Can wrinkles be... Reversed? Perhaps. Given the "split personality" of a wrinkle, injections or treatments that stimulate collagen production address part of the problem. One of the more promising areas under research is boosting collagen production to bolster cells at the bottom of the wrinkle. But as long as you continue the same facial motions, wrinkles can never be completely reversed. Stopped? BOTOX (botulism toxin type A) injections will paralyze the facial muscles that form frowns, but the effect only lasts for 4 to 6 months. Cured? No. Although diet can affect skin, no scientific research supports the theory that eating certain foods or taking antioxidant vitamins cures wrinkles. Prevented? While nothing can prevent wrinkles caused by repetitive motion, you can prevent wrinkling and other skin damage that results from UV exposure. Irritated skin wrinkles faster because external irritants or dehydration disrupts the skin's barrier function, making it more vulnerable to UV and environmental damage. Repaired? Yes. Skin in optimum condition is better able to resist wrinkles and devote more energies to repair. Today's sophisticated treatment technologies offer several non-invasive options to support the skin's natural repair functions |

Non-Invasive Skin
Repair Options -Formulations that work with skin's natural repair cycle, supplying extra energy and nutrients to skin in repair mode, protecting skin during periods of UV/environmental assault. -Topical treatments that counteract free-radical damage by delivering absorbable antioxidants directly to skin cells. -Daily care that restores and maintains a strong moisture barrier. What are my best options? Daily consistent preventative measures: -Wear a broad-spectrum UVA / UVB sunscreen of SPF 15 and up, starting at the earliest possible age. Look for UVA filters such as titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or avobenzone (Parsol 1789). -Choose daily skin care and treatments that reduce the chance of irritation. -Make proper hydration a daily priority for all skin types. -Reduce repetitive motions-quit smoking, wear sunglasses to avoid squinting, etc. -Cut out excess sugar from your diet. (Sugar is one of the fastest ways to deep six your skin.) - |

Typical Treatments
There are a number of options for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, each with varied expense, recovery time and results. The following are the most common conventional treatments used today: Nonprescription and Prescription Topicals: The simplest method of skin treatment is the topical application of wrinkle creams. Widely available everywhere from pharmacies to health food stores, these creams are beneficial for the skin, helping to moisturize and nourish it. However, their ability to reduce wrinkles, smooth skin and tighten collagen below the skin's surface is, unfortunately, very limited. In addition, any visible improvement may disappear when use of the topical agent is discontinued. Topical application of prescription drugs, most notably synthetic derivatives of Vitamin A (retinoids), can provide better results in improving sun-damaged and aging skin. Clinical studies of topical retinoid formulations find them to be safe and effective in diminishing fine wrinkles. However, most retinoids are skin irritants and often produce skin reactions. Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion: Dermabrasion is a traditional skin-clearing procedure that has been widely used in practice since the early 1980s. Sometimes called surgical skin planing, it commonly involves removal or sanding of the skin with a rotary abrasive instrument. The abrasive or planing action evens out the skin, and a new layer of fresh skin replaces the abraded skin. This procedure is usually reserved for extensive acne scarring and deep wrinkles. Due to its mechanical nature, healing and recovery are lengthy, with the treated area remaining red and flushed for an extended period of time. Microdermabrasion, in contrast, is a more recently introduced treatment. It is particularly popular among individuals with mild skin damage seeking to preserve and maintain a youthful complexion. Essentially, microdermabrasion involves brushing the face with sterile micro-particles to abrade or rub off the very top skin layer, then vacuuming the particles and dermabraded skin away. Experts believe the procedure works best to polish and soften fine lines and dull skin texture. In most cases, a minimum of four to five initial treatments, seven to ten days apart, are necessary to achieve good results. Chemical Peels: Another major advance in warding off the ravages of age was the advent of the chemical peel. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to separate and peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother, tighter and displays a more even color than the old skin. Peels are beneficial for fine lines and minor skin imperfections, and are performed as a single procedure or in a series.
Laser Skin Resurfacing The goal of laser skin resurfacing is simple: replace damaged skin with new, fresh skin. Techniques for skin resurfacing have made enormous advances, allowing consumers to achieve nearly flawless complexions. Many systems allow for light, moderate or deep laser resurfacing. The primary targets of laser skin resurfacing include:
How it Works
What to Expect Facial blemishes receive resurfacing sessions, which generally last 30 to 60 minutes. After the patient consultation, anesthesia is administered. This can be done topically, via injection, or through general anesthesia. The patient wears protective laser eyewear. The treatment practitioner applies the laser instrument to the area of treatment and precisely removes thin layers of skin. Many patients only require one UltraPulse CO2 laser treatment to achieve significant long-lasting results. When light resurfacing is performed, patients can typically return to normal activities within four to five days, and redness commonly disappears within three to five weeks. Laser resurfacing can restore skin to a healthy state, similar to that of skin that has not experienced sun damage or scarring. With proper sun protection, results can last for more than five years.

Free radicals are believed to contribute to aging and certain diseases. To neutralize free radicals, your body uses antioxidants — certain vitamins, minerals and enzymes — that come from the food you eat. Proponents believe that antioxidants can prevent chronic diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes. Some antioxidants you may have heard of include:
The best way to give your body the antioxidants it needs is to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. If you can't obtain all the nutrients you need from food, your doctor may recommend using supplements to make up for any deficiencies. Also, if you have certain medical conditions, such as macular degeneration, your doctor may recommend that you supplement your diet with antioxidants. There's no proof that antioxidants in pill form can improve your general health or extend your life. In fact, they can have the opposite effect. For instance, smokers who take beta carotene supplements might actually increase their risk of lung cancer. If you're interested in increasing the amount of antioxidants in your diet, talk to your doctor before you start taking supplements. And remember, there's nothing harmful about adding a few servings of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables to your diet. LINK http://www.mayoclinic.com/invoke.cfm?id=HQ00233
