Abstract
The desire of ‘baby‐boomers’ to remain forever young can prove to be a tenuous goal that often eludes most of us. However, with the current popularity and availability of minimally invasive techniques of facial rejuvenation, many people with facial wrinkles and photodamage may be closer to the ideal of at least appearing youthful.Injections of Botulinum toxin (BTX) will remove many of the dynamic wrinkles of the face that denote a negative emotion and give the appearance of being old and tired or even angry and disgusted. These types of wrinkles are produced by hyperactive mimetic muscles of the face, which can be weakened by injections of BTX.The addition of superficial chemical peelings with the alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) can be used to rejuvenate the superficial surface of the face by diminishing the appearance of the fine, static wrinkles of the face, many of which are caused by photodamage and chronological ageing. Daily application of the AHAs in cream form can be used to maintain a supple, healthy glow on the surface of the skin, keeping the telltale wrinkles of the ageing process at bay.
