A Little Wrinkle Reduction Goes a Long Way! Notes from a San Francisco Bay Area Dermatologist

Some people feel overwhelmed when they look in the mirror by all the things they’d like to improve about their face.  But you don’t necessarily need to make a major investment of time or money to look more youthful.  In fact, a new study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology 9(2):79-88, demonstrates how even even modest wrinkle improvement can make someone look much better.  The study reduced the skin “surface topography” or wrinkles in the photos of six women ages 45-65 on their foreheads and around the eyes.  The photos were then shown to male subjects who found the women “significantly younger and more attractive” than in the unmodified photos.  What is of note, is that the surface topography in the photos was only reduced by 20 percent!  This amount of improvement is certainly within reach for people with simple treatments like Botox, filler or even just good skincare products.  Not only is starting with small changes usually the best way for people to enter the world of cosmetic dermatology, but it will also get you looking better than you might expect.
