Humans' demand to look attractive is increasing ever and it is quite usual for individuals to refer to a cosmetic surgery unit for the esthetic removal of nevi and various other benign lesions, including seborrheic keratosis, lentigo simplex, sebaceous hyperplasia, and syringoma. 1,2 There are numerous ways of treating benign lesions; nevertheless, electrosurgery, laser removal, liquid nitrogen, and surgical excision are the main techniques that have been used for this purpose. 2,3 Although choosing the appropriate treatment method is relatively easy and acceptable for papular or protuberant lesions, for small macular lesions that will be removed for cosmetic purposes it may not be so, because they are generally percepted as mild lesions by the patient and she/he usually has the anxiety of final disfigurement which may result esthetically worse than the original one.The main hurdles of cryotherapy and electrosurgery are hypopigmentation and scar depression due to excessive lateral cryodamage and lateral thermal damage, respectively. 2 Unesthetic surgical scar
Genetic inheritance, geographical location of a person's settlement, daily physical activities, and availability of rich polyphenolic food sources contribute, to some extent, to the overall outcome of aging. Since there is a basic relationship among oxidation, inflammation, and aging, the administration of adequate amounts of antioxidants in the diet may improve the immune function, decreasing the oxidative stress, and may subsequently extend the longevity of a person. Antioxidant rich nutrition together with moderate aerobic exercise may repair the damage induced by oxidative stress of aging. In this chapter, we conclude that antioxidants strongly contribute to antiaging by preventing oxidative stress at the cellular level and downregulating the expression of genes related to inflammatory pathways. The best way of utilizing antioxidants is regular consumption of a plant-based diet. In addition, adopting a Mediterranean diet will be a plus. Coffee, tea, olive oil, berries, and other fruits all seem to afford the antiaging process not only for a younger skin, but also for better cognitive abilities. Daily hydrolysed-collagen intake should also be considered for healthier joints and a smoother skin.
