 The nice thing about aging these days is that the very best people are doing it, and, as a group, we are in fine company. What this information means to the business world is that thousands of companies worldwide are selling their figurative souls to discover, manufacture and distribute the ultimate anti-aging breakthroughs—external and internal. But ladies and gentlemen, first things first, and that’s where your face comes in.
Some of the newest weapons in the fight against wrinkles, spots, and sagging are listed below. The options are sure to confuse you, but you can barely go wrong by testing out one and then another. Most of these work to a greater or lesser degree, so while you are waiting for the magic bullet like the rest of us, experimentation is the operative word. - Fractional CO2 skin resurfacing. This is a laser therapy that combines the effectiveness of traditional carbon dioxide lasers with a new delivery system that provides powerful results without the scary side effects. Approximate cost: $5,000.
- Wrinkle injections. In 2003, the FDA approved Restylane, and last year four new fillers hit the marketplace: Perlane, Juvederm, Artifill, and Radiesse. Each one is geared for a particular part of the face, and some are most permanent than others, although not without the risk of side effects. Approximate cost: $600 to $1,000 per syringe.
- Peptides. Small proteins stimulate skin cells for a quicker turnover of collagen, mimicking the process of younger skin.
- Anti-oxidants. Over-the-counter skin care fights free radicals that destroy your collagen supply. A few of the many lines currently available to the public are: Neutrogena, Clinique, Prescriptives, and Lumene. Approximate cost: $17.99 to $48 for a one-ounce supply.
