Question:

There are so many types of ways to look younger and it is a little confusing. Can you tell me if chemical skin peels or face lifts work the best for aging skin?

Answer:

There are a number of ways to answer that question, but I usually begin with evaluating the person asking it. In all patients, I advocate maintaining adequate hydration, sun protection, and a consistent skin care regimen. Younger patients are better candidates for chemical peels, while patients who have signs of skin excess are better candidates for face lift procedures. Nevertheless, caring for the skin is a continuous process whether or not it involves surgical procedures. Looking young is not only a state of mind but a state of persistence!
