Anti-aging Past, Present, And Future
Since the dawn of time females (and many males) have attempted to ward away the inevitable effects of growing old. Through the ages almost every substance known to man from manure to acid has been spread on the face to try to reverse wrinkle formation.
The vast majority of these so called treatments did little to prevent wrinkles. In reality, many of these potions caused allergic reactions and sometimes even led to death. However, as human medicinal and chemical knowledge has improved, anti-wrinkle creams have become more effective at treating wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Even with today’s advances in science no substance yet known will result in a permanent reduction in the number and severity of wrinkles. That said, some of the modern treatments will temporarily reduce the intensity of facial wrinkles yielding a much more youthful appearance.
The mode of operation of today’s slew of Anti-wrinkle creams can roughly be divided into to classes. One class of creams strips away dead skin exposing tender more youth full flesh. The other type slightly swells the skin which does hide wrinkles.
Some of the anti-aging products today use several active ingredients to fully utilize both methods. Depending on these ingredients, anti-wrinkle creams can cost from a few dollars a bottle to over $1000 per ounce. Even after extensive research, no solid proof exists showing the more expensive products to be more efficacious.
The fundamental flaw with the current anti-wrinkle products on the market is that they mask wrinkles rather than treat the problems that aging causes the human skin. Because they must be used for long periods of time, even cheap products can quickly strain a budget.
Anti-aging lotions on the market may suddenly improve if and when new concoctions that pharmaceutical companies are investing cash in to develop reach consumers. Some studies show that the new ingredients are remarkably effective at stopping aging in its tracks.
As long as people continue to age we all wish for a personal fountain of youth. Soon with luck, and allot of good science there may exist
