Abstract

The skin takes center stage in the fight against aging. While the number of cosmetic surgery procedures continues to increase, the vast majority of this increase consists of minimally invasive procedures. Furthermore, patients are beginning to understand the importance of addressing the skin as part of their total facial rejuvenation plan. Surgical procedures only tighten or lift the skin, thus failing to address any photodamage or other flaws that may be present. To optimize surgical outcomes or to improve upon nonsurgical options, the skin must be addressed as an important component of the treatment plan.
