How much younger can we realistically expect to look?

Dear Dr. Irwin If one comebines minimal invasive techniques such as Botox and Fraxel Laser starting by around Age 30, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle and using sun scream every day, how many years can one realistically expect to look younger? Thank you for your great website with so much uselful information. Kind regards Elizabeth from Switzerland

You’re welcome!!  I love this question – thank you for asking it – because it’s really the bottom line, isn’t it!

I think we really don’t know the answer definatively yet because this field  – the research, knowledge, lasers, injectibles,  radiofrequency, products, etc.  have just progressed hugely and “taken off” in the past 10 years. 

I DO know that I have women in my practice who fit your description above, who are in their 50s and early 60s now and look 10-15 years younger.  Your generation may look even younger when you reach the ages of 50-80.

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
