Alas, as we age, our skin grows tired. Its two main proteins—collagen, which gives skin its “plumpness,” and elastin, which enables skin to “snap back” into shape after, say, flexing for a smile—begin to degrade. Our oil glands also become less active, leaving our skin looking dry and tired. Part of this degradation is a natural outcome of the aging process. But another part—a big part—is our own doing. You may have spent too much time in the sun, unprotected. Or perhaps you smoked. Both habits speed up the breakdown of collagen and elastin.

Today, thanks to the development of a wide variety of new, highly effective procedures and technologies, skin can be rejuvenated. You’ll never have the skin of a 20-year-old again, but your skin can look smoother, more vibrant—in other words, healthier. Many of these treatments, which include laser therapies, phototherapy, radiofrequency therapies, and dermal fillers, are non-invasive. Some can even be done over your lunch hour. So call a physician today and schedule a personal skin evaluation. Have a detailed conversation with him or her about your skin and its needs. It’s never too late to rejuvenate your skin—and reenergize your life.
