Anti-aging is a medical specialty founded on the implementation of state-of-the-art scientific and medical technologies for the early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related dysfunction, disorders, and diseases. The aim of anti-aging medicine is to extend not only the human lifespan but also the quality of life and to limit the debilitating effects of aging. Anti-aging medicine is a new specialty with a growing number of physician practitioners, but not yet accepted by conventional medicine.

Aging is Inevitable. It is theorized to be the result of multiple factors:

• Cellular aging from free-radical damage resulting in the accumulation of defective mitochondria DNA.
• Decline in Neuroendocrine Hormone Production & Release.
• Loss of Intracellular Regulatory Enzymes.
• Build-up of Toxic Intracellular Enzymes.
• Cumulative chromosomal DNA damage resulting in harmful mutations, cancer, and immune decline.
• Loss of homeostatic mechanisms and negative feedback inhibition.
• The “Longevity Determinator” Telomere Theory – gradual shortening of the telomere with each cell division triggers cell senescence.

As a Result:

• The body shrinks in size.
• Fat is added inside your blood vessels.
• Fat is added inside your organs.
• Protein is lost from your bones.
• Protein is lost from your brain, kidneys, lungs, and heart.
• Face shape becomes thinner because of bone loss.
• Nose becomes larger from cartilage growth.
• Rib cage widens.
• The waist enlarges from fat accumulation and intestinal organ growth.
• The spine shrinks and curves with overall height loss.
• Heart muscle turns to fiber.
• Brain mass decreases.

There are many treatments effective to combat aging, including:

Microneedling — This treatment uses ultra-thin needles to softly penetrate the skin, stimulating collagen production.

Botox — An injection of the botulinum toxin relaxes muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
And many other treatments we offer at Luminous MediSpa.

This largely depends on the specific therapies or treatments you receive. Some patients receive injectable therapies that reduce wrinkles and relax the muscles in the face. Other patients like more organic anti-aging treatments like detoxification.
 
Numerous advantages of other therapies include pain relief, tighter, cleaner skin, and other advantages. You may go back in time and give yourself the young glow you’ve been missing by choosing a skincare procedure!
