Unless someone invents time travel, you can’t reverse the flow of time and become younger. However, with the wide array of dermatologic treatments available today, you can remove many of the effects of aging and photoaging.

There are a lot of treatments available today for skin rejuvenation:

q Medical skin rejuvenation

q Surgical skin rejuvenation

q Chemical peeling

q Soft-tissue augmentation

q Botulinum toxin

q Laser skin resurfacing

q Electro surgical skin resurfacing

q Non-ablative skin treatment

q Liposuction

Sometimes two types of treatment may be combined to make each more effective.

Topically applied treatments are usually most effective when skin manifestations of aging and photoaging are superficial to moderate:

· Tretinoin, a substance in the vitamin A family, has been shown to reduce fine wrinkles, splotchy pigmentation, and rough skin associated with chronic sun exposure. Tretinoin cream 0.02% and 0.05% are the only prescription treatments approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for these indications. Other available forms of tretinoin are indicated for the treatment of acne. Talk to your dermatologist about which tretinoin formulation may be right for you.

· Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHSs) may be used alone or in combination with tretinoin to treat mildly damaged skin. AHAs are derived from fruit and dairy products.

· Over-the-counter products containing retinols (of the vitamin A family), AHA, anti-oxidants and moisturizing agents may temporarily improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

· Topical antioxidants, especially vitamins C and E, function to help cells repair damage caused by ultraviolet radiation and smoking.
