- Q: I am getting married this coming Spring 2008. I want to get started on the right track with skin care now. What can I do to have my skin looking fabulous?
- A: Facials are a great way to jump-start your routine as they nourish, hydrate, and soften your skin. They are tailored to your skin type improving the appearance of acne, sun-damage, redness, or dull, dry skin. It is important to keep up with your at-home skin care regimen in between monthly treatments. I recommend starting facials several months early as these soothing treatments with leave you with a youthful glow for your special day!
- Q: I despise the wrinkles around my eyes and mouth. But I do not want to go under the “knife” or the “needle.” What do you say is second best to Botox or fillers?
- A: My absolute favorite anti-aging products are those that contain collagen-stimulating ingredients such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Retin-A (tretinoin), a Vitamin A derivative, which is only found in physicians offices, is wonderful for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles as well. Be careful, as there are some contraindications and side effects associated with Retin-A. Although, most patients tell me they are extremely happy with the results!
