Premature Aging

Kris M. Reddy M.D., F.A.C.S. answers: What's the best premature aging treatment?

Best treatment for premature aging? (Melasma, lines AND acne). Help! I'm only 37! Hello, please help! I spent 9 years (21-30) in New Mexico, where I spent hours a day exercising outdoors with NO sunscreen. I always tanned easily (1/2 Italian), and because I was prone to pimples, did not like sunscreen.

While the ultimate correction may require multiple treatments, the most cost effective start would be Obagi skin care in combination with Retin A.  This combination has been effective in reversing environmental effect of the sun.  You should consult with a physician who can provide multiple modalities and can guide you through the process.
