Anti Aging

The benefits of Botox injections are obvious to most of us. Reduced wrinkles, and crow’s feet. The disappearance of frown lines, and other markings around the neck. But at what cost are we putting ourselves through this? Is this the only way to reduce some of our aging appearances?

While unknown to some there are risks associated with receiving Botox Injections. Botox is closely related to botulism, and some of the side effects can be quite dangerous. Side effects as simple as bruising or nausea can occur but more serious events such as Dysphasiaa verbal impairment or Ptosisan abnormal paralysis in various muscles near and around the injection site can occur.

The other downside while not dangerous from a medical standpoint but more a financial one is that Botox injections do not last a long time. More over the positive effects of the injection will begin to wear off after a three or so months. Meaning you may find yourself receiving Botox three or four times a year. Is this a painful procedure you actually want to go through that often?

The good news is there are alternatives, and guess what they don’t involve needles or injections. Cosmetic and skin care product manufacturers are progressing leaps and bounds in research and development of new products. They’re learning to deliver collagen and other nutrients directly into the skin. These procedures are yielding benefits similar and equal to botox over time.

The advantages of considering a product over a Botox injection are of course the obvious one, you don’t need to get the injection any longer, but also the cost and medical risks associate with injections. Purchasing a skin care product once every three too six months isn’t as expensive as booking an appointment with your local cosmetic surgeon to receive botox. Nor are there the same medical risks associated with cosmetic products as there is with the injections.

With this information it’s obvious that Botox is not the only alternative to reducing wrinkles and other marks of aging. The social and financial costs associated with Botox can be traded in for safer cosmetic product solutions to anti aging. Of course if you have any questions or concerns about a particular product or procedure be sure to consult your family doctor, but you can rest assured that the pain savings alone using a skin care product rather then receiving an injection will be well worth the switch.

Mesotherapy involves the use of medication compounds injected right into localized areas of the skin for fast absorbsion into the dermis layer. This fairly new procedure has rapidly become the latest trend for eliminating localized fat deposits and cellulite. Some new studies suggest it may also have some anti-aging benefits. Mesotherapy claims to work by delivering tiny amounts of all natural extracts of vitamins and other pharmaceutical agents directly into the dermis, which then starts to melt away the fat deposits trapped inside the dermis layer which form part of the cellulite problem. It also claims to improve circulation, repair weakened connective skin tissue and improve lymphatic drainage.

After an injection of the mesotharapy medication, practictioners claim your body will begin the process of stimulation and start to heal itself. Mesotherapy is usually practiced to target localized areas on the body for cellulite treatment, however it can also be used over the entire body for overall fat reduction. Mesotherapy is virtually painless with little or no side effects other than possible bruising or swelling which will usually last about a week and clear up. Comprehensive scientific studies on the effectiveness of Mesotherapy at reducing fat and cellulite is limited in the established medical community. Mesotherapy has been practiced in European cities for well over a decade with generally positive overall annecdotal results and has also reported a good safety track record.

Mesotherapy Cellulite Treatment is a well practiced cellulite reduction procedure that can help thousands of people every day in the treatment of cellulite and has been accepted as a standard procedure in most European anti aging skin care clinics for the last decade. This hot new way of treating cellulite may cost less than other more invasive cosmetic cellulite treatments, and overall is generally considered to be quite safe if performed by skilled practictioners that provide the highest grade of injectible ingredients. The cost for Mesotherapy will depend on the location or area of where you live and doctor’s fees for this treatment will vary. Most patients start to see actually improvement with as little as a couple of treatments. As with any treatment you should consult your health practictioners and not be afraid of seeking second opinions.

In my late teens, I met a lady called Emily who was 50 years old. She was the mother of my sisters boyfriend, at the time. She looked good for her age, a refined 50 year old.. exactly how I would like to look when I am that age. One day when I was at her house, Emily’s sister was there. Her sister looked very similar to Emily, but about 10 years older, so I had her pegged as Emily’s elder sister.

But what I discovered next was set to change my thinking forever:

She was an IDENTICAL TWIN!!!

I was totally shocked! Literally she looked 60 while Emily looked about 45. The difference? Smoking. The older looking twin smoked, the other did not.

At that age it did wake me up to the fact that daily habits such as smoking cannot be seen in the short term, but over a lifetime clearly add up to aged skin, lines and general bad health - and looking older then your years.

BUT the more interesting thing I learnt had nothing to do with smoking!

It always made me wonder, being a scientist myself, how smoking, UV rays from the sun, pollution, stress and excessive exercise can all lead to similar ailments, including of course premature aging. Particularly UV rays and smoking - how do they cause the same effect in the body? Then one day a few years back I met a German scientist who explained everything. The feeling was one of a TOTAL understanding of the body, yet the concept was so simple!

Smoking itself does not age you - I mean don’t get me wrong there are many affects of smoking, but one effect was particularly important. Smoking and UV rays as well as other things, cause a huge increase in molecules in the body called FREE RADICALS. The body produces these normally, however activities such as smoking increase the levels to dangerous amounts. These free radicals in turn INCREASE the normal rate of mutations that occur in the body.

Just to clarify, for a moment: the body is always in a state of renewal. Constantly duplicating its cells and then killing the old ones. It makes exact replicas of itself to do this. BUT over time errors occur (mutations) - and this is the NORMAL AGING PROCESS.

Now these free radical molecules SPEED UP the mutations, and therefore SPEED UP AGING.

I then learnt about anti oxidants. Antioxidants ‘mop up’ free radicals in the body. We get them from fruit and vegetables in the diet and they form our protection.

SO… it is NOT smoking, per say, but the fact that it INCREASES production of free radicals in the body and these go around INCREASING the rate of mutation in our cells which is the main cause of aging. You got it!

and… anti oxidants, the natural nutrients found in fruit and vegetables can mop up these free radicals bringing them back into line.

So… you could say, the more we have things such as pesticides on food, UV rays because of the ozone layer, pollution we cannot avoid, and hectic stressful lifestyles (as well as cultural habits such as smoking or passive smoking) the MORE anti oxidants we need.

But. As we need MORE anti oxidants, the supply is going down. Why? Because of the global market for fruit and vegetables, most are picked when unripe (the full complex of anti oxidants and their required co factors do not get a chance to form) and then shipped in gas storage around the world. All this means the nutritional value decreases. And that is in the fresh, natural produce. Add to that the fact that most of us eat in our diet mostly processed food (nutrients dead) - and there is a real problem.

When I found all this I realised something.

If Emilys sister is the real life example of what a higher level of free radicals does to you over time - increasing the aging process - surely the more anti oxidants we eat from a natural source, the more likely we are to be the REVERSE of Emily’s sister, and look 10 years YOUNGER when we are 50! I’ll drink my fruit and vegetable juices to that!

A scientist by training, I see our body as one big chemical reaction, with everything going in to it counting towards our health and appearance. Working with the best anti aging natural supplements over the last three years has led me to meetings with the worlds leading dieticians and doctors and I have learnt so much from this, which I now share to the world!
