Remaining young

Abrasive paste recipes have been found on ancient papyrus scrolls, which proves men have always been looking for eternal youth. Aging is inevitable, but in the XIXth century, people were old at 40 years old; today people are old at 80 years old or more. People live longer and want to remain active and integrated in social life.

People thus want to look younger, for themselves, their partner, their family and towards society. It is both a desire and a pleasure (in these words noble sense), that is the desire and pleasure to remain active, in good health, and attractive. People look more active, more creative when they look younger or at least in the prime of life.

The trick does certainly not consist in getting younger, but in taking care of oneself and feeling attractive aware of one’s age.

Taking care of oneself to grow old serenely

Life hygiene is fundamental in the physical, dietetic, moral and intellectual fields. Sedentary lifestyles are to be avoided, as well as excessive physical or sport activity. It is essential to sleep well.

Hahnemann, the creator of homeopathy, has written: “A healthy, robust and agile body makes the mind work more easily and successfully; all the time spent on body exercises is largely compensated by the happy effects they produce on intelligence itself; they give intelligence tone and movement; they allow the man of study to do in half an hour what he would usually not be able to do in half a day, when confined in a room all day long. They transform strenuous and ineffective efforts into a free and easy impetus”.

Getting more attractive and seductive

Aging is characterised by skin flaccidity, loss of volume and pigmentation disorders. Beauty requirements change with periods, but there is one constant: you must look as if you were rich. When peasants were meagre, malnourished and burnt by the sun, the beauty requirements were to be plump and to have a skin as white as possible. It is today the complete opposite…

The physician can use a whole range of devices: the dermal fillers, the laser peel to restore the skin surface, and the botulinum toxin to smooth the folds created by muscle contractures.
