Though there are different cultural and ethnic norms of beauty, there are certain qualities which seem globally to transcend these differences in determining what is perceptually pleasing.

Esthetically pleasing features include symmetry, smooth convex contours and even, homogeneous skin tone and texture.

These features may become disrupted by natural disease such as acne or by environmental agents such as sun exposure or trauma, or merely by the inevitable and natural process of ageing.

Restoration of facial symmetry and volume, as well as a smooth contour and homogeneous skin tome are the goals of Aesthetic Treatments.

Treating Ageing Skin

New innovations in skin rejuvenation continue to develop, ranging from topically applied "cosmeceuticals" to new surgical techniques. A thorough understanding of how your skin changes as you age and how the sun affects your skin can help you decide with your doctor what treatment is best.

How Can I Maintain Healthy Skin?

The best way to keep skin healthy is to avoid sun exposure beginning early in life. Here are some other tips:

·  Do not sunbathe or visit tanning parlour and try to stay out of the sun.

·  If you are in the sun, always wear protective clothing, such as a hat, long-sleeved shirt, and sunglasses.

·   Put on sunscreen lotion before going out in the sun to help protect your skin from UV light. Remember to reapply the lotion as needed. Always use products that are SPF (sun protection factor) 30 or higher.

·   Relieve dry skin problems by using a humidifier at home, bathing with soap less often (use a moisturising body wash instead), and using a moisturising lotion. If this doesn't work, see your doctor.

What are the Treatment Options for Ageing Skin

In patients with early skin ageing changes, nonsurgical treatment methods such as tretinoin, vitamin C, and alpha hydroxy acids may provide satisfactory improvement. Muscle relaxing injections/Bo-tox, Chemical peels, Dermal Fillers, derm-abrasion and laser abrasion may be used alone or in combination with other surgical procedures to treat moderate to severe degrees of facial photodamage.

Deeper facial lines may be treated with botulinum toxin or soft tissue enhancement, including collagen, autologous fat, and Goretex implants. Patients with more sagging, excess skin will benefit from additional procedures such as facelift, brow-lift, and blepharoplasty (surgical reconstruction of the eyelid). Treatment must be individualised accordingly to the patient's facial characteristics and cosmetic concerns.

Here is a brief detail about some of the more popular treatment options:

Botulinums (Muscle Relaxing Injections): Bo-tox is the brand name of a toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Scientists have discovered a way to use it to human advantage. Small, diluted amounts can be directly injected into specific muscles causing controlled weakening of the muscles. Cosmetic physicians have been using Bo-tox for years to successfully treat wrinkles and facial creases. In April 2002, Bo-tox gained FDA approval for treatment of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows - called glabellar lines. However, Bo-tox is often used for other areas of the face as well.

Fillers: Fillers are injected into the skin to increase volume and flatten wrinkles and folds. For a long time, the most popular filler was collagen,whose effect only lasts a few months. More recently, new filler substances, such as hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Juvederm) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse), have become popular, because their effect can last six to nine months, or even longer

Chemical peels: Chemical peels are effective for removing fine lines and smoothing out the skin. Chemical peels remove the upper surface of the skin to expose newer, clearer skin. After the upper layers of the skin have been removed, a new layer of skin develops. Chemical peels can be used in areas, such as the eyelids and around the mouth, that are not improved by a facelift. Depending on the patient's skin type and degree of sun damage, a superficial, medium or deep chemical peel may be the appropriate treatment.

Dermabrasion: Dermabrasion removes lines and some scarring and can be used to treat moderate to severe photodamage (sun damage). In dermabrasion, the doctor sands away the top layer of skin, thus it has similar side effects and complications as medium to deep chemical peels. However, because of the bleeding associated with dermabrasion and variations in skill and technique, the control of wounding is not as accurate as with current laser-abrasion technology.

Laser Resufacing:In the past few years, the development of high-energy carbon dioxide lasers has enhanced physicians' ability to improve photoaged skin, various types of scars and other dermatologic conditions. The precise depth control and ability to treat large areas in a relatively short amount of time makes these carbon dioxide lasers valuable tools.
