Whereas I do generally agree with my colleagues' answers, I am quite surprised that sun screen is rarely mentioned.  If ever there is a "magic pill" in our arsenal against aging, it has to be avoiding sun damage.  Use sunscreen every day, especially on our most delicate skin areas that are exposed to daily sun.  Of course, good sunglasses are also essential.

Now, if the damage is done, there are of course an arsenal of solutions.  It is, as I am sure you have read, an individual approach.  Every patient is different and has different needs.  In my practice, they include Botox, Erbium Laser resurfacing, Microdermabrasion, Retinol, light acid peels, and Blepharoplasty.
