Best Tips for Rejuvenating Skin to Reverse Signs of Aging

1) sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! You need to stop stimulating unwanted pigment and destroying collagen, reducing UV exposure is the way to go. 2) get some great skin care: antioxidants in the morning, retinoids at night and a good exfoliating cleanser will make a difference over time. 3) prescription strength hydroquinone is still the gold standard for reducing new pigment formation. 4) peels such as Vialize, done in your dermatologist's office strip off old pigment and soften... more

If you are looking only for at-home treatments, the first stop is the sun care aisle. Everyday apply sunscreen, even in winter! Next is find a good skin care line. Depending upon your skin type, I recommend a variety of lines including Obagi Nuderm and Obagi CRx, Epionce, SkinCeuticals and Retin A. You really need to speak to a qualified skin care consultant/aesthetician or your physician for the best recommendation. But remember, topicals will offer limited results for wrinkles, etc. more

As you pointed out there are a lot of aspects to skin rejuvenation. No two people would necessarily benefit from the identical treatment. Be sure your center offers a diversity of options - and not a "one size fits all" approach. Treatments range from microdermabrasion, and chemical peels on the mild side, to injections of botox and fillers, and various laser treatments up to Fractional C02. Beyond this, even surgical options - laser liposuctions, and lifts are possible. ... more

Unfortunately, reversing the signs of aging cannot be accomplished by skin care products alone. An excellent treatment that could potentially jump start the process for you is Fractionated CO2 skin resurfacing (I currently use the Lutronic eCO2 laser in my practice). This treatment can be used at relatively mild settings (meaning minimal downtime) to address dyschromias (brown spots) and fine lines; this process can be repeated on several occasions with treatment intervals of about 1 month... more

Daily sun protection must be part of your skin rejuvenation strategy. Consult with your local reputable cosmetic board-certified dermatologist who can review a variety of options include prescription strength tretinoin, Vitamin C serum and other cosmoceuticals as well as minimally invasive procedures such as Botox or Dysport for dynamic lines on upper 1/2 of face and fillers for more static lines on nasolabial folds etc. Fractional CO2 laser can get you quicker gratification aesthetically... more

There are many ways to address skin rejuvenation and combinations work well, but technologies with a verifiable track record are relatively few. I stick with chemical peels for light to medium strength applications and reserve heavy laser treatments for the higher end. Not all technologies sold as lasers are very effective and pricing varies substantially. I would say shop around a bit before doing anything. Best Regards.

There are several procedures we perform (and many that we do not) that can help reverse the signs of aging. Below are a few of our favorites. Hands down, the best option for sun damage, freckles and any other sort of uneven brown skin tone related to sun exposure is q-switched lasers. We use the Hoya Conbio Medlite C6 and the Palomar Q-Yag V to remove all types of sun damage quickly and permanently. For wrinkles, there are many laser resurfacing options, including Full CO2, fractional... more

Yes, you can easily reverse the signs of aging. Be sure are getting top of the line treatments using only a Board Certified Physician, as well as Certified Laser Technicians and Estheticians under the guidance of a physician. Cutera's Laser Genesis, mild chemical peels, medical facials, and prescription-strength skin care with daily sunscreen are among the many treatments done to improve the look of your skin.

You should have a good relationship with a facial specialist. Find a good board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist who can guide you to the best care for your face. They will direct you to the best skin care and the best sunblock for your face. You can also be directed to a steady regimen of Botox to relax dynamic (worry) lines and fillers to reduce aging.
