Do you stand in front of the mirror tugging and pushing at your face trying to pull it back into place? Are sagging jowls, hollow cheeks and furrows between your eyes and around your mouth making you look tired and old? Well, you’re not alone!

As we age we lose important areas of facial fat (collagen) and fibers (elastin) that support the contours of your face. First you notice crow’s feet and smile lines. Then your brow line begins to fall, your jaw line sags and your cheeks, lips and nose areas lose their fullness and your eyes begin to look hollow. You actually deflate and descend as you age!

Joan R. Age 54 Liquid Face Lift (Alexander J. Covey, M.D.)

A Liquid Face Lift instantly replaces the volume and fullness that you lost as you aged. A Liquid Face Lift, also known as RestyLift, VolumaLift and the Instant Injectable Face Lift, is a non-surgical treatment that gently lifts and contours your face helping you look 10 years younger instantly! Using a combination of safe and effective injectables including wrinkle relaxers such as Botox or Dysport and fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm, Perlane and/or Radiesse, I strategically restore the natural curves and contours of your face. One of the greatest benefits to this treatment is that we are not stretching and pulling your skin into place. Instead, a Liquid Face Lift fills in the hollows of your cheeks and under eyes, plumps up your lips,and lifts your sagging jaw line giving you a natural, well-rested, energized and youthful appearance without resorting to surgery.

This morning I had another patient ask me what is the one thing they can do to keep their skin looking younger. My answer is  always the same. . . you MUST use sun block!

We all know many strategies to use to avoid sun damage, but I think it is worth mentioning them again:

• Cover up with clothes– dark colors are best because they absorb sunlight. Polyester garments are usually more protective than cotton or linen, but it depends on the weight and weave (sun light gets through holes!). There are even some clothes marketed as sun-protective using the ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) rating developed in Australia, the country with the highest rate of skin cancer in the world. A UPF of 15 or higher is good.
• Watch the clock – avoid extended exposure between 10am and 3pm
• Don’t trust the clouds or shade – on cloudy days ultraviolet radiation levels are almost the same as in sunshine. And while being in the shade is better off than in the sun, you can still be affected by the sun’s rays.
• Check your altitude – studies at Harvard show that the intensity  or radiation increases by about 4% for every 1,000 feet in altitude

For those of you who can’t resist getting a ‘healthy’ tan there are a few safe alternative self-tanning products that I recommend to
