New In Anti-aging Breakthroughs

There are plenty of anti-aging products on the market already

, but some new discoveries are providing hitherto unknown breakthroughs. And it is these breakthroughs that we are going to explore now.

One of them is the discovery of the Acai berry in the wilderness of South America. It was just a fruit growing in the wild till some enterprising individual discovered that it had weight-reducing qualities. So it was introduced to the world in the form of weight-loss pills. A few scientists decided to test it further, and found that Acai berry was a powerhouse of anti-oxidants and Anthocyanins. Further, this berry has the highest ORAC (Oxygen-Radical Absorbing Capacity) value of any known plant type.

It is now available in the form of a cream that can be applied to the face. When the cream penetrates deep into the skin, it activates the SIRT 1 gene or longevity gene (present within the body) which creates the SIRT 1 protein. This protein allows expression of HSF 1, which is also an anti-aging factor. Additionally, SIRT 1 protein alters a cell's life span by repairing damaged tissues, as well as causes caloric restriction (not allowing fat cells to build up)these are also anti-aging processes.

In fact, different substances known as peptides are being presented in an improved form and added to anti-aging formulations. The aim is to activate the longevity gene (SIRT 1 gene), so that the useful SIRT 1 protein is created.

Then there is Restalyne. It is a natural sugar that is found within your skin cells. It plumps up the lines of the skin. Researchers have succeeded in creating a facial filler containing Restalyne. This is injected into the skin in order to reduce wrinkles (wrinkles are depressions on your skin). Unlike Botox that relaxes the muscles, Restalyne plumps them up.

Some of you are susceptible to a condition called Melasma, that is, tan-colored discolorations resulting from the use of oral contraceptives or the state of pregnancy and childbirth. These age spots can be removed with the aid of a bleaching cream known as Triluma.

Laser treatment for the skin is already a familiar process, but have you heard of this new procedure called Thermage? Well, the procedure takes around half-a-day to perform, and is tackled only by experienced dermatologists. It is a huge breakthrough for the anti-aging process as the results of this procedure may last for several years.

Thermage involves the passing of an instrument over the face, generating radio waves all over. These radio waves are distributed in a grid formation with the aid of this pen-like tip. The waves cause the existing collagen in your skin to contract. They also aid in the formation of new collagen. Naturally, your face is going to look much younger than before.

Hope this new knowledge gives heart to people like you who are afraid of aging. May you never grow old!
