Can the aging processes be stopped?

Highlights

The biblical Tree of Life, legendary elixirs of youth, numerous myths and many examples from the fine arts prove the thesis that mankind has wanted to preserve youth from its beginnings. We do not abandon these efforts even today. From time to time, with the development of medicine, the question arises whether the aging processes can be stopped. The answer is one – we cannot stop the aging processes, but we can significantly delay them so that we can enjoy good health, fitness and beauty for a long time.

Skin aging processes – characteristics

The first aging process we notice is a change in the condition of our skin – the appearance of wrinkles or a less healthy complexion. The good news, on the other hand, is that we can not only delay the processes of skin aging, but also make our face and body rejuvenated. However, before we learn ways to keep our youthfulness for longer, it is worth understanding the basic mechanisms involved in skin aging.

It would seem that the first wrinkles appear easily, but in fact we have to work a lot. For example, for a permanent wrinkle to form on the forehead, it is necessary to move the eyebrows about 200,000 times. The process of wrinkle formation is influenced by both muscle movements and the body’s internal transformations as a result of aging. Old epidermal cells wear away faster than they are replaced by new ones, with the result that the first layer of skin becomes thinner. This, in turn, leads to the formation of wrinkles more easily. The vitally important aging process takes place in the dermis, and if we want to subtract years from ourselves, it is on minimizing the effects of these processes that we should focus. Elastin fibers in young skin stretch and then shrink, while with age they become brittle and the skin, once stretched, no longer returns to its previous size. Another important protein is lost from the skin, namely collagen, which is also responsible for skin firmness. However, aging processes occur even deeper – in the fatty layer. As we age, the fatty lining loses thickness, for example, in the temple area, while fat deposits form in certain areas, and our face loses its youthful oval.

Anti-aging medicine

Aesthetic medicine is constantly looking for the most effective ways to reverse the aging process. Today there is a full range of treatments available that we can undergo in order to achieve a more youthful appearance. It is extremely important that these treatments not only stop skin aging for a while, but by providing the necessary ingredients – they effectively delay further adverse transformations.

The main key to skin rejuvenation is the stimulation of its regenerative processes from epidermal renewal to the acceleration of fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen and elastin). Facelift today is already done without a scalpel, mainly due to the development of a revolutionary method of skin rejuvenation with radio waves and infrared radiation. We can take advantage of the latest hit of aesthetic medicine, the Zaffiro camera, of which Krystyna Prońko is a fan.

In an interview after her visit to the Face and Body Institute, she says yes:

„Do you have a favorite treatment at Face&Body that you could recommend? Yes, I highly and with great conviction recommend the Zaffiro treatment, which I have already used three times and intend to repeat it twice more, as recommended by the cosmetologist at Face&Body. The effects of this treatment can be seen immediately, and when they are fixed, so to speak, by time, they become truly spectacular. So, all indications are that two more Zaffiro and I will be younger by about 25 years (laughs).The treatment takes about an hour. The price of this treatment doesn’t scare me, I find it affordable, not prohibitive for such a wonderful, as it turns out, therapy for the skin. I also recommend taking advantage of the consultations that are available at this Institute. The specialist’s professional outlook and professional advice worked 100 percent in my case. I also think it is worth noting the products that can be purchased on site, from shampoos, scrubs, color cosmetics and excellent creams to eyelash conditioners. RevitaLash eyelash growth-stimulating conditioner-serum proved to be a hit in my case. I’m just about to purchase another one, because I can see that my lashes have thickened and I’d like them to keep growing! (laughs)”

Also contributing to significant improvements in skin firmness are products such as Regeneris and Restylane Vital/Princessa Rich/Esthelis Mezo Plus.
Regeneris delays the aging process and rejuvenates the face by using platelet-rich plasma obtained from the patient’s blood, which leads to natural skin regeneration by stimulating growth factors. These growth factors are, so to speak, precursors to the formation of all structures in our body – and therefore the skin. Thanks to this accelerated regeneration/healing, our pores narrow, wrinkles become shallower, stretch marks disappear and, most importantly, the skin firms up!
Restylane Vital Princessa Rich/Esthelis Mezo Plus, on the other hand, are hyaluronic acid-based formulations. They immediately hydrate the skin and stimulate the work of fibroblasts, which begin to produce more collagen and elastin, and our skin very quickly begins to look as if it has lost a few years. All preparations are most often administered during mesotherapy, a technique that involves injecting small amounts of the substance with a very thin needle into selected parts of the body. In addition, hyaluronic acid is a wonderful and natural filler and can effectively model the oval of the face, fill in tissue defects. The effect of hyaluronic acid-based preparations is therefore comprehensive.

Great results in regaining a youthful facial oval can be achieved by injecting L-polylactic acid, and this is the base of Sculptra. Sculptra injected under the skin, immediately fills it, but then the water contained in the preparation is absorbed by the body and the process of rebuilding/renewing collagen fibers begins, which provides us with the effect of a rejuvenated face for at least 2 years.

A device called the Dermaroller, of which Angelina Joli herself is said to be a fan, is also used to reduce wrinkles. A small roller full of needles is moved across the face and creates micro-injuries in the skin, thus stimulating its natural renewal processes. The result is a smooth complexion and increased skin volume.

We can also smooth out wrinkles with medical peels: Retices CT, Erulac Peels, TCA. To delay the aging process, it is also worth thinking about skin care and nourishment. For this, we primarily recommend Dr. Elisabeth Dancey’s proprietary treatments, which are the most effective combination of rejuvenating and nourishing techniques for the face and décolleté.

7 tips to keep your skin and body young

Many scientists wonder whether the aging processes can be stopped, but instead of waiting for the results of their experiments, it is better to take action yourself. It’s worth learning some tips that are so simple that anyone can use them, and they bring tangible benefits in preserving youth. There are many tips, and we have chosen for you those created by Dr. Amy Wechsler, a well-known dermatologist from New York, because we think they are the most interesting. They were created with skin care in mind, although they allow us to take care of our entire body from the inside. Here’s the list:

1. Use deep breathing.
   Twice a day, try to breathe deeply for a while to properly oxygenate your body. It’s also a good idea to take a trip out of town every now and then, such as to the woods, so that your body gets a break from the polluted air.
2. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day.
   It doesn’t have to be grueling exercise at all. Instead, the most important thing is regularity. On the way to work or shopping, we can use brisk walking. This will oxygenate the body and, very importantly, relax us and remove stress.
3. Choose a well-balanced diet.
   The basis of your diet must not be fats and sugars. It is good if you introduce more products that contain lean protein, such as fish, eggs, poultry, lean dairy products or nuts. Also, don’t forget about vegetables and fruits, which should be eaten with as little processing as possible. In addition, remember not to try to relieve stress by eating. It’s better to choose walking if you want to delay the aging process.
4. Focus on the good points.
   This principle is difficult for many to apply, and especially in our country, where we like to complain a bit. However, it is worth remembering that negative moods, including stress, largely stem from our head. That’s why you should make a list of things you’re grateful for and add new items there every day, or write down three things that worked for you that day. Imagine how nice it will be when you take stock of the year and all the good things are written down in one place.
5. Make sure you get enough sleep.
   Sleep is called the best cosmetic for preserving youth. And moreover, it costs nothing. It is necessary to sleep enough hours a day to feel sleepy the next day and have energy for action. For some, 6 hours is enough, while others need 8. We ourselves must discover the needs of the body and determine the biological clock.
6. Stop.
   Carve out 10-15 minutes a day to do nothing. Sit or lie down and try to quiet yourself. Get all your plans or to-do lists out of your head. Simply put – take a break. The brain, during such stillness and pause, very often comes up with new solutions to problems or creates revealing ideas. We also need such quieting for the reason that we never forget what the priorities are in life.
7. Don’t forget about intimate needs.
   Cuddle with your partner often and don’t give up on your sex life. During lovemaking, as many as three wonderful hormones are released: endorphins that bring happiness, prolactin, which brings with it relaxation, and soothing oxytocin – the hormones that unite love.

Diet, activity, positive attitude

Aesthetic medicine will certainly help us in the fight to preserve our youth, but we have to take many steps ourselves and, importantly, systematically. The way to delay the aging process is, first of all, a healthy lifestyle, which will include our body and psyche. A balanced diet is one way to stay healthy for longer. We will write about what to eat and what to avoid in one of our next posts.

Equally important is physical activity, which should be chosen according to character as well as ability. It would be good if sports are practiced outdoors, because then we provide the body with oxygen, and besides, we get into a completely different state when, for example, running in the woods versus on a treadmill. Swimming, jogging or even fast walking can be recommended to everyone.

Emotional states and attitudes toward life also have an impact on delaying the aging process. It has been proven long ago and in many studies that optimists live longer and enjoy better health. After all, one of our toughest opponents in the fight for youth is stress. Therefore, every day we should find a moment to relax and approach each day with a positive attitude.
