Attacking the Aging Process

When should one start to fight aging? Since people advance in years differently, it is difficult to pinpoint a specific age. Everyone is unique, so it is important to consult a plastic surgeon about your specific case. He or she can develop a rejuvenation plan that is appropriate for you.

As we age it becomes more difficult to retain a youthful, healthy glow. Therefore, many people seek medical treatment to restore this look. Having a young appearance improves self esteem and adds a boost of confidence. In addition to surgery, there are also many minimally invasive procedures available which can help to turn back the clock.

Cell replacement slows down as we age leaving the skin drier and thinner. Hydration and moisturizer help to combat this process. In addition, sun screen with an SPF of at least 15 is a useful tool.

As collagen production slows the skin sags and wrinkles appear. The texture of the skin will change becoming duller with enlarged pores. In addition, signs of photodamage become prominent as age spots and freckles are more visible. These changes can be fought with chemical peels, exfoliators, and eyelid surgery.

In your 50s, fat cells will begin to collect around your chin and neck. At the same time, you will lose volume from your cheeks. Facelifts and cheek implants serve as common remedies for these issues.
