Gravitational aging Stretching Sagging of soft tissue

Volumetric aging Fat and muscle atrophy (loss) Bone loss Unknown cause

How do we age?

No.1 culprit for skin UVA (aging) – penetrates deeper, though windows UVB (burning) — most effective UV promoter of skin cancer

Both UVA and UVB cause DNA damage

Chronic sun exposure causes: Wrinkles, brown spots, blood vessels, loss of elasticity,

discoloration, leathery skin, facial volume (fat) loss, skin cancer Much slower and later in darker skinned people (melanin)

How do I slow aging down?

Sun protection (most cost effective)

Sunscreen Sun avoidance Sun protective clothing

Antioxidants

Retinoids

Slowing aging: Sunscreen

Sunscreen1,2

Multiple studies show both clinical and microscopic evidence of sunscreen prevention of photoaging

Can reduce damage (solar elastosis) that has already occurred Also prevents skin cancer and pre-skin cancer

Organic (chemical) — absorb UV and convert it to heat Common allergies Some forms are unstable (easily breakdown = less effective)

Inorganic (physical) — block UV Zinc oxide, titanium dioxide combined = broad spectrum (UVA, UVB)

My favorite sunscreen

No. 1: SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion SPF 50 physical blocker, thin, tinted

No. 2: Neutrogena with Helioplex SPF 30+ photostabilized chemical blocker

No. 3: L’Oreal Anthelios with Mexoryl SPF 30+ photostabilized chemical blocker

Slowing aging: Antioxidants

Can prevent and/or reverse photoaging due to free radicals1

Vitamin C (must be in stable, penetrating form) Phloretin Ferulic acid Vitamin E Green tea polyphenols, oral soy isoflavones,

coenzyme Q10 and many more …

Growth factors and peptides can improve photoaging by reducing lines/wrinkles and supporting skin function

11

Slowing aging: Retinoids

1. Rabe JH, Mamelak AJ, McElgunn PJ, Morison WL, Sauder DN. Photoaging: mechanism and repair. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2006 Jul;55(1):1-19.2. Cho S, Lowe L, Hamilton TA, Fisher GJ, Voorhees JJ, Kang S. Long-term treatment of photoaged human skin with topical retinoic acid improves

epidermal cell atypia and thickens the collagen band in papillary dermis. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2005 Nov;53(5):769-74.

Vitamin A and its natural and synthetic derivatives: Retinol Tretinoin Adapalene Tazarotene

Prevent and treat photoaging1, 2

Reduce fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration Boost collagen formation

Often causes irritation, redness, peeling

Minimize side effects with gradual increase in use, using moisturizer

Relax

BOTOX® and Dysport ®

Botulinum toxin type A Block nerve impulses to treated

muscles thereby inhibiting muscle activity that leads to wrinkles

Refill

Fillers Many types: hyaluronic acid, calcium

hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, fat, silicone, collagen, etc.

In general, hyaluronic acid (e.g., JUVEDERM®, Restylane®, Perlane®) are safest

Reversible Allergic reactions are rare

Can be used virtually anywhere on face to minimize wrinkles and replenish volume

Also used on hands, earlobes, depressed scars
