Book Description

January 14, 1997
Gerald Imber, M.D., a successful plastic surgeon for twenty years, has long been sought after to reveal his secrets for keeping his clients so beautiful and young-looking. Now, for the first time, Dr. Imber shows women how to keep the signs of aging at bay with a prescriptive, commonsensical plan of skin care, exercise, vitamins, and diet, stalling and often eliminating the need for surgery. By following the earliest and most basic treatment for skin care and maintenance, you can maintain a youthful appearance for a lifetime. You can return your skin to the exuberance of the "youth corridor" - the years between thirty and fifty-five during which the most drastic physical changes occur and can be best managed and controlled. Dr. Imber's easy-to-follow regimes and more than twenty-five helpful illustrations make timeless beauty a reality. The Youth Corridor is also the first book to identify specific trouble spots and provide daily regimens for women according to their respective ages. At the same time, the book catalogs the latest beauty products that give women the best results - including Alpha Hydroxy Acid creams, Retin-A, collagen, and peels - and it also describes the newest and most successful procedures in plastic surgery, most of which are surprisingly affordable.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The fountain of youth isn't a mythical oasis bubbling in a Himalayan cave; it's a practical guidebook for keeping age away from your face. "Wrinkles are forever," says Gerald Imber, so "the objective is prevention." Don't smoke, don't sunbathe, don't gain and lose quantities of weight, and, best of all, don't run (it's hell on the elastic skin fibers). Imber critiques the multitude of skin lotions on the market and describes maintenance routines for every age bracket. They make sense. They are not complicated. And they don't require a pilgrimage to Tibet.

From Booklist

Dr. Imber, a plastic surgeon, calls the interval between the ages 30 to 55 the "youth corridor," when most changes brought on by aging occur and can be controlled. His book is a commonsense guide to skin care, diet, vitamins, and exercise as alternatives to drastic surgery. Not confusing aging with beauty (an entirely separate phenomenon), Imber advocates prevention, increments of practical procedures, and earlier surgery for younger patients. The book promotes a combination of self-help and professional intervention and is definitely not some "New Age paean to positive thinking." Everyone has 20 square feet of skin that is thinner than most fabrics. If we avoid the evils of smoking, yo-yo weight gains, facial exercises, and running while substituting good nutrition, antioxidants, alpha hydroxy acid creams, and proper skin care regimens, we might be able to forestall collagen injections, skin peels, dermabrasion, and laser wrinkle-removing for a few years. This is a book for readers who yearn to remain forever unchanged by the reality of aging. Patricia Hassler
