Anti-aging treatments, such as skincare and cosmetic procedures, can help boost self-confidence, which in turn can improve other aspects of one’s overall quality of life. They also play an important role in preventing skin damage and premature skin aging. People who undergo anti-aging treatments can expect to keep their skin firmer, smoother, and healthier, along with a more youthful appearance, for much longer than those who do not take advantage of these benefits. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that provides the skin with structure and strength. Many anti-aging treatments stimulate collagen production in the skin, which naturally declines over time as part of aging. By increasing collagen production, many anti-aging treatments can help prevent and even reverse some signs of aging. Thanks to advances in cosmetic dermatology, a variety of non-invasive anti-aging procedures now deliver consistently impressive rejuvenation results with little to no downtime. This makes accessible, low-maintenance anti-aging treatment a reality for everyone.

The Best NYC Anti-Aging Skin Treatments

While surgical treatments like facelifts and eyebrow lifts can reduce signs of aging, they carry numerous risks and require considerable time for recovery. These procedures can cause side effects, visible scars, and can be very expensive. Although a surgical option might benefit some, it mainly targets sagging skin and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; however, it does not directly address age spots. That’s where non-surgical cosmetic treatments can be effective! Botox injections remain the most popular anti-aging treatment worldwide. Botox is an injectable neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to prevent repeated contractions, which lead to dynamic wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane, Juvederm, Belotero, and Sculptra, are among the most popular injectables that fight visible signs of aging by replacing lost collagen and restoring lost volume. Cosmetic laser treatments like Fraxel laser, Thermage, VBeam, and Clear + Brilliant can treat age spots, skin laxity, rosacea, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. An experienced, board-certified dermatologist, such as Dr. Michele Green, can help you navigate the wide range of anti-aging options to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific cosmetic goals.

Botox for Anti-Aging

Botox, also known as botulinum toxin, is an injectable neurotoxin considered the gold standard treatment for dynamic fine lines and facial wrinkles, and it is currently the most popular non-invasive aesthetic medical procedure in the United States. Dynamic wrinkles are those that develop from repeated facial expressions over time, particularly in the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. Injecting Botox into targeted facial muscles blocks nerve signals that control muscle movement to reduce the muscle’s ability to contract fully. Neurotoxins like Dysport, Xeomin, Daxxify, and Jeuveau are like Botox and can also be used to diminish the appearance of dynamic fine lines and wrinkles. Typically, Botox and its alternatives provide cosmetic results lasting up to four months. However, Daxxify, the newest neurotoxin on the market, offers longer-lasting effects, with results lasting around six months. Most patients undergo regular maintenance treatments to maintain optimal cosmetic results.

Dermal Fillers for Skin Rejuvenation

For correcting age-related volume loss, enhancing facial definition and contour, and reducing wrinkles, dermal fillers are an excellent treatment option. Dermal filler injections can be customized to meet each patient’s specific needs and aesthetic goals.

Allergan, the maker of Botox, developed the Juvéderm® collection of fillers. Juvederm is a smooth, injectable gel that is injected into the mid-to-deep dermal layer of the skin. Each different Juvederm dermal filler has its own unique properties and is designed to target specific areas of the body, offering a range of treatment options. Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler that replenishes the body’s natural hyaluronic acid, which is currently being depleted.

Juvederm Ultra Plus XC: Juvederm Ultra Plus XC is a hyaluronic acid filler formulated to treat moderate to severe nasolabial folds, smile lines, and marionette lines. It is also used for lip enhancement. Juvederm Ultra Plus XC includes lidocaine to help reduce injection discomfort.
Juvederm Voluma XC: Juvederm Voluma is the ideal Juvederm Voluma is the perfect dermal filler for adding volume to the midface, cheeks, and chin. Voluma aims to improve facial contour and definition, lift the cheeks, reduce the appearance of jowls, and fill in age-related hollows.
Juvederm Vollure: Juvederm Vollure is a dermal filler specifically designed to treat deep nasolabial folds, providing cosmetic results that last up to 18 months.

Juvederm Volux: Juvederm Volux is the first-ever Juvederm Volux is the first FDA-approved dermal filler specifically for jawline augmentation. Made with patented Vycross technology for long-lasting, natural-looking results, Juvederm Volux can enhance jawline definition, smooth facial wrinkles, reduce jowls, and improve facial contours. As a thicker hyaluronic acid gel, it offers skin rejuvenation results that last between 6 and 18 months.

The Restylane family of products, manufactured by Galderma, has become a popular choice among hyaluronic acid dermal fillers since the original Restylane dermal filler was approved by the FDA in 2003. Restylane is a dermal filler that is biodegradable and fully biocompatible with the already existing hyaluronic acid that is present in your skin. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, providing the skin with essential hydration and a supple, youthful appearance. When hyaluronic acid is strategically injected by an expert like Dr. Michele Green in NYC, it restores youthful volume to your skin. The Restylane family of products comprises several distinct products and utilizes the unique NASHA technology, which gives each product its unique particle size.

Restylane-L: Restylane-L was the original form of Restylane. Restylane-L was the original Restylane dermal filler, used to correct moderate facial wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth corners, marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and the tear trough area (under the eyes). Restylane-L is also an excellent dermal filler for subtle lip augmentation, capable of producing very natural volume enhancement. Dr. Green frequently uses Restylane with subcision to treat depressed acne scars, resulting in a smoother, more even skin texture.
Restylane Lyft: Restylane Lyft is made of a thicker Restylane Lyft consists of a thicker hyaluronic acid gel, commonly used in treatment areas needing extra support. It is a great dermal filler option for restoring age-related facial volume loss in the cheeks and for addressing deep wrinkles around the mouth, marionette lines, and deep nasolabial folds. It is also FDA-approved for hand rejuvenation and can enhance the appearance of thin, wrinkled, and aging hands.
Restylane Kysse: Restylane Kysse is a distinctive Restylane Kysse is a unique hyaluronic acid lip filler that, in addition to reducing fine lines around the mouth and increasing lip volume, also boosts hydration and enhances the natural color of the lips. The result is beautifully luscious lips that last a long time, with noticeable effects for up to one year.
Restylane Defyne and Refyne: Restylane Defyne® is ideal for addressing deep smile and laugh lines, while Restylane Refyne® is better suited for moderate smile and laugh lines. Both products consist of Restylane Defyne®, which is perfect for treating deep smile and laugh lines, while Restylane Refyne® is better suited for moderate smile and laugh lines. Both products are made of hyaluronic acid and feature innovative XpresHAn Technology. Restylane Defyne may also be used for non-surgical chin enhancement.
Restylane Contour: Restylane Contour is the ideal Restylane Contour is the perfect dermal filler for cheek enhancement and fixing midface contour volume loss. It uses a special XpresHAn technology that delivers a unique texture. This enables it to add volume to improve midface contours while staying flexible enough to move naturally with facial expressions.
Restylane Silk: Restylane Silk was developed with a unique, refined formula and a relatively small particle size. This Restylane Silk was created with a unique, refined formula and a relatively small particle size. This dermal filler is designed for precise lip shaping and smoothing of fine lines around the mouth, providing a natural-looking lip and mouth rejuvenation.
Restylane Eyelight: Restylane Eyelight is the first dermal filler approved by the FDA specifically for treating under-eye hollows. This advanced hyaluronic acid filler, developed using NASHA technology, is specifically designed to fill tear troughs, thereby reducing the appearance of dark circles caused by volume loss or natural hollows. Restylane Eyelight can provide natural-looking rejuvenation results that last up to 18 months.

Sculptra is a distinctive dermal filler because it is made from a substance called poly-L-lactic acid. Once injected, poly-L-lactic acid stimulates the production of new collagen. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that provides the skin with increased structural support, a firm and smooth texture, and a more youthful appearance. By encouraging collagen production, Sculptra can restore volume lost due to aging, improve the look of textural acne scars, and be used for wrinkle reduction or volume enhancement on the face, neck, chest, buttocks, and hips. Most patients require a short series of three Sculptra treatments, each spaced one month apart. It usually takes about 4 to 6 weeks to see the results from each session. Once the desired results are achieved, the effects of Sculptra can last up to two years.

Belotero Balance is an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid injectable product made by Merz. It stands out because it is produced using the proprietary Cohesive Polydensified Matrix (CPM) process. This creates a smooth, flexible hyaluronic acid gel that, once injected, blends naturally into the skin and effectively fills facial wrinkles and fine lines with even distribution. Belotero is especially effective for reducing fine lines around the mouth and for under-eye rejuvenation. An experienced injector, such as board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green, will select the most suitable dermal fillers based on visible signs of aging, facial anatomy, and your aesthetic goals.

Microneedling involves using a handheld device with tiny needles to puncture the skin and create micro-injuries on its surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, resulting in increased production of the proteins collagen and elastin. As collagen and elastin levels rise, the new skin formed during healing becomes smoother, brighter, and tighter. This gives the skin a more subtle, youthful appearance and helps reduce the visibility of wrinkles, acne scars, discoloration, and enlarged pores.

Microneedling sessions can be further enhanced by combining the cosmetic procedure with the application of Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP. PRP is a serum rich in epidermal growth factors, derived from a sample of the patient’s blood. After collecting the blood sample, it is spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. The plasma is then drawn into sterile syringes and applied topically to the skin’s surface following microneedling. The microneedling process creates microchannels that improve the serum’s absorption, speeding up the healing process and further stimulating collagen production.

Platelet-rich plasma is a great option; however, for patients mainly interested in treating hyperpigmentation, combining microneedling with a depigmenting serum delivers excellent cosmetic results. Whether it is melasma, age spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or pigmented acne scars, a microneedling facial with a depigmenting serum is a safe and effective way to achieve a more even skin tone and radiant complexion. The depigmenting serum used at Dr. Michele Green’s private dermatology office is a unique blend of powerful yet gentle skin-brightening agents that reduce melanocyte activity in the skin. The result is an even-toned complexion with a noticeable reduction in hyperpigmentation.

Chemical Peels as an anti-aging treatment

Chemical peels are a skin resurfacing treatment that speeds up skin cell renewal, effectively removing the skin’s outer layer through chemical means. This procedure involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which reacts to eliminate dead cells and promote the growth of new, healthy skin that is more even in tone and texture. Different types of chemical peels vary depending on the chemical solution used and the depth of penetration into the skin. There are three main levels of chemical peel: superficial, medium, and deep. Each addresses different skin concerns and requires different recovery times. The deeper the peel, the longer the downtime needed afterward. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green at her private office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, she will tailor your chemical peel to match your specific needs and aesthetic goals.

Thermage FLX Skin tightening anti-aging laser treatment

Thermage is a skin-tightening procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to generate controlled heat in the dermis. This treatment stimulates the production of elastin and collagen deep within the skin layers to achieve a smoother texture, reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and cellulite, and tighten the skin. Thermage is an excellent non-surgical option for patients with skin laxity, offering natural-looking rejuvenation that can last up to two years. The initial results of Thermage become visible 4 to 6 months after the procedure.

There is no downtime, so patients can immediately return to their usual daily activities and easily schedule their treatments. Besides improving skin elasticity on the face and jowls, Thermage can also be used on the neck, chest, décolletage, upper arms, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks. Many patients seeking a non-surgical facelift include Thermage in their treatment plans along with complementary cosmetic procedures like Fraxel laser resurfacing or Botox injections. When you consult with board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green at her private office in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, she will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that best aligns with your skin rejuvenation goals.

What is the Best Facial Anti-aging Treatment?

The most effective anti-aging treatments often combine topical, cosmetic, and laser therapies. Since everyone’s skin is unique, various options are available to support the aging process. Adding active ingredients like retinol to your skincare routine can be helpful; it exfoliates the skin and boosts cell turnover, aiding in maintaining an even and clear complexion while removing dirt from pores. However, retinol should be used carefully and avoided by people with skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. Other ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, help your skin retain moisture, supporting the health of your skin barrier. With many products on the market, it’s wise to consult a board-certified dermatologist to develop the most effective skincare plan for your specific needs.

Botox and fillers are effective options for restoring volume and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles. These minimally invasive treatments help address volume loss and may even reverse signs of aging. There are many different injections, each unique in its formulation. The best choice depends on your stage of aging and your personal aesthetic goals. When receiving injections such as Botox, Juvederm, or Sculptra, it is crucial to consult a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience, like Dr. Green, to reduce the risk of side effects, including unevenness, infection, or scarring.

Laser therapy is very popular in the anti-aging field because it heats deeper skin layers, promotes skin repair, and evens out skin tone and texture. Lasers such as Fraxel, Vbeam, and Thermage are effective treatments for smoothing the skin and stimulating collagen production. An extra benefit of laser treatments is that they are minimally invasive and usually have little downtime. To find the best treatment for reversing the signs of aging, it’s best to consult with a board-certified dermatologist, such as Dr. Michele Green in NYC.

The most effective anti-aging treatment is a personalized combination approach guided by a board-certified dermatologist like Dr. Green, who has the skill and experience to select the best cosmetic procedures and skin care products for your unique skin condition. Unfortunately, there is no single anti-aging treatment that can solve all skin concerns related to aging. Multiple treatments are often necessary to address fine lines and wrinkles, skin laxity, dullness, uneven texture and tone, and facial volume loss. During your consultation with Dr. Michele Green, you will have the chance to discuss your cosmetic goals and create a customized treatment plan designed to meet your anti-aging needs.

What is the Best Anti-Aging Skincare?

Signs of aging can begin as early as your 20s when collagen production in the skin starts to decline. While aging is inevitable, we can take steps to reverse wrinkles and sun damage. Using sunscreen is one of the most important parts of an anti-aging skincare routine. The sun’s ultraviolet rays can penetrate deep into the skin, damaging DNA at the cellular level. These UV rays not only increase the risk of skin cancer but also cause visible signs of aging, such as brown spots, wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity, and uneven skin tone or texture. Sunscreens should have an SPF of at least 50 for effective protection and need to be reapplied every 90 minutes, especially after sweating or swimming. UV rays can reflect off surfaces like water, sand, snow, and pavement, which actually intensifies their strength. That’s why it’s essential to wear sunscreen and protective clothing. Remember, UV rays can penetrate clouds, so even on cloudy days, it’s essential to apply sunscreen and cover up.

Other skincare products can help reduce the signs of aging skin. Retinol, vitamin C, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) are some of the most common ingredients in anti-aging skincare. Retinol, a topical form of vitamin A, stimulates skin cell turnover and collagen production to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, protects the skin from sun damage by neutralizing free radicals caused by UV rays. It also promotes skin cell renewal and collagen growth, improving skin texture and tone. AHAs and BHAs are chemical exfoliants that gently break down the bonds between dead and healthy skin cells, revealing a brighter, healthier complexion. These anti-aging ingredients help smooth fine lines and enhance both skin tone and texture. Retinoids are a type of skincare product derived from vitamin A that accelerates skin cell turnover. Dead skin cells shed more quickly, uncovering healthy new skin. This results in improved skin tone, texture, and a healthy, radiant glow. Retinoids are crucial in an anti-aging skincare routine because they also help boost new collagen production. Collagen provides the skin with added support, a firm, smooth texture, and a more youthful appearance. Retinoids are available over the counter and by prescription.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Anti-Aging Treatment

What is the best Anti-Aging Laser Resurfacing treatment?

Fraxel is an FDA-approved laser resurfacing treatment known as the gold standard for anti-aging. Often called the “magic eraser” by Dr. Green, Fraxel uniquely improves both skin texture and tone. The Fraxel Dual laser addresses a variety of skin concerns, from hyperpigmentation and age spots to fine lines and textural irregularities, by using two different wavelengths. It employs fractional laser technology to create targeted microscopic injuries beneath the skin’s surface, which stimulate the skin’s natural healing process and boost collagen and elastin production. Recovery time is minimal, with mild facial redness and swelling being the most common side effects, which typically last a few days. Most patients require an initial series of three to five Fraxel treatments, spaced about a month apart, to effectively treat sun damage, fine lines, and other visible signs of skin aging.

At what age should you start anti-aging treatments?

Many people start Many people begin anti-aging treatments in their 20s to stay ahead of the aging process. While starting these treatments early isn’t always necessary, many patients choose to do so as a preventative measure. However, the treatments they use in their 20s may change as they get older. It’s helpful to stay consistent with applying SPF30 daily, since the sun speeds up signs of aging. Starting retinol in your 20s can also be beneficial, not only for anti-aging but also for increasing skin cell turnover, which helps exfoliate your skin and clear pores. While an early start has benefits, it’s important not to begin before age 20, as strong ingredients can harm young skin’s developing barrier, leading to irritation, dryness, and sensitivity. For all age groups, the best ways to prevent aging include using sunscreen, staying hydrated, and getting enough sleep.

What are the best anti-aging products and ingredients?

An anti-aging skincare routine should include several essential products. The active ingredients you choose will vary slightly based on your skin type. Sunscreen is arguably the most important part of any skincare routine, especially for preventing signs of aging caused by sun damage. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, your sunscreen should have an SPF of at least 30 and offer broad-spectrum protection, shielding skin from both UVA and UVB rays. Dr. Green agrees and recommends applying multiple layers of sunscreen for optimal protection. If you burn easily or have a history of skin cancer, it’s best to avoid sun exposure altogether.

Dr. Green’s Vitamin C serum for anti-aging is an antioxidant that helps address various skin concerns related to aging. Vitamin C is crucial for the body’s production of collagen and elastin. Applying Vitamin C topically can help rejuvenate aging and sun-damaged skin. It also fights free radicals and environmental pollutants that can harm the skin. Vitamin C improves dark spots, brown spots, skin texture, tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. Additionally, Vitamin C serum effectively reduces redness from rosacea and minimizes the appearance of blood vessels on the face. Dr. Green’s Vitamin C serum is the best-selling product in her MGSKINLABs, Inc. line.

Hydrating moisturizers are vital for anti-aging skincare. The most popular moisturizer at Dr. Green’s office is the Absolute Recovery Anti-wrinkle cream. With a mix of anti-aging ingredients and rich emollients, this moisturizer helps soothe damaged skin and improve its appearance. Hydra Repair is the ideal hyaluronic acid serum. It boosts collagen production and is an excellent anti-aging serum, making your skin look younger.

Exfoliate your skin regularly to maintain a healthy, bright complexion. The skin on your face is especially delicate and sensitive compared to the rest of your body, so avoid using harsh scrubs or physical tools like loofahs. Instead, choose chemical exfoliants such as glycolic acid or hydroxy acids. These gentle exfoliants effectively remove dead skin cells and debris from the surface.

HydraFacials for Anti-Aging

Anti-aging facials are non-invasive treatments that target signs of aging to improve skin brightness and promote a youthful appearance. They often include a mix of active ingredients that help restore volume, enhance elasticity, provide hydration, and exfoliate dead skin cells and dirt for healthier skin.

Dr. Green frequently recommends HydraFacial—a professional-grade facial suitable for all skin types that provides anti-aging benefits. A HydraFacial includes three steps: cleanse and peel, extract and hydrate, and fuse and protect. Its benefits resemble those of microdermabrasion; instead of using micro-crystals for exfoliation, HydraFacial uses Vortex-Fusion technology in its handpiece and spiral tip to remove oil, dirt, and debris while also delivering potent nutrient and antioxidant serums to the skin. HydraFacial can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enhance elasticity and firmness, even out skin tone, improve texture, and clear oily and congested skin.

The HydraFacial experience can be customized to target specific skin concerns and enhance anti-aging benefits using various HydraFacial Boosters. The Britenol booster contains alpha arbutin, a natural skin brightener, and vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, to lighten hyperpigmentation such as sun spots and age spots, resulting in a brighter complexion. The Dermabuilder booster features a blend of peptides that stimulate collagen production, restoring skin elasticity, improving tone, and reducing the appearance of signs of aging. The ReGen GF booster effectively addresses textural issues by promoting collagen and elastin production with a unique peptide complex. By increasing collagen synthesis, fine lines and wrinkles are minimized, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Do anti-aging face creams work?

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Anti-aging creams effectively boost skin moisture, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Their effectiveness depends on the active ingredients they contain. For example, retinol has been proven to decrease fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. Collagen is the protein that supports the skin’s structure, and we lose it as we age. Therefore, retinoids and retinol in anti-aging creams can be very effective in treating and preventing early signs of aging. Antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E in these creams are excellent for protecting the skin from free radical damage caused by the sun (though wearing sunscreen daily is recommended for proper protection). Creams containing ceramides can help lock in moisture. Ceramides are fatty acids naturally found in the skin’s outer layer, shielding against environmental stressors and dehydration. Hyaluronic acid is another hydrating ingredient, acting as a humectant that draws moisture from the environment to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. This creates a plumping effect, temporarily reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The goal of anti-aging cream is to hydrate the skin, creating a plumping effect that smooths the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Many anti-aging creams contain extra active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid to provide both hydration and anti-aging benefits. While anti-aging creams cannot stop or reverse aging, they can certainly improve the skin’s appearance temporarily. As we age, our skin loses its ability to retain moisture, resulting in a dull look. Anti-aging creams work to plump the skin, restoring a brighter, more youthful appearance.

The American Academy of Dermatology states that using anti-aging skincare products offers numerous benefits, including maintaining skin elasticity, achieving a more even skin tone and texture, enhancing radiance, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to making skin firmer, smoother, and tighter, and boosting overall radiance and tone, staying revitalized with anti-aging treatments can increase self-confidence. Greater self-confidence can lead to an improved quality of life and motivate people to enhance other areas of their lives. Anti-aging skincare benefits both skin health and appearance, as well as overall and mental well-being.

What is the right age to start using an anti-aging cream?

There’s no “right” age to start using There’s no “right” age to start using anti-aging cream, but beginning in your 20s or 30s can yield the best results and help prevent early signs of aging. At this stage, your skin is mature enough to handle the active ingredients in these products. It’s also early enough to take a preventive approach and stop future wrinkles and fine lines from forming. However, to decide if an anti-aging cream is suitable for you, it’s best to consult a board-certified dermatologist, such as Dr. Green, who can help slow down the signs of aging.

Are anti-aging creams bad for young skin?

Although it is safe to use anti-aging creams in your youth, they are not necessary and may not provide significant results. Collagen production begins to decline at a faster rate than it is produced, typically starting around age 25. This skin protein helps create a strong foundation and improves structural support, resulting in smooth, firm, and flexible skin. As collagen decreases, early signs of aging often include wrinkles and fine lines. Many people begin using anti-aging treatments, such as cosmetic procedures and skincare products, as early as their mid-20s.

Which serum is best for anti-aging?

Anti-aging serums are an essential part of an anti-aging skincare routine, along with broad-spectrum sunscreen. They are rich in high concentrations of active ingredients proven to target signs of aging. Serums are generally lighter than creams, lotions, and eye creams, which allows for better absorption of active ingredients. People can tailor their routines by selecting serums with ingredients aimed at specific aging signs they want to address or prevent. Serums with vitamin A derivatives, such as retinoids and retinol, are among the most popular options. When incorporating retinol into your skincare routine, it is essential to use sun protection, as this active ingredient can make the skin photosensitive, potentially leading to sunburn. Dr. Michele Green in NYC is an internationally renowned, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with over 25 years of experience. She has developed an anti-aging serum called the Essential Antioxidant Infusion for her proprietary line, MGSKINLABS, Inc. This serum contains a pure blend of vitamins A, C, and E, along with other vital nutrients, to exfoliate, renew, and revitalize the skin. Regular use of this serum can lead to healthier skin, a more youthful appearance, reduced visible lines and wrinkles, improved skin elasticity, and better skin texture.

Why is retinol good for anti-aging? Which retinol is best for anti-aging?

Retinol is an effective active ingredient for anti-aging because it enhances skin cell turnover and promotes the production of new collagen. Collagen, the most abundant protein in the skin, provides structural support, resulting in a firm, smooth, and tight skin texture. Collagen levels naturally decline with age, and replenishing collagen is an efficient way to prevent and address signs of aging. Retinols, tretinoin, and other retinoids are derived from vitamin A and are used topically to speed up skin cell turnover. Many types of retinols are available, both over-the-counter and by prescription. Tretinoin is among the strongest retinol products and is only available through a prescription from a board-certified dermatologist. Retin-A is a vitamin A-based prescription that helps reverse and prevent various signs of aging. Retinoids improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help even out pigmentation, tone, and texture.

Retinoids boost collagen and elastin production, which helps reduce pore size. They also stimulate fibroblasts, the cells that maintain your skin’s firmness and youthful look. Retin-A is only available by prescription from a dermatologist, such as Dr. Green. It is essential to consult a dermatologist when initiating retinoid treatment, as side effects such as peeling, redness, and photosensitivity require close monitoring. Many patients choose retinol over Retin-A to avoid its irritating side effects. Retinols also promote skin cell turnover, improve skin tone and texture, help treat brown spots, stimulate collagen production, and enhance blood flow to the skin. When incorporating retinols into your skincare routine, it is important to apply sunscreen with an SPF of 50 and reapply every 1.5-2 hours to ensure your skin does not burn in the sun. Dr. Green’s Essential Antioxidant Infusion contains a potent blend of antioxidants and retinol, which she recommends for use at night to stimulate collagen and promote healthy, radiant skin.

Is Hyaluronic Acid Anti-Aging?

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide, or sugar molecule, that naturally occurs in the body’s connective tissues to provide cushioning and lubrication. Hyaluronic acid is a humectant, meaning it can hold more than its weight in water. As we age, our bodies lose their ability to store hyaluronic acid, leading to volume loss in the face and a more skeletal appearance. Using hyaluronic acid in skincare products helps hydrate the skin deeply and creates a plumping, vibrant effect. When applied topically, hyaluronic acid can temporarily soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, but it won’t permanently reverse signs of aging.

Popular dermal fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero are made of hyaluronic acid. They quickly restore volume to areas such as cheeks and lips and can also be injected into nasolabial folds and the corners of the mouth to reduce deep wrinkles. When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid fillers can also stimulate collagen production, helping skin stay firm and healthy-looking.

Is Collagen Anti-Aging?

While the loss of While the loss of While the loss of collagen is a main cause of aging signs like skin sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles, applying collagen topically with skincare products does not increase collagen production. Collagen molecules are too large to pass through the skin’s outer layer, so they can’t reach the deeper dermal layers where collagen and elastin are found. Oral collagen supplements have become popular for their anti-aging claims. When collagen is ingested, the body breaks it down into amino acids or protein building blocks to promote collagen production. Current research indicates that peptides containing essential amino acids for collagen, such as proline, glycine, and hydroxyproline, help maintain skin’s collagen levels. Studies suggest collagen supplements may reduce wrinkles, slow skin aging, and rejuvenate the skin, improving hydration and elasticity. However, the mechanisms behind their effects, possible side effects, and the longevity of the results have not been thoroughly studied.

Is Glycolic Acid Anti-Aging?

Yes. Glycolic acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) commonly used in skincare products. AHAs are a form of chemical exfoliant that gently break the bonds between dead skin cells and healthy ones, helping to remove dead skin cells. Glycolic acid molecules are the smallest among AHAs, allowing them to penetrate deeply into the skin. By stimulating skin cell turnover, dead skin cells are sloughed off to make room for new, healthy skin cells to grow. Due to its exfoliating properties, glycolic acid can help reduce hyperpigmentation and improve dull, uneven skin. In addition to exfoliating, glycolic acid also promotes collagen production. Collagen is a protein in the dermis layer that provides skin structure. Collagen synthesis decreases with age, so any anti-aging products and treatments aim to increase collagen production.

Is Salicylic Acid Anti-Aging?

Yes, salicylic acid has anti-aging effects on the skin. It is a type of beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) commonly found in acne-fighting skincare products. BHAs are oil-soluble ingredients that penetrate deeply into the pores for a thorough cleanse. Including salicylic acid, BHAs are a form of chemical exfoliant that removes dead skin cells, sebum buildup, and dirt from the surface, revealing healthy, glowing skin. By stimulating skin cell turnover, they soften the appearance of fine lines and make the overall complexion look brighter.

Which vitamin is anti-aging?

Selenium, vitamin C, and vitamin E are antioxidants that offer health benefits, especially in fighting photoaging. Selenium is a mineral that supports a firm skin texture and helps prevent photoaging, including wrinkles and pigmentation, by protecting against free radical damage. Vitamin C also neutralizes free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and slowing premature skin aging. Vitamin E is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties that shield the skin from damage caused by the sun, pollution, and smoking. Free radicals break down collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to visible signs of aging. Antioxidants like vitamin E help counteract free radicals to prevent damage to collagen and elastin. Vitamin E can also reduce hyperpigmentation caused by hormonal changes or sun exposure. Some studies have shown improvements in hyperpigmentation with topical vitamin E, especially when combined with vitamin C. Additionally, vitamin E promotes blood circulation, which enhances the skin’s structure and firmness.

What is the best anti-aging eye treatment?

The best anti-aging eye treatment for each patient depends on the eye area’s anatomy and the specific factors contributing to an aging look. Some patients have dark circles caused by tear troughs and increased pigment under the eyes. Dr. Green will work with you to create an anti-aging treatment plan that targets the particular factors that make the eye area look aged.

Microneedling, also called “collagen induction therapy,” is a skin rejuvenation treatment aimed at improving issues like dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness under the eyes. It uses a device called a micropen, which features tiny, surgical-grade needles at its tip. These needles create microscopic wounds on the surface of the skin (the epidermis). As the skin heals naturally, these micro-injuries are repaired with new, healthier skin cells, and the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated. This process helps to make the skin look more plump and firm, reduces signs of aging, and lessens the appearance of dark circles. To treat the delicate and sensitive skin around the eyes, Dr. Green performs the procedure at a shallower depth than what is usually used for the rest of the face.

Often, the main cause of dark undereye circles is a natural loss of collagen that happens in the face with aging. As we get older, our skin can lose fullness or sag, leading to thin or translucent skin under the lower eyelid. Some people also naturally have a more hollow look under the eyes, which can cast shadows and create the appearance of dark circles. Dermal fillers are made to restore collagen production and volume in this area. They can be injected into the tear trough (under the eyes) to replace lost volume and help reduce the dark pigmentation.

A Mesopeel is a chemical peel designed to rejuvenate the skin under the eyes with minimal downtime. It removes discoloration by sloughing off dead skin cells from the top layer of the dermis, revealing healthy skin underneath. The Mesopeel Periocular is a popular in-office treatment for under-eye circles and wrinkles. The peel contains azelaic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, phytic acid, resorcinol, and salicylic acid, which work together to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration. It is a non-invasive chemical peel with no downtime, providing excellent, all-over eye rejuvenation, and it is safe for all skin tones.

Do anti-aging eye creams work?

Anti-aging eye creams hydrate the delicate skin around the eyes, where the skin is thinner and more prone to fine lines and wrinkles. These lines and deeper creases form due to collagen loss with age, sun damage, smoking, or repetitive muscle movements like squinting, smiling, or frowning. By adding moisture, the skin becomes plumper, making lines and wrinkles less noticeable.

Eye creams generally contain ingredients similar to facial Eye creams generally contain ingredients similar to facial moisturizers. They tend to have a thicker consistency and include gentle active ingredients designed for the delicate skin around the eyes. Key ingredients in anti-aging eye creams are similar to those in anti-aging facial creams. Retinol encourages skin cell turnover and boosts collagen production to reduce wrinkles and skin laxity, helping to maintain healthy skin. Products with retinol should only be used at night, and sunscreen should be applied during the day, as retinol increases skin photosensitivity. Vitamin C is another anti-aging ingredient that protects the skin from free radical damage and promotes collagen production. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the body, is a hydrating ingredient that plumps the skin by drawing water from the environment and locking it into the upper layers of the skin.

What is the best anti-aging lip treatment?

As we age, collagen in the lips and around the mouth decreases, leading to thinning and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles that give an aged appearance. Using various hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, volume can be restored to the lips, and fine lines around the mouth can be softened. Hyaluronic acid fillers are a special type of filler containing a substance naturally found in the body, hyaluronic acid, which promotes collagen production near the injection site. This process can create smooth, natural-looking volume in the lips. Patients usually see immediate results after their procedure, and these improvements continue over several days. They can enjoy a plump, luscious pout for six months to a full year as their body gradually metabolizes the hyaluronic acid. Additionally, hyaluronic acid injections are completely dissolvable thanks to the naturally occurring enzyme hyaluronidase. Safe, simple, and reversible? It truly is a dream cosmetic procedure.

Our patients have enjoyed natural-looking, revitalized lips thanks to the expert skill of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michele Green. Dr. Green specializes in cosmetic injectable treatments and has extensive experience with hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for lip augmentation, dating back to the first introduction of these products. Her precise techniques and natural approach to cosmetic injections have made her one of the most sought-after dermatologists in both New York and internationally.

Is exercise anti-aging?

Yes! Regular exercise offers numerous health benefits that can help slow down the Yes! Regular exercise provides many health benefits that can slow the signs of aging. While you can’t change your chronological age, staying active is one of the best ways to protect your metabolism from some effects of aging by reducing body fat and lowering blood sugar levels. Exercise improves blood circulation and stimulates collagen production. Blood delivers essential nutrients and oxygen to organs, and physical activity enhances blood flow to the skin, supporting skin health. Collagen, the most abundant protein in the skin, gives it structure and helps maintain firmness, smoothness, and elasticity. By boosting collagen production, exercise can promote a youthful and lasting appearance. It can also improve sleep and reduce stress. Managing stress and getting enough rest are essential for maintaining our body, mind, and skin health, and they contribute to a more radiant, youthful look.

When will anti-aging medicine be available?

As funding for anti-aging research increases, a medication may be developed in the future after several tests; however, this does not guarantee it will be immediately available. Currently, some studies suggest that Metformin, a medication prescribed to treat Type II diabetes, may reduce certain signs of aging through various mechanisms. Although research is still ongoing, this could partly be because metformin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may offer anti-aging benefits. Additionally, Metformin has been linked to the development of new collagen, a crucial protein in the skin that provides structural support and helps maintain a smooth, firm texture. Overall, it is generally not recommended to take Metformin unless it is medically necessary. Always consult your primary healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

What is the newest anti-aging treatment?

There isn’t a single “newest” There isn’t a single “newest” anti-aging treatment.

Which anti-aging treatments work for jowls?

A common sign of aging is the loss of skin elasticity, which can cause excess skin to collect along the chin, jawline, and neck. Luckily, dermatology now offers a variety of non-invasive cosmetic procedures, including laser treatments, skin tightening techniques, injectables, and microneedling, all of which can enhance the appearance of jowls without needing invasive surgeries performed by a plastic surgeon. One of the most effective treatments for jowls is the Thermage FLX laser, a skin-tightening cosmetic procedure that helps firm and tighten the skin, offering skin rejuvenation without the need for a facelift. This laser employs radiofrequency (RF) technology to heat the skin’s dermal layer, stimulating collagen production and reducing skin laxity. This treatment is painless and does not require any incisions, downtime, or extended recovery periods.

What is the best age to start anti-aging treatment?

Most people start using Most people begin using anti-aging treatments, including skincare products and cosmetic procedures, in their 30s. While many in their 30s may not yet notice signs of aging on their skin, starting anti-aging treatments early can help prevent them from appearing prematurely. Besides using anti-aging skincare products like retinoids, many younger men and women also opt for cosmetic options such as preventative Botox injections and Thermage radiofrequency. Additionally, once we reach 30, collagen levels in the skin start to decline. Collagen is a protein that gives the skin a firm base and structural support, contributing to a smooth, firm texture and a more youthful appearance. Many anti-aging treatments aim to boost elastin and collagen production to help maintain a natural-looking, long-lasting, youthful look.

Anti-aging treatments celebrities use

Not all celebrities depend on a single Not all celebrities rely on just one anti-aging treatment; however, they must stick to a consistent skincare routine since they are constantly in front of cameras. Generally, Botox is very popular among the public, including celebrities. Many people may also choose a facelift or eyelid surgery to address skin laxity. With many treatments available, it’s safe to say that celebrities often opt for facials like the HydraFacial to clear pores and exfoliate. They may also undergo chemical peels to improve skin tone and texture. Many celebrities opt for laser treatments, such as Fraxel and Clear + Brilliant, to boost collagen production and maintain their skin’s appearance. Ultimately, celebrities follow comprehensive routines that include both topical and cosmetic procedures, from minimally invasive treatments to surgeries.

How to prevent aging skin in your 20s

It might seem like it’s too early to focus on anti-aging skincare in our 20s, but that’s not true at all! The skincare routines we establish now lay the groundwork for our skin’s health later, and it’s never too soon to start caring for it properly.

Establishing a well-planned skincare routine is an excellent way to start preventing skin aging in your 20s. You might also consider non-invasive cosmetic treatments to help avoid signs of aging before they develop. Several preventative skincare tips can help slow down the aging process and keep us looking younger longer. The most important rule is always to wear sunscreen! Sun damage can cause skin to look prematurely aged and is easily preventable by properly protecting your skin from the sun.

The HydraFacial is a medical-grade hydra-dermabrasion device featuring a three-part regimen designed to detoxify the skin, provide skin resurfacing, exfoliate dead skin cells, and deeply hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. It is an all-around rejuvenation treatment that targets multiple specific skin concerns and is suitable for all skin types. For those seeking visible skin refinement and rejuvenation, HydraFacial may be the solution to achieve healthier and brighter skin. By cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing, you will notice an immediate improvement with no downtime. One of its greatest benefits is that it can be customized to address particular skin issues by adding boosters.

Preventative Botox! The idea behind preventative Botox is that, by receiving the treatment before any forehead wrinkles or frown lines become permanent, their development can actually be stopped altogether. Preventive Botox has gained significant attention recently thanks to social media. Influencers on various platforms greatly influence trends in beauty, skincare, and wellness, and now, more than ever, they are sharing their experiences with cosmetic procedures. This new trend of embracing preventative skincare as part of self-care encourages more people to include preventative Botox in their anti-aging routines for facial wrinkles and folds. An increasing number of young men and women are seeking preventative Botox because of impressive results, almost no downtime, and the simplicity of the procedure.

How to prevent aging skin in your 30s

Once we turn 30, collagen production slows down. Collagen is the protein in the skin that provides structural support, helping to create a firm, supple, and youthful appearance. Choosing cosmetic procedures that promote collagen production in the skin during our 30s is a smart anti-aging strategy and can help us naturally look (and feel) younger for longer.

Chemical peels can address various cosmetic concerns, such as skin discoloration, dullness, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone or texture. A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that involves applying a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of dead skin. Through chemical exfoliation, chemical peels stimulate cell turnover, correct skin discoloration, unclog pores, and give the skin a vibrant glow. They remove the outermost skin layers, and depending on the type and strength of the peel, the depth and effects can be controlled. This controlled injury promotes peeling and improves skin texture, helping to treat acne, acne scars, sun damage, lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels are an excellent way to keep skin looking fresh and rejuvenated, especially in our 30s.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a simple, painless method to lessen many signs of aging, such as sun damage, sun spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, fine lines, and wrinkles. It can even temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite. As microneedling reduces pore size and enhances skin tone and texture, it can treat acne marks and scarring with almost no downtime. Dr. Green often combines platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with collagen induction therapy to boost collagen production. PRP utilizes the patient’s own growth factors, which are derived from their plasma. Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, and applying PRP and other anti-aging serums helps amplify the treatment’s effects. Since collagen production starts to decline in our 30s, collagen induction therapy is a valuable addition to anti-aging routines during this decade.

The best and most effective anti-aging treatment

There are various cosmetic treatments available for anti-aging, and their effectiveness depends on your specific skin type and aesthetic goals. For example, ideal candidates for Fraxel are those with type I to II skin tones and lighter complexions. Therefore, individuals with darker skin tones should consider alternative treatments, such as chemical peels, rather than the Fraxel. Additionally, someone with fine lines may see significant results after Fraxel laser treatments. In contrast, others with deeper wrinkles may need dermal fillers, such as Restylane or Juvederm, to restore lost volume, and neuromodulators, like Botox, to prevent repeated muscle movement that causes dynamic wrinkles. Individuals experiencing sun damage, sun spots, and age spots may require Fraxel or AlexTrivantage lasers, or a combination of both, to reveal a healthy and even complexion. To maintain healthy skin and effectively treat signs of aging, it is highly recommended to consult with an experienced dermatologist like Dr. Green to develop the most effective anti-aging treatment plan.

What is the difference between anti-wrinkle and anti-aging treatments?

Anti-wrinkle treatments include skincare products and cosmetic procedures designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for smoother skin. These treatments are a type of anti-aging therapy. Anti-aging treatments encompass any skincare products and procedures designed to enhance skin texture, tone, elasticity, and overall complexion, yielding a more rejuvenated appearance. They may help achieve firmer, tighter, and smoother skin. Additionally, they can target sun damage, hyperpigmentation, loose skin, age spots, and other signs of aging unrelated to fine lines and wrinkles.
