Is Beauty Worth the Cost of Your Health?

Wrinkle Injections: What are the Options?By Leslie Baumann, M.D.

Wrinkles are caused by loss of vital components in the lower level of the skin called the dermis.
There is no way to topically replace the building blocks of the dermis (collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid). There are, however, quite a few products - known collectively as dermal fillers - that dermatologists can inject into the dermis to temporarily restore your skin's volume and minimize the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and scars.
Are you shocked to learn that the first precursor of today's procedures was performed in 1893, when a doctor first took fat from a patient's arm and injected it into facial defects?
Dermal fillers are becoming more accessible, affordable, and natural-looking every day. Let's consider a few of the most popular fillers on the market (and keep in mind that many doctors use these products in combination to achieve the desired results):Dr. Baumann is author of the best-selling book, " The Skin Type Solution." To learn more about her revolutionary skin typing system, visit her Web site, SkinTypeSolutions.com.

What is the best position to sleep to prevent wrinkles...

Your Back

Sleeping on your back has a variety of positive effects including significant wrinkle reduction, reducing acid reflux and preventing back and neck pain. From a wrinkle standpoint when you sleep on your back you have no unwanted forces pushing on your face. When sleeping on your back the skin & muscles in your face can sit in a neutral relaxed position. This allows for no unwanted creases for long periods of time in the skin. Creases over time will cause wrinkles.

Sleeping on your side can cause wrinkles

When you sleep on your side you can cause your face to be pushed up against one side. If you are a heavy sleeper who doesn’t toss and turn much in their sleep this pushed up skin could sit in that position for hours at a time. Multiply this over years of sleeping and you can see how it could effect the skin on your face in a negative fashion. However, sleeping on your side is good for snoring and also your spine because it is in an elongated position. If you have back problems it could be beneficial.

Sleeping on your stomach is the worst

Sleeping on your stomach has been rated as the worst position to be in. It creates the most stress on your body and can cause the most wrinkles. With such a large portion of the front of your body being pushed up the most amount of wrinkles could be forming.
