While a whole host of cosmetic procedures can effectively reduce the signs of aging, it is also important for people to protect their skin, an industry expert has said.
US plastic surgeon Dr Paul Parker said that more and more people were coming to him for treatments that reduced the signs of aging.
He added that there are many effective options for people who want to retain a youthful appearance.
"We have many tools available to us for facial rejuvenation," the medical practitioner explained.
"Botox and facial fillers are used as minimally invasive treatments to eliminate fine lines. We can also smooth wrinkles with external procedures such as laser skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion, and chemical peels."
On top of this, Dr Parker stressed the importance of maintaining healthy skin by minimising exposure to the sun’s harmful rays.
"Patients should remember that sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure and re-applied every two hours. You should avoid outdoor activity during the peak hours and wear protective clothing. You should absolutely not use tanning beds," he concluded.
