Skin Rejuvenation

As we age we develop tiny lines and wrinkles that can add years to our face. While some people feel they may look more distinguished, many people do not enjoy the changes that occur. These people are motivated to find a solution to minimize their lines and wrinkles.

Causes of Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Aging, of course, is the largest contributor in the development of facial lines, wrinkles and the overall deterioration of your skin’s health. As we age, our healthy skin cells regenerate at a much slower rate so that our old damaged cells are not replaced as frequently.

Other environmental and lifestyle factors that play a part are overexposure to sun, which accelerates the aging process, stress, hormones and even pollution. These factors all contribute to the damage of skin cells and the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which results in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging.

Treatment for Fine Lines and Wrinkles

There are both medical and surgical approaches to treating your fine lines and wrinkles. One medical option is BOTOX, a quick, painless treatment that can last up to four months. Another option is Obagi Nu-Derm, a skin care system that works to transform your skin to generate younger and healthier looking skin.

In as little at twelve weeks, Obagi works to remove old damaged skin cells to help newer, younger ones reach the surface through a four-phase system. Phases one and two work to remove old cells and replace them with new ones using a combination of cleansers, toners and moisturizers. The goal of phases three and four are to keep new healthy skin cells looking new, feeling smoother, firmer and more even-colored.

Clinical studies have proven that Obagi is two to three times more effective than other commonly prescribed skin care treatments. They have also shown Obagi to be six times more effective in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, a statistic you cannot ignore.

Since the Obagi skin renewal system is physician prescribed, it is important to be diagnosed and monitored by your physician. At Eye Surgical Associates, Dr. Daniel Brownstone, M.D. will work with you to help you achieve the younger, healthier skin you desire.
