Cosmetic procedures all differ in their abilities to improve the skin's appearance and in their level of risk. Usually, the more aggressive procedure is more effective but the risks are higher. Each individual must carefully weigh the very real risk of a bad outcome with the benefits of the procedure.
 
We have found most effective skin rejuvenation programs to require a combination of rejuvenating products and cosmetic procedures specifically tailored the patient’s life style, genetics, skin type and risk level. These products and procedures ideally should be initiated in a certain order and in specific combinations usually starting with the least invasive first. Each regimen is continually fine tuned in response to each individual’s reactions to treatments, current medical history and activities. 

By making some simple adjustments to your daily routine, you can delay the aging effects of time and environment and delay the need for invasive cosmetic procedures.

Simple changes you can make now:

•
Use retinoids plus glycolic acid products with the highest unbuffered content available. These agents work better together than either alone to rejuvenate the skin. While some over the counter products contain glycolic acid, or other alpha hydroxy acids, the most effective products are those recommended by dermatologists and should be used under medical supervision.
•
Wear a broad spectrum UVA and UVB sunblock of at least an SPF of 15 every day, even during wintery, cloudy, sunless days. The primary cause of aging of the skin is daily, incidental exposure to the sun without adequate protection.
•
Wear sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB radiation. This will protect the eyes as well as the delicate skin around them.
•
Do not smoke. Smoking diminishes blood supply to the skin causing the skin to age prematurely, as well as take on an unflattering sallow tone.
•
Avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages. Alcohol dehydrates the skin and can cause the skin to age prematurely.
•
Drink plenty of water. Adequate amounts of water not only maintain proper fluid balances, but dilute and flush wastes from the body as well as hydrate the skin.
•
Get ample sleep. Most of our body's repair and rejuvenation occurs during sleep.
•
Eat a nutritious well-balanced diet. A multivitamin supplement may be taken if your diet does not contain the minimal daily requirements of vitamins and minerals.
•
Exercise regularly. It increases the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the skin, which will give you a healthier glow.
