Skin care and the topical treatment of aging skin.
The desire to maintain or regain a youthful appearance is the main motivation of patients who present themselves to the aesthetic plastic surgeon's office. It has become imperative for the plastic surgeon to know and understand the causes of aging and skin damage and to provide ancillary nonsurgical treatments through which their patients can achieve rejuvenation.
