Lines and Wrinkles
The pressure to stave off “Father Time” grows ever greater as pop culture proclaims 30 as the new 20 and 50 the new 30. When 30 was, well, 30, you might have expected to start noticing certain visible signs of aging such as a deepening of the “smile” lines trailing between your nose and mouth and the worry creases, those parallel grooves between the eyebrows. By your 40s, wrinkles become more established: The “crow’s-feet” around your eyes and the horizontal forehead lines get deeper, while the corners of your mouth start turning down, forming marionette lines that leave you looking either sad or angry. Then, in your 50s and 60s crepiness sets in, etching crisscrossing fine lines throughout your once smooth cheeks. All the wrinkles you may have tolerated in your 30s and 40s become more deeply etched with each passing birthday.
Although aging is inevitable, much of what we consider undesirable is more within our control
than people realize. When it comes to the aging face, preventing wrinkles is far easier, less
painful and a lot cheaper than correction.
Today’s options for treating wrinkles are numerous and growing, from topical creams and lotions
to dermatologic procedures such as laser skin resurfacing, Botox, fillers and finally, plastic surgery. Tune in to Derm RF this month for dermatologists’ advice on key anti-aging ingredients for your skincare, a look at the effects of hormone replacement therapy as an anti-aging solution, and topical treatments to address wrinkles so you can feel great about your appearance at every age.
