Key objectives of biogerontology are to understand the biology of aging and to translate scientific insight into interventions that improve late-life health – or anti aging treatment<\/a><\/span>. In this context, when considering the problem of how to effect translational research, it is useful to have a clear, consensus view on what exactly constitutes an anti aging treatment<\/a><\/span>. This essay critically assesses the understanding of this concept common among biogerontologists, and proposes a new definition. A current conception of anti aging treatment imagines a primary cause of aging that is causally upstream of, and the cause of, all age-related pathology. Intervening in this aging process thus protects against the totality of age-related diseases<\/a><\/span>. However, this underlying aging process remains an abstraction. By contrast, what is demonstrable is that interventions in model organisms can improve late-life health and extend lifespan. Furthermore, a safe deduction is that treatments that extend lifespan do so by reducing age-related pathology, both florid and subtle. What is currently identifiable about aging (i.e. senescence) is that it is a very complex disease syndrome, likely involving a number of biological mechanisms. Treatments that substantially extend lifespan must suppress multiple pathologies that otherwise limit lifespan, but whether they suppress the entire aging process remains undemonstrated. A more pragmatic and realistic definition of anti aging treatment is any preventative approach to reduce late-life pathology, based on the understanding that senescence is a disease syndrome. This definition would encompass preventative approaches aimed at both broad and narrow spectra of age-related pathologies. Its adoption would facilitate translation, since it would shift the emphasis to medical practice, particularly the introduction of preventative approaches. Narrow spectrum anti aging treatments (e.g. the cardiovascular polypill) could establish a practice that eventually extends to broader spectrum anti aging treatments (e.g. dietary restriction mimetics).[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”860″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n An anti aging facial will have all the steps of a basic facial, but with ingredients that are targeted to aging or “mature” skin, which is usually age 40 and up. But you can have anti-aging facials even when you’re in your late twenties or early thirties because the skin is already showing signs of maturity.<\/p>\n As we age, our skin gets thinner and dryer. It loses collagen, which gives it a thick, plump appearance, and elastin, which makes it snap back quickly. [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”862″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n An anti-aging facial is likely to be more expensive than the basic facial because the ingredients are more expensive. It can range anywhere from $85 to much higher, depending on where you get it, how long it lasts, and how expensive the line is. Prices will be lower at a day spa in a smaller city. Prices will be higher at destination spas, resort and hotel spas, and medical spas. Anti-aging facials can be very effective, but it depends on the skill and experience of the esthetician, the quality of the products, and whether you carry through with a good home skin care regimen. Anti-aging facials and skin care products can also be more effective with in conjunction with treatments like LED light, which boosts collagen. <\/p> What To Expect From An Anti Aging Facial?<\/h2>\n
Why do we need an anti-aging facial?<\/h2>\n
\nThe time it takes for healthy young cells to migrate to the topmost layer slow down, which makes skin duller looking. And our faces are more exposed to the elements and get lines and creases from all the facial expressions we make.
\nAn anti-aging facial might include a chemical peel<\/a><\/span>, collagen masks, and special serums that have antioxidants like vitamin C or ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which attracts water to cells) exfoliates and nourishes the skin to promote clear, well-hydrated skin. It is sometimes called a “deep-cleansing facial” or “deep-pore cleansing” facial because of extractions. There are other powerful anti aging treatment you can get, including photo facials and microdermabrasion.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”861″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nThe Basic Steps of an Anti Aging Facial<\/h2>\n
\n
Advice on home skin care.<\/h2>\n
\nHow often should you get an anti-aging facial? Ideally, get a facial monthly to stimulate your skin’s cellular turnover and assist with exfoliation. If your budget doesn’t allow for that, have a facial at least four times a year, as the season changes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”819″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nHow Effective Are Anti-Aging Facials?<\/h2>\n
\nBe careful about over-doing it and find someone whose advice and skill you trust. Some anti-aging products are too much for sensitive skin. And you don’t want to get a serious anti-aging facial at a resort spa and then go sit out in the sun.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][vc_column_text]<\/ul><\/div>\n
