One of the most exciting new trends in Dr. Airan’s field is platelet-rich plasma, a technique in which a doctor draws the patients blood, spins it, concentrates the platelets in the plasma, then re-injects the concentrated plasma underneath the skin. “This is proving to be an excellent technique for helping the texture of the skin,” Dr. Airan said. “Especially for the fine lines around the mouth and the eyelids – those are two excellent places to put this.”
Oral supplements can also help boost hydration for those on the go, and exercise, of course, does wonders for the body and skin.
“The harder the exercise, the better,” Dr. Airan said.

I am excited to share my ideas about anti-aging with all of you!
Wondering what you can do to look younger or slow down the aging process without plastic surgery? Dr. Phil invites Dr. Tom Diaz, a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Physicians, to the show to offer some proven anti-aging advice.
Tips on Preventing Wrinkles and Promoting Longevity
Avoid the sun.
Sun exposure is the number one cause of premature wrinkles. If you must be out in the sun, wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30. Tanning beds have also been proven to cause cancer and wrinkle your skin.
Don't smoke.
Smoking is the second leading cause of premature wrinkles. It upsets the body's mechanism for breaking down old skin and renewing it.
Minimize alcohol consumption.
Alcohol dehydrates the skin, depleting it of moisture. It can also cause broken or distended capillaries on the nose and face.
Exercise.
Exercise is the number one anti-aging medicine, and the benefits are immense. For starters, it is a great anti-stressor. It also improves circulation, which in turn improves skin complexion. It can help maintain healthy body weight, increase bone density, and build muscle. Exercise also strengthens the heart, and can reduce risk of certain cancers. We lose 4 percent of muscle mass for every 10 years after the age of 20. Running is good for the heart and weight training increases metabolism and bone strength. Stretching and yoga are also extremely beneficial.
Get plenty of rest.
The body needs time to repair itself. Lack of sleep can upset the body's metabolism and possibly hasten the onset of age-related conditions.
Drink at least eight glasses (64 ounces total) of water daily.
Water flushes waste out of our system and keeps the skin hydrated, acting as an internal moisturizer.
Tips on Reducing the Appearance of Wrinkles
Over-the-counter products.
Dr. Diaz recommends Glycolic Acid 15 percent, and Alpha Hydroxy Acid. Use at night and use it regularly. You can also ask your doctor about Retin A, a vitamin-based product that works really well.
Avoid chemical peels and outdated laser machines.
"I've seen the worst scarring in my life on people who have had chemical peels," says Dr. Diaz. There are some new products that can make you look younger. Ask your doctor about intermittent pulse laser and fluorescent pulse laser. "They actually stimulate the collagen and remove the discolorations from your skin, actually reversing the signs of aging skin," Dr. Diaz says. "But they will do nothing to prevent cancer."
