Dr Burke gives tips on preventing sun damage and describes additional methods of avoiding wrinkle formation. She also explains how small wrinkles can be reversed with exfoliation, topical tretinoin (Retin-A), or topical alpha hydroxy acids and large wrinkles can be filled in with soft-tissue implants. As the colored illustrations show, results of treatment are often dramatic.
