Skin Sense: It Takes Two To Reclaim Your Youth

(NAPSI)-As people live longer, healthier lives, there has been an explosion in demand for products and treatments that can make them look as young as they feel. "One day I noticed some aging lines and wanted something that could soften the rough spots and help me look the best that I can," said salon owner Gary Lambert.

Fortunately, several FDA-approved, nonsurgical products, such as the latest developments in collagen and hyaluronic acid, can now be used to temporarily reduce or eliminate wrinkles and unwanted signs of aging.

Collagen is a protein that provides structural support and definition to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a natural sugar that attracts and binds water, hydrating skin to give it volume and a more youthful look.

Over time, sunlight and other factors reduce the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin, causing wrinkles to appear. A growing number of physicians use collagen and hyaluronic acid-based wrinkle fillers together to temporarily replace these critical elements and smooth away un-wanted wrinkles.

"Because each face has a unique physical structure, I often use more than one filler to address my patients' individual needs," said plastic surgeon Dr. Clifford Clark.

Patients are enjoying the benefits of receiving more than one wrinkle treatment in a single office visit.

"I received CosmoPlast in the border of my lips to create shape and Captique to erase smile lines," said Lambert. "I feel like 10 years were taken off my face in a matter of minutes. The result is brilliant."

Combination therapy can be used throughout the face. Physicians are also using collagen and hyaluronic acid in combination with botulinum toxin type A to restore the skin's natural structural support and definition while relaxing the muscles in the forehead.
