Anti Aging Therapy: Botox, Stem Cells and Make-up

Owing to the advances in medicine, the notion of sacrificing health for beauty is one that has gone extinct. The idea that beauty products could endanger the overall wellness of the skin is now long dead and the advent of anti-aging make-up drives another nail into its coffin. Anti-aging therapy has certainly come a long way. What used to be a generalized list of what to do and what not to do has now evolved into a collection of sophisticated techniques backed up by much research. Modern methods that battle aging require understanding the body: which elements need to be controlled, which nutrients need to be replenished, and which supplements are required. These treatments are customized to meet individual needs.

For instance, popular Beverly Hills anti aging treatments are designed to work against unwanted fat, wrinkles and cellulite among many others; the use of Botox to ease out facial lines and wrinkles, energy treatments with Exilis to bring back freshness and elasticity for a younger looking skin, and EPAT or Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Therapy to remedy cellulite.

Another modern technique currently used to defy aging is stem cell therapy. Through the use of stem cell technology, the body is able to sufficiently replenish dying cells. The result is overall wellness going far beyond the aesthetic effects (including enhancement of the complexion, decrease of wrinkles, and skin-lifting) to rejuvenation, renewal of mental capacity, and improvement of the body's posture, among others.

Anti-aging make-up joins this exclusive list of age-battling systems. These high-end cosmetics are formulated by skin experts not to simply mask the signs of aging with creams, colors, and balms, but to work in cooperation with other anti-aging treatments. These modern skin-care products usually incorporate antioxidants, peptides, and vitamins in order to bring out invigorated skin that is properly hydrated, softer, smoother, and blemish free.

Age-defying foundations and concealera incorporate retinol. Retinol is known to boost cell turnover and collagen production – the two processes that help erase lines and wrinkles on the face. Peptides found in anti-aging cosmetics are proteins that also facilitate collagen production, making them essential for skin rejuvenation and for increasing the function of antioxidants.  UV-fighting agents found in soy as well as goji berries are also staple ingredients of modern cosmetics designed to counter the effects of aging. Other components include plant extracts that contain high levels of antioxidants. In a nutshell, anti-aging cosmetics will help the skin preserve its rejuvenated look.
