Forehead Wrinkle

That telltale wrinkle on the forehead. We're all in for it sooner or later. Around the time we're 30 or 35, we start to get them. They are part of growing older. Many people, especially women, get them and want them removed as soon as possible. Surgery, botox, creams? How do you lose wrinkles?

The cosmetic industry offers thousands of potential wrinkle remedies. An industry has sprung up in the last decade offering to rid people of their age lines and make them look younger. What sparked this age-defying craze? Perhaps men are to blame, men who reach their 40s or 50s and try to chase young 20-something women. The male mid-life crisis has forced women to look in the mirror and not like what they see. They feel they need to look younger to keep men their own age interested. Surgery, botox and facelifts are now common place. This quick fix, though, may have serious repercussions down the road. Looking better today may cost you in the future.

Quality skin care products and routine facials may help remedy the situation without resorting to costly and potentially damaging plastic surgery. Skin products and facials will not do the damage that botox, surgery and facelifts will. Just look at Joan Rivers if you are thinking about a facelift...

  • Am I Qualified To Have Eye Surgery?

    That's one of the first questions most people ask about refractive surgery. What they really want to know is: Will I be happy with my eyesight after my operation? Unfortunately, there is no simple formula to determine answers to these questions. Although general guidelines help eye doctors decide who might benefit from refractive surgery, each candidate must be carefully reviewed on a case-by-case basis. That is why you go to your eye doctor for individualized care and advice. Every operation must be considered in terms of a benefit-to-risk ratio for that specific patient. With elective surgery, it always pays to be conservative.

    Astigmatic Keratotomy (AK): Astigmatic keratotomy (AK) is similar to RK, but its purpose is to correct only astigmatism. Usually, one or two incisions are made in the peripheral cornea to make it more round (as if loosening the laces on a football). This procedure is often combined with RK and has a similar long track record.

  • How Amazing Technology Is Used To Literally Map Out Your Cornea

    Scientists and doctors have made amazing advances in the past decade in treating common vision problems. A big part of their advances have been made through a procedure called "corneal topography." Corneal topography is a computer-generated printout that shows your eye doctor the curvature and "hills" and "valleys" of the cornea. When your eye doctor studies one of these brightly colored maps, he can diagnose corneal shape abnormalities and monitor changes on the surface of your eye. Once the doctor understands the various elevation changes on your eye's surface, he or she can determine whether or not you are a candidate for refractive surgery. If you decide to have LASIK surgery, the doctor can take before and after pictures to show changes in corneal topography as a result of the surgery. The maps will show how the surgery has effected the dioptric (refractive) power of the cornea. Corneal topography will spot any complications from the surgery. If LASIK surgery is intended to cure nearsightedness, the new corneal topography analysis should show a flattening of the cornea.
