WHAT IS NEW

In today's world there is no excuse to look your age. Men and women seeking a way to look younger no longer need to have surgery to get results. The latest options for non-surgical age erasers is growing everyday.

ARTES MEDICAL's is a new FDA-approved dermal filler, ARTEFILL(R). This is a good treatment for smile lines. This product stays under the skin,providing volume between wrinkles and encourages collagen production. Artes has submitted data to the FDA in March claiming results may last up to five years.

Last year CYNOSURE'S AFFIRM came out with a new laser treatment. This treatment uniquely uses three different laser energy sources to reduce wrinkles, treat scars and fix skin discoloration. The treatment lasts 15 minutes and is recommended once a month for four to six months. Redness can last up to 24 hours. It is also noted that doctors using this service can add a feature that remodels collagen and tightens skin.

You have endless choices if you'd rather get rid of wrinkles via lotion. A Florida dermatologist, Dr. Gary Goldaden, created an antioxidant red tea to make your hands as young as your face. Antioxidant reduce the harmful effects of free radicals and protect skin from additional stress and damage. It takes approximately six weeks to notice a difference.

B.Kamis moisturizer was developed by chemists Ben Kaminsky. The moisturizer is an antioxidant emulsion that gradually lessons the depth of wrinkles and plumps the skin.

Experts from the American Academy of Dermatology recommend products beyond antioxidants. Products with peptides stimulate collagen production and thickens skin; growth factors which play a role in new cell and blood vessel growth as well as the production and distribution of collegian and elastin. Botanicals reduce inflammation and hydroxy acids make skin brighter and smoother.

It is always wise to look for products that reference clinical trials or show before and after photos.
