Saving face at any age begins with a few basic musts:

1. Clarisonic Pro:: a great tool to cleanse your face in the am & pm
2. Sun Protection Daily:: minimum spf 30 and maximum spf 50
3. Retin-A:: The gold standard for reducing fine lines, stimulating collagen, and treating acne. Apply a pea-size amount all over your face every other night.
4. Antioxidant - Vitamin C or Prevage a derivative of Q10
5. In office skincare - dermaplaning and customized peels provide healthy exfoliation

Wrinkle Prevention in our 20s
In our 20's, time at the beach or under the sun may have already caused freckling, pigmentation and fine lines most obviously around the eyes. Our main focus at this age should be on damage prevention. Skin changes and damage may begin below the skin surface, but do not show yet. The most simple task to care for your skin is washing it. Forgetting to wash your face before bed can lead to clogged pores and break outs. Lack of sleep, too much alcohol and smoking can dull the complexion. Serious sunburn sets the stage for serious problems related to skin cancer in your future.

Botox and Dermal fillers are FDA approved for 18 years and older. If you want Botox to become part of your arsenal then the best time to start is when the lines in your face are minimally visible. Once wrinkles are deep, Botox can help soften them, but it won't eliminate them.

Preventing the double chin in our 30s
In our 30s, etched lines become more exaggerated especially around the eyes, and forehead. Skin becomes thinner and finer, there's some loss of collagen, and skin cell turnover has begun to slow down, making your complexion look a little dull. In my opinion, Retin-A is not optional in your 30s. It is an absolute! Retin-A reduces brown spots, increases exfoliation and collagen production, thickens the epidermis, and can reverse precancerous sun damage.

Peptides and dermal fillers can be added to your arsenal now.

In your 30s sun-damage and uneven color blotches can begin to appear on your skin. This is a good time to begin laser treatments, too. A doctor or registered nurse uses a handheld device that delivers pulses of light to the skin to treat hyperpigmentation and redness caused by broken blood vessels and to improve skin texture and tone. Benefits of our laser system is: collagen production and collagen tightening which lift the skin.

Tired Looking Eyes In Our 40s
In our 40s, lines previously only seen with movement become visible at rest. Especially our laugh lines or crow's feet. Skin around the eye can begin to look creepy or papery and dark circles under the eyes begin to appear. At this point Botox will be your dear old friend and dermal fillers are your new best friend in your 40s. In the hands of an artistic injector you can conservatively remove this signs of aging without changing your look. As we age bone density, collagen and fat loss all contribute to the production of wrinkles, flattening of our cheeks, and a sagging lower face.  Dermal fillers used in the right place in the right amount will erase these signs of aging. A liquid face-lift with dermal fillers will amaze you when you look in the mirror. You will only hear your friends and family say, "You are looking well and rested."

Another option to blast away the fine lines and wrinkles in your 40s is Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing.   Fractional Laser can achieve very significant facial rejuvenation including wrinkle removal, skin tightening and removal of pigment and photo aging skin changes. 

Hollows and Shadows 50s and Beyond
Don't even think of retiring from the skincare game! Hopefully you are an old pro well versed in Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, Dermal Fillers and Photofacials but if you are late to begin the fight just remember it's never to late to save your face.If you haven't started using SculptraAesthetic in your mid 40s then it is your new best friend now in your 50s.  SculptraAesthetic works gradually to replace collagen that is lost during the aging process. 

Expression lines no longer disappear after you stop smiling or squinting; pores are more visible, especially on the nose and cheeks. You're likely to have developed spider veins age spots, and precancerous spots from sun damage. Menopause an cause a multitude of skin problems, including extreme dryness and acne.

By 50, skin cell turnover takes twice as long as it did at age 20. In office skincare every month is of utmost importance during this time. Dermaplaning and customized peels will help minimize your pores, diminish the appearance of dull skin, and allow moisturizer to penetrate better to combat the dryness.

I have had "sensitive/problem prone skin" all my life. Over the years the problems seemed to multiply. I consulted with a number of Dermatologists, Specialists and Skin Care Salons that came highly recommended. Finally, one Doctor told me to live with it. Nothing could be done. Sometime later, I was told about JoLyn and that she was able to achieve outstanding results for her clients. I am a living testament to the fact that JoLyn is outstanding in every way! JoLyn spent time and energy in order to find the source of my "skin problems". Her ability to identify a problem and determine the treatment were critical in order to put an end to my "sensitive/problem prone skin"
