Dr. Miriam Adebibe is a UK-trained regenerative skin doctor who runs an independent practice specializing in aesthetic and skin health treatments.
Her experience includes working in the NHS and offering clients a skincare approach that considers their diet alongside topical products.
Speaking to The US Sun, she revealed little-known tips for minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.
VITAL VITAMIN
Dr. Adebibe said active skin care is of “extreme importance” for an ageless appearance that does not rely on Botox.

“Stimulate collagen production to improve under-eye skin texture with active vitamin A, vitamin C, and alpha hydroxy acids,” she said.
“Active vitamin A is available with a prescription and is stronger than retinol.
“It is the most effective skin care ingredient for reducing the appearance of sun damage, lines, wrinkles, large pores and brown spots.”
Vitamin A can be found in many creams and moisturizers, as well as supplements.

According to Health LineThere are two forms of vitamin A.
Retinol and retinyl esters are found in animal products such as dairy, fish and liver, but provitamin A carotenoids come from plant foods.
Adebibe added that it’s important to use SPF routinely as prevention is better than cure to reverse UV damage to the skin.
RELIABLE TREATMENTS
Adebibe revealed that there is a range of regenerative treatments that “greatly” improve fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermal fillers and polynucleotides are among the best for combating signs of aging around the eyes.
Polynucleotide treatment is the most exciting addition to under eye treatments lately.

“Dermal filler can be used to replace volume directly under the eyes for those who have developed tear troughs with wrinkled skin,” she said.
“Polynucleotide treatment is the most exciting addition to under-eye treatments lately.
“These DNA fragments instruct your own cells to regenerate and are quickly expelled from your body.
“The skin becomes firmer, smoother and the tissues beneath it are plumper.
“And the best thing is that it’s all you. No dermal fillers in your tissues.
Adebibe said there is also 30 years of “brilliant evidence” supporting the use of microneedling to rejuvenate the skin.
“Small needles are used to cause thousands of micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating the skin to produce elastin and collagen, while improving all of the skin’s functions,” she said.
“It is used to improve the texture of the skin around the eyes, with many other benefits for the rest of the face as well.”
