Aging and aesthetics

This website cannot replace a visit to the doctor’s office. Consult with your physician if you have any medical problem!

“God has heard your prayers ever since the first day you decided to humble yourself in order to gain understanding.”

Daniel 10:12.

Surgery:

Recent internet pages show very negative results of aesthetic interventions on prominent personalities all over the world.

As a medical practitioner, I had always believed, that surgery of this kind is usually safe.

Whether you are of hedonic convictions, or just interested in this topic:

– There is a definitive alternative to plastic operations!

A correctly implemented training program could not only change your lifestyle, and make your life more pleasurable as such, but has a very potent effect on your appearance.

Tonicity of your whole body would increase, and people are even sometimes in difficulty, as to defining your age.

Inesthetic skin folds in third age:

Those are probably the result of a high protein diet associated with a slimming regime.

Reducing aminoacid intake could be salutary.

Old medical textbooks advocate 1 g protein intake per kg bodyweight per day, which is probably already excessive.

Ten to fifteen percent of body proteins are contained in the skin, and last ones are difficult to mobilize for turn-over.

Avoiding bouts of weight loss improves the odds.

Brown skin spots:

Those ones, frequent on the hands after 60, especially with regular sun exposition, fade away and disappear after taking for several years oral antioxidants.

Some need a special advice by the Dermatology Specialist (Beware of Malignant Melanoma!).

Skin itching:

This one appears with advancing age, especially on the head.

One reason could be allergy.

An efficient therapy is black cumin oil (Algerian Doctor’s recipe).

Absorbing one teaspoon alleviates symptom immediately (Beware of atopic reactions and allergy!)

Rhinophyma:

Very well known on the nose of alcoholics, (Red wine, Resveratol accelerates basal metabolic rate).

Dermatologists treat it efficiently with pealing of the superficial layer (Shaving blade).

Recurrence is the rule.

As epidermis on the face exhibits a much faster turn-over than elsewhere in the body, it needs special daily care.

Washing with soap accumulates resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which blocks sebaceous glands with thick secretions and thus exacerbates this ailment.

Using only warm water and vigorous rubbing with a rough glove out of natural material, for instance hemp, can do the job.

Do not forget to nourish the skin afterward with a drop of vegetal ointment!

Sweet almond oil is sold under the brand name Antidry.

Apart from that, this appendice is extremely well vascularized and if you overdo last procedure, there would be an inflammation (Like Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Raindeer).

So, avoid excess on next occasion!

With time tissue becomes tough and resilient.

(Essential Fatty Acids and Vitamin A are also important for this task.)

Massage:

This can be done with a horsehair brush, and stimulates efficiently blood flow.

If you are living alone, you can use a hemp-belt for the back.

Bed Sores:

Those appear exceedingly fast in bedridden persons.

Modern technology offers air mattresses which inflate and deflate at alternating areas changing thus pressure points.

Well versed nurses succeed usually well at good care.

Occasionally one can witness overtreatment.

Frequent massage with camphor of exposed areas stimulates blood flow and helps efficiently prevention.

Changing position frequently and wrapping heels in soft lambs’ fur are good measures too.

Once there is an open wound, cleaning with physiological NaCl solution is all what is needed, and disinfectants should be avoided as much as possible.

Those ones do more harm than good, as they select resistant germs. Soaps have usually same result.

Considering washing with Yoghurt, wine or diluted vinegar spots of concern and whole body with Antidry would be useful, as this brings nice, non-aggressive flora to the skin.

Oily solutions should not encounter lesions.

Debridement must be kept to a minimum and limited exclusively to completely devitalized areas. Regrowth happens frequently even in unexpected regions.

Alternating cold and warm to bare parts accelerates healing. Thus, therapy with Icepacks is followed by air from a hairdryer.

Protection is at first warranted with soft suede leather, and later naked epidermis is kept free to air.

Other means are also available, as for instance special gels.

Food supplements aiming at boosting metabolic turn-over, and non-specific biotic prevention, like Resveratrol (Red Wine), Curcumin (Turmeric), and Allicin (Garlic), should be discussed.
