Cindy, Dermal fillers and laser treatments are excellent options to combat the signs of aging you are beginning to notice. We lose volume in the face as we age creating unsightly lines. I like Radiesse or Juvederm Ultra Plus to restore facial volume immediately. If you are willing to go for multiple treatments, Sculptra is also an option for volumizing the face, and it lasts longer. To tighten the skin, consider a Fractional CO2 laser treatment, such as the Lumenis Active FX and Deep FX. It isn't an easy procedure to go through but the results are usually worth it. Ideally, you do both lasers and dermal fillers. These are not cures for lines, but they do reverse the timeclock a few years. Most important thing to do is wear sunscreen every day to help prevent further collagen loss.
