To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on the top antiwrinkle treatments. Consideration must be given to:
• eCO2
Lutronic
"For antiwrinkle treatments, nothing beats a resurfacing procedure. At this time I believe that fractional CO2 laser resurfacing gives the best results with the least risk. You give up some efficacy compared to fully ablative CO2 laser resurfacing, but there is a markedly lower incidence of significant adverse events with the CO2 laser. We have been using the Lutronic eCO2 laser for the last few years and have been very happy with it."—Mark G. Rubin, MD, Beverly Hills, California
• Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Sensitive Skin Creme
Beiersdorf, Inc
Recommended by Deborah S. Sarnoff, MD, New York, New York
• Kinerase Pro+ Therapy Tretinoin Gel 0.05%
Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC
"Kinerase tretinoin has superior tolerability to generic tretinoin. The vehicle is elegant, and our patients complain less about peeling and irritation."—Amy J. Derick, MD, Barrington, Illinois
• Lifeline Skin Care
International Stem Cell Corporation
"Lifeline Skin Care is the first antiaging product derived from nonembryonic human stem cells. The serums lead to increased hydration and stimulate collagen to improve the appearance of wrinkles. I have noticed a definite improvement in my skin."—Elizabeth K. Hale, MD, New York, New York
