Fountain of Youth - It May Be Closer Than You Think

The Best Non-Surgical Procedures to Look Younger

The “fountain of youth” has been pursued since the beginning of time whether through a magical water source, “age-reversing” products, or yoga. When a person hits a certain chronological number, they become very aware of the effects of aging, whether that number is 20, 30, 40, 50, or 60. No one is immune to Father Time. So, is there such a thing as reversing the aging process? There hasn’t been, in reality, until now.

In an article called “Molecular Fountain of Youth” by Nic Halverson on Discovery.com, Halverson reports on an important study by a group of biologists lead by UC Berkeley assistant professor of nutritional science and toxicology Danica Chen. The study focused on one protein called SIRT3, in a class of proteins called surtuins which regulate aging. The biologists found that the protein is very critical in helping aged stem cells combat oxidative stress–which increases the aging process.

In fact, not only does the SIRT3 protein help combat aging it actually reduces the aging process–it reverses the damage. Chen believes this information is going to help science do more than just elongate life. “It’s not so much about expanding lifespan. More so, I think the most important goal is to prevent and ultimately treat age-related diseases,” she said. “The idea is that if we can prevent aging, we can prevent all the diseases that are associated with aging. That’s really the major goal.”

The Best Non-Surgical Cosmetic Procedures to Date

In the meantime, until science can actually introduce this protein into reality, there are skin-related facial rejuvenation treatments to help with the aging process. Let’s take a look at some of our best options.

IPL Photofacial

With the use of intense pulse light (IPL), photofacials can treat many signs of aging, including sun spots, broken blood vessels, and fine lines. It uses light energy to target pigmented cells and stimulate collagen production for younger, brighter skin without downtime.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels can both exfoliate away dead skin cells and rejuvenate collagen production. Using specialized blends of active ingredients, a chemical peel can drastically improve skin texture and skin tone for a more youthful appearance. They can be personalized to touch the deeper layers, too, if your concerns extend beyond the skin’s surface.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Lasers can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and stretch marks. Light energy from the microbeams targets the skin and boosts cellular regeneration, making it one of the most effective anti-aging strategies on the market.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a great option for aging skin. This quick cosmetic procedure can restore volume and fill in skin elasticity, reducing loose skin and deeper wrinkles. They can also replace lost volume as a result of aging. This minimally invasive procedure can rejuvenate your overall appearance and reverse the natural aging process with a quick injection.

Non-Surgical Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency (RF) energy contracts and stimulates collagen to create a firmer appearance to aging, sagging skin. At the same time, controlled radio waves generates heat in the skin’s dermal layer. This comes with a host of benefits, such as younger, more elastic skin.
