It is important to keep in mind that there are countless factors we can manage to slow down and prevent aging.
Many people blame genetics for their appearance or for having a specific skin concern, but it is important to understand that heredity accounts for only about one third of the causes of our physical traits and characteristics.
There are two other major factors that determine the speed and the way we age:
On the one hand, there are those related to our lifestyle—habits associated with smoking, sun exposure, diet, and physical activity. On the other hand, there are physiological factors closely linked to our daily life, such as digestive and liver health, dermo-aesthetic health, and sex hormones.
The final outcome is the result of a combination of factors. If genetics work against us in some aspect, we still have the other two conditions we can work on to achieve the appearance we desire.
This can be achieved, on the one hand, by improving our habits and lifestyle to make them healthier (with the support of specialists such as a nutritionist or a personal trainer). On the other hand, by consulting aesthetic medicine professionals who can provide a high-quality diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan, and ongoing follow-up.
