
ointments or medications to, in the most
severe cases, laser cautery.

Discover The 5 Solution to a Wrinkle Free
Face - ALL EXPOSED TODAY! Various
sources across the internet have exposed
a HUGE celebrity secret to erase wrinkles -
without botox or surgery! How do
Hollywood starlets look so radiant and
youthful well into thier 40's, 50's, and even
60's? Is it always expensive botox and
dangerous plastic surgery? According to
various sources, the answer is NO! So if
they aren't all using surgery to stay looking
great, what is their secret? Keep reading,
it's excitingly effective, safe, and cheap! A
high profile doctor has been giving advice
to clients (rumoured to include celebrities)
to look 10 to 15 years younger fast, but are
scared of the potential risks of surgery or
botox. Many online sources have
expressed suprise over how shockingly
simple, cheap, and effective his technique
was! Read on. “Countless aging celebs are
reported to have admitted they avoided
surgery and look 20 years younger thanks
to the simple advice.” The Best Skin
Solution You’ve Never Heard Of The
wrinkle secret has been reserved for high
paying celebrity clients. until now.
Consumers have reported throwing away
thousands of dollars on expensive anti
aging products or dangerous surgical
procedures that make big promises that
often do far more harm than good. As a
result, a few weeks ago this simple solution
was shared! This anti aging miracle was
reportedly found when multiple celebrity
friends and clients were constantly reaching
out to a high profile doctor hoping for a
solution to look younger to prolong their
career without going in for surgery. The
doctor was reported to have been thrilled
when after months and months of pain
staking tests and research, his team came
across 2 products that when combined
supposedly took 10 to 20 years off
women’s appearance in just a month. More
shockingly it is safe, and costs next to
nothing to try . The two products are
BELLAVEI Youth Renew Phytoceramides
and BELLAVEI Anti Aging Cream . “This is
the anti aging miracle of the decade as far
as I'm concerned.” So what is it? 2 Key
Ingredients For Anti Aging: 1. Vitamin C 2.
Hyaluronic Acid These are both natural
ingredients that work together to erase
wrinkles and fine lines at the cellular level –
below the surface of the skin – which is why
they’re so effective. Vitamin C, The
Fountain of Youth: The first piece of the anti
aging puzzle discovered was Vitamin C .
"Vitamin C is the secret to cheat your age”
Vitamin C penetrates deep into damaged
skin and stimulates new collagen – a
protein which makes skin appear plump
and firm. It's all the rage in beauty circles,
much in part because of a 2009 study
stating, applying non-prescription Vitamin C
to your skin caused a large reduction in fine
lines and wrinkles . This is why BELLAVEI
Youth Renew Phytoceramides is so
effective. It was one of the few products on
the market that had Vitamin C in the right
consistency and dosage.
