What is longevity and well-being?
Longevity and well-being describe a state of lasting health and satisfaction. Recently, this concept has received considerable attention. It goes beyond the boundaries of traditional healthcare and has a holistic approach aimed at improving quality of life and healthspan. For my practice, integrating longevity and wellness is a natural extension of my commitment to improving the lives of my patients by focusing on preventative and regenerative measures, advanced diagnostics and personalized interventions.
Inner and outer beauty
It goes without saying that my patients’ beauty potential cannot be achieved through superficial procedures alone, but also requires mental and physical healing and rejuvenation from within.
Longevity medicine
Longevity medicine is an emerging field that combines insights from gerontology with cutting-edge diagnostics and interventions to promote longer, healthier lives. Unlike traditional medicine, which often focuses on treating illnesses after they occur, longevity medicine aims to prevent age-related illnesses before they arise by healing the body, mind, and spirit. This proactive approach includes improving and maintaining well-being through early disease prevention and continuous health optimization.
Healthspan
The basic philosophy of longevity medicine focuses on extending healthspan – the time we spend in good health – and not just lifespan. With a focus on healthspan, longevity medicine strives to improve quality of life by targeting comprehensive health.
Plastic surgery and specialty clinics for longevity
Medical innovation
Plastic surgery has always been at the forefront of medical innovation. As with previous breakthroughs, such as the first kidney transplant by plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph Murray or the pioneering role in tissue regeneration, regenerative medicine and aesthetics, plastic surgeons, in collaboration with aging scientists, gerontologists and internists, will play a central role in the new and emerging longevity sector. Aesthetic plastic surgeons are familiar with the specific requirements and needs of a demanding clientele – a knowledge and skill that goes beyond traditional medical training.
Longevity clinics
Longevity clinics are specialized facilities that provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and tailored treatment plans to promote health and wellness and slow or reverse the aging process. Unlike traditional medicine, which focuses primarily on treating existing diseases, longevity clinics emphasize increasing vitality, prevention and early detection of health risks. Since biological age is the most important risk factor for the development of many diseases, and at the same time a long life without happiness and fulfillment is not very desirable, it makes sense to value both longevity and well-being.
Biological age
An important element of my longevity practice is the determination of biological age, which provides a more precise picture of a person’s physiological state compared to chronological age. Biological age is determined by analyzing your DNA and various biomarkers that provide information about cellular and molecular health. This data supports the development of personalized interventions tailored to your individual profile and allows progress to be monitored over time.
State-of-the-art longevity diagnostics
The diagnostic instruments in my longevity well-being practice represent the latest in medical technology. A comprehensive medical history and analysis of blood biomarkers are complemented by epigenetic and genetic tests, which have now become indispensable elements of the diagnostic process. They provide a precise picture of my patients’ current and potential health status. By matching this data with other health metrics, we can develop a detailed understanding of individual risk factors and health needs.
DNA analysis
Analysing your genetic material (DNA) makes it possible to identify predispositions to certain diseases and conditions. This information can be used to develop highly personalised preventative measures, such as specific nutritional recommendations, strategies to avoid and manage stress, and tailored exercise programs.
Continuous measurement of body functions
Wearable devices and home health monitoring tools play an important role in diagnosing and monitoring health and treatment progress. Such devices, including smartwatches and fitness trackers, continuously collect data on various health parameters such as heart rate, activity level, sleep patterns, and more. Their integration into telemedicine platforms simplifies continuous monitoring and advice, so that professional care is possible even without regular personal visits to the doctor.
Tailored interventions
After a thorough health assessment, you will receive tailored action plans aimed at improving your health and reducing the effects of aging. These plans often include suggestions for:
- Lifestyle changes
- Movement
- Diet change
- Dietary supplements
- Lymphatic massages
- LED light therapy
- Negative ion therapy
- Cryotherapy
- Coaching techniques
- Coping strategies for stressful everyday life
- and more…
I also offer advanced regenerative medicine treatments aimed at repairing and rejuvenating tissues at the cellular level:
Well-Being Partner
In order to be able to offer you comprehensive and tailored assessments, diagnoses and interventions, I work with a select group of partner companies. These specialize in various aspects of longevity and wellbeing to promote your physical and mental health as well as your general wellbeing and happiness in life. Continuous health and mental coaching are essential elements of the concept of my practice. They provide direct support and guidance in implementing your personal health plans. Regular check-ups and assessments ensure that interventions remain effective and can be adapted to changes in your health.
The future of longevity medicine
The future of longevity medicine looks promising as ongoing research continues to provide new insights into the aging process and possible interventions. Given the advances in the field, it is expected that more evidence-based treatments will be approved, further cementing the legitimacy and effectiveness of longevity medicine. Developments in biotechnology, genetics and artificial intelligence will play a key role in creating new diagnostic tools and therapeutic approaches.
Private practice REDEKER AESTHETICS
For a private plastic and aesthetic surgery practice expanding into longevity medicine, integrating advanced technologies and personalized holistic treatments offers a significant opportunity to improve treatment outcomes and position itself as a partner to leaders in the longevity and well-being field. By integrating the principles of longevity medicine, my practice is able to provide a holistic approach to health that promotes aesthetic aspects as well as overall well-being and inner beauty.
