How To Look Younger Than Age?

I am a 60 yo female who looks like 70 or 75. I have been a smoker for 40+ years. I finally quit smoking this past Friday, but the effects are very visual. Ultherapy is what I was looking into. What do you think? Looking for a job employers really look at your appearance. Also, I have always been very independent (Air Force Retiree), but now I want to appeal men. I know it sounds superficial, but that s how men are.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern to look younger than age. I can get from your history that you are 60 years of age and are smoker too. It is really good that you quit smoking which is sole most important cause of aging lines to appear fast.

In your kind of cases I generally analyze the skin and see for the aging lines and the appearance. I generally prescribe few anti- aging ointments containing glycolic acid and vitamin C serum or Tretinoin cream in various combinations.

If at all the result is not seen with the use of above regimen then I go for chemical peeling and laser rejuvenation of face.

I also suggest you to take best of nutritive diet to improve the nutritional reserves and replenish the vitamin contents. It not only rejuvenates the skin but also will give you the active status.

All the best.
