You're Genetically Predisposed to Wrinkles I asked New York City plastic surgeon and founder of the Youth Corridor Clinic Gerald Imber, MD, if he'd administer a neurotoxin to a young woman with absolutely no wrinkles, and he suggested thinking about genetics. "Often, I take family history into account," he says. "If one's mother and grandmother have no wrinkles, I take a wait and see attitude. Otherwise, small amounts twice a year are a good idea."
Los Angeles dermatologist and founder of SKINxFIVE Ava Shamban, MD, explains how the aging process is different for everyone: "Some people who are 30 look 20, and others who are 30 look 40," she says. "This decade difference in physiological age versus chronological age holds true across the board." And if you're starting to look older than your years due to genetics -- even if you're only 25 -- injections can change the way you age.
