It's not what most of us want to hear: "You look tired!" Maybe it's just sympathy — but if you hear it a lot, even when you're NOT tired, you may be at your wit's end trying to figure out what to do about it.
In my cosmetic dermatology practice, I hear this complaint most often from clients who have lines around their eyes, grooves between their eyes above the bridge of the nose, or drooping upper eyelids. "Squint lines" and "frown lines" can also make people look angry when they really aren't!
These problems may be just the bad luck of heredity. One client came to me in distress about the three deep grooves between her eyes that she gets from squinting. She said she gets these from her father's side — "My dad's and aunt's grooves are so big they can hold a dime in the slots!" she told me.
For some people, the wrinkles, lines and sagging may result from the drying and damage that sun exposure does to our skin. And aging, bringing the loss of the collagen and elastin that support the delicate skin of the face, leaves it vulnerable to gravity. But whatever the cause, there are non-invasive cosmetic dermatology procedures available that can reverse these effects.
