It would be nice if the years didn\u2019t show on our faces, but like it or not, aging is a natural process that we don\u2019t get to skip. We can, however, help slow down and, in some cases, even reverse some of the natural changes. <\/p>\n<p>When we\u2019re young, our faces have something called a \u201ctriangle of beauty.\u201d The triangle is pointing down, with one point outside of each eyebrow and the final point at the chin. It symbolizes high cheekbones and a defined jawline. But as we age, the triangle slowly inverts. It\u2019s a combination of gravity, reduced bony prominence, thinner skin, and less defined muscles. The cheeks become shallower, the jaw becomes less defined, and jowls may form. <\/p>\n<p>These changes, to varying degrees, will happen to all of us. We can\u2019t stop time from marching on, but we can take the necessary steps to keep our skin at its best. You can start by avoiding smoking, staying hydrated, and having a daily skin care regimen. It\u2019s equally important to protect yourself from UV damage by wearing sunscreen every day. Remember, blue light from our phones and computer screens can damage our skin just like UV damage from the sun, so you need a sunscreen that\u2019s adequately protective even when you\u2019re indoors. <\/p>\n<p>There are a million different skin care products on the market, and some routines are overly complicated. It can all get confusing and overwhelming. If you need any skincare help, we can simplify this and get you started with the perfect four: a cleanser, day cream, night cream, and sunscreen. Just mention \u201cthe perfect four\u201d when you call. And if you\u2019re ready for a slightly more advanced routine, we\u2019ll be glad to help with that, too. <\/p>\n<p>Eye Plastic Associates also offers fillers and Botox to help create a more youthful appearance. During your facial rejuvenation consultation, Dr. Scott will analyze your specific features to determine the best application for structural support to your face to help reduce folds and wrinkles \u2014 without it looking like you had work done. Finally, if your face needs a kickstart, microdermabrasion is an in-office treatment with instant results and absolutely no downtime.<\/p>\n<table class=\"sign_box\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\nIf you have questions about gaining a more youthful look, call us today to schedule a consultation.
