How to "reverse growth"?

Reverse Growth For some time, 47-year-old actor Li Nan has been shocked by netizens as "Uncle Reverse Growth" because he looks too young, and the topic of "Reverse Growth" has become popular. Previously, many actors or ordinary people have become "legends of immortality". Netizens envy them as if they have used "preservatives" and ask for advice on skin care secrets. Coincidentally, the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to the researchers of "reverse cell growth", the British John B. Gurdon and the Japanese Shinya Yamanaka. Could it be that the dream of "reverse cell growth" has dawned? However, the "miracle" has not yet been born, but can some of the methods of delaying aging mentioned by "role models" and popular among people help ordinary people warm up for "rejuvenation"?

[Show all] Those "reverse growth" uncles who are popular on the Internet Edit this paragraph Back to table of contents In people's impression, actresses are often more likely to stay young and beautiful because they pay attention to maintenance, but in fact, some male actors have faces that can be described as " Time has no trace." These elderly uncles have countless fans with their delicate faces. Julian Cheung is 41 years old this year, with elastic skin and no fine lines. He still looks like he is in his early 20s; Jimmy Lin has the reputation of "forever 17 years old", so much so that Guo Degang couldn't help but laugh at himself when facing Jimmy Lin: "I am just like him. Big, like a father and a son." The photo of the two was also circulated on Weibo; actor Li Nan was born in 1965 and starred in the 1987 version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" as Ming Yan and the 1998 version of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". He was 33 years old when he appeared in The Little Table. In 2001, when he was 36 years old, he played the teenage Kangxi again. Although Li Nan has entered middle age, there is nothing wrong with playing the role of a "youngster". His tender face is still very expressive. How can he not be envied? Nowadays, these anti-growth uncles are extremely popular. After all, people have always lamented the passing of time and the change of beauty. Suddenly they discovered "survivors" in the cruel web of time and had to exclaim for them to defeat time. . Julian Cheung True or False 1: Are there advantages to being born with a "baby face"? Edit this paragraph and return to the table of contents Answer: Yes. If you look carefully at the uncles who have reversed growth, you will find that they have one thing in common, that is, they are born with a baby face. You cannot force this face, you can only thank "God for giving it". A plastic surgeon said that from the perspective of visual difference and beauty, a baby face is indeed easy to cause "visual deception". A face shape with round eyes, plump cheeks, and moderate facial features will appear younger. In contrast, faces with high cheekbones tend to look older. The popular science website Guoke.com also said that "big eyes, round eyes, high eyebrows, small chin, plump cheeks, and wide forehead are the characteristics of a baby face. Baby faces will be misunderstood as 'childish' when they are young, but only with time With growth, the advantages of baby faces will be highlighted, and people around them will think that baby-faced adults are mentally younger, more honest, kinder, warmer, and more attractive than their peers. "Right and Wrong 2: Good mentality. , young people? Edit this paragraph and return to the table of contents Answer: Yes In fact, the old saying "love comes from the heart" is not unreasonable. Maintaining a good attitude is also the "secret" of every "reverse growth" uncle. Whenever asked about the "secret" of skin care, Jimmy Lin always said: "The secret is to have a good attitude." Lin Zhiying said that everyone will age, and he is no exception. If you want to look young, you must maintain a healthy and happy heart. Don't be depressed and frowning all day long. If your mentality is good, you will naturally look younger. This is similar to what Li Nan said, "Lean your mentality toward children." They are both manifestations of a good mentality. The 41-year-old Zhang Zhilin also said that the secret of his agelessness is to always look for opportunities to relax. "I like to sing when I take a shower, because singing is a very enjoyable thing." In addition, he always regards himself as a "stress-free student" and "cherishes every ups and downs, not only the smooth times, but also the difficult times." Experts say that appearance is the last thing, but the soul is the foundation. If you want to reverse the growth of your appearance, you must first learn to rejuvenate your soul. Adults often show a premature aging mentality. If you maintain a healthy mentality to face the pressure in life, you might as well take off the adult mask to keep your mental age young and your spirit happy. True or False 3: Can loving sports “reducing age”? Edit this paragraph and return to the table of contents. Answer: Yes. Exercise is the secret of almost every "reverse growth" person. South Korea’s super weight loss and bodybuilding queen Zheng Duoyan is 45 years old this year and has two children who are 14 and 15 years old respectively. After she gained weight for a time, she refused to be a yellow-faced woman who was out of shape and "strengthened herself". She still maintained a slim and hot figure through exercise alone, and was hailed as a "miracle body." The 41-year-old "gym beauty witch" Zhang Tingmei looks more like a beautiful girl full of youthful vitality. She also said: "Exercise is great, it is something everyone should insist on." Star Zhong Hanliang is also a sports fan, "Exercise will make you secrete Adrenaline, finding happiness, is an addiction. Every time I finish swimming, I feel very happy that day." A study published on the website of the "British Journal of Sports Medicine" proved that after middle age, people should continue to do aerobic exercise. Exercise can delay physiological aging by 12 years and extend the time to live independently in old age. Among them, aerobic exercise such as jogging can increase the body's oxygen consumption and promote metabolism.

Long-term relatively high-intensity aerobic exercise can increase maximum aerobic capacity by 25%. Moreover, exercise can keep a person's posture upright, look heroic, and naturally appear younger. The large secretion of happy hormones in the brain during exercise will help people have a happy mind. This kind of pleasure and nourishment from the outside to the inside , often able to achieve a "shattering reversal". True or False 4: Can supplements prevent aging? Edit this paragraph and return to the table of contents Answer: Not necessarily. Nowadays, in order to stay young, many people resort to "external forces" - spending a lot of money on supplements. I heard that estrogen supplementation can make you look younger, and many women want to try it. However, you still have to listen to your doctor on how to supplement estrogen and how much is appropriate. When women are in their 40s, their ovarian function begins to decline and aging accelerates. Its main manifestations include: loose skin, deepening of nasolabial folds, memory loss, body deformation, etc. Supplementing estrogen can indeed keep you young, and some people do need to supplement it, but it is best to supplement it under the guidance of a doctor. Because the estrogen levels of some people are not low, if they take supplements indiscriminately, the estrogen levels in the body will increase, which will cause some estrogen-dependent diseases, mainly diseases of the breast, endometrium, cervix, and even malignant tumors. Under the guidance of a doctor, the amount of supplementation needed is determined based on each person's estrogen level. In addition, some progesterone needs to be added, because supplementing estrogen alone can easily stimulate endometrial hyperplasia, which may eventually lead to malignant tumors, so additional supplements are needed. Progesterone antagonizes and achieves protective effects. These issues are very complex and must be dealt with under the guidance of a doctor. The popular soybean progesterone is said to be able to supplement estrogen. Professor Li Yuan saw a patient in the clinic who took soybean progesterone for a period of time in order to stay young. But the examination found that the estrogen level in her body was actually very high and the endometrium was already very thick. If this stimulation continues, it is possible that the endometrium will proliferate excessively, leading to precancerous lesions in the endometrium, and eventually endometrial cancer. If you want to take it, firstly, you must take it under the guidance of a doctor, and secondly, you must check regularly. Generally, check-ups are done once every 3 to 6 months depending on personal circumstances; some people have no problem with long-term supplementation, and a check-up once every 6 months is enough; some people have a family history of uterine fibroids, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer, and estrogen supplementation is even more necessary. careful. Therefore, we would like to remind you that using inappropriate methods to pursue an appearance that is "younger" than your age will lead to the occurrence of diseases. Interviewee/Li Yuan (Director of the Reproductive Medicine Center of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital) True or False 5: Can micro-plastic surgery help “anti-aging”? Edit this paragraph and return to the table of contents Answer: Yes As far as plastic and cosmetic surgery is concerned, the current non-surgical methods for rejuvenation mainly include injections and instruments. 1. Injection methods: At present, there are three types of cosmetic injections: botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, and collagen. Botulinum toxin can reduce or disappear dynamic wrinkles, such as glabellar lines, crow's feet, forehead lines, dorsal nose lines, and perioral lines, etc. It can also improve lateral brow ptosis, drooping corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines associated with aging faces. , unclear mandibular edge and deep neck lines, etc. Hyaluronic acid and collagen are mainly used to fill the areas of tissue loss and static wrinkles associated with aging faces, such as sunken frontotemporal and glabellar areas, tear troughs, apple muscles, cheeks, thinned lips and chin, and erections. lines, marionette lines, neck lines, etc. The aging of the face begins after the age of 20, when all the wrinkles are dynamic. By the age of 40, some static wrinkles will appear. If you start using Botox in your 20s, you can reduce dynamic wrinkles and prevent static wrinkles. After the age of 40, in addition to botulinum toxin injections, deep static wrinkles that have already occurred must be treated with fillers. The treatment cycle of botulinum toxin is related to its treatment concentration, dose and site. Generally speaking, the maintenance time is 5-12 months. In order to achieve a more natural expression, a lower injection dose will be selected, and the maintenance time will be shortened. Filler injection drugs generally last for 8-12 months, and with supplementary injections, they can last for 24-36 months. Due to individual differences, a single injection may last up to 24 months or less than 8 months in some people. 2. Instruments: Beauty instruments mainly include laser and radio frequency. Laser can make skin white and tender, remove and fade spots, shrink pores, remove red blood filaments, etc.; radio frequency can fade wrinkles, tighten skin, improve skin texture, and can be used for facial wrinkles and sagging, postpartum or postpartum sagging after weight loss. , has a very good therapeutic effect on the recovery and results after liposuction and wrinkle removal. Radio frequency - radio wave facelift Suitable age: 30-55 years old is the best, but people over 55 years old with good skin condition are also acceptable. Cycle: 10-15 days, 5 times as one course of treatment. If skin conditions require, one more course of treatment can be added. Maintenance time: It varies according to individual differences among patients, generally between 6 months and 2 years. Good skin condition is maintained for a relatively long time. In addition, postoperative skin care and a good daily routine are factors that directly affect the sustainability of the treatment effect. After treatment, special attention should be paid to hydration care, sun protection, and ensuring adequate sleep. Laser - Photorejuvenation Suitable for people aged 18 to 60 with skin problems. Treatment cycle: once a month, 4-5 times is a course of treatment. Maintenance time: Each treatment has its own effect, and multiple treatments can produce cumulative effects. After one course of treatment, it can last for more than 12 months. The two methods of injection and instrumentation can be used at the same time and cooperate with each other to produce twice the result with half the effort. For example, in the removal of mandibular fat, botulinum toxin injection or radiofrequency treatment alone are both effective, but the combination of the two will produce a 1+1>2 effect.

Another example is crow's feet at the corners of the eyes. Botulinum toxin injection can only reduce dynamic wrinkles and has no effect on static wrinkles. Radiofrequency treatment can improve static wrinkles better but has limited improvement on dynamic wrinkles. It must be noted that treatment must go to a formal institution and a qualified professional doctor. Don't act hastily thinking it's just an injection or a light. The doctor's experience and skills in treatment are important factors that determine the effect. Complications caused by illegal use of injection drugs and unreasonable treatment with instruments are not uncommon. Therefore, beauty seekers should be vigilant and not be "fooled" by illegal institutions. . Interviewee/Han Xuefeng (Guomao Clinic, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) True or False 6: Can science make humans "rejuvenate"? Edit this paragraph and return to the table of contents. Answer: Not necessarily. British John B. Gurdon and Japanese Shinya Yamanaka won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine for their cell research. The two laureates discovered that mature, specialized cells of an organism can be "reprogrammed" back to their original state, then modified, and developed into any type of cell. This kind of research on "cells living from old to young" makes the "physiological reverse growth" that many people long for no longer seem to be a dream. According to the Nobel Prize jury, the achievements of the two winners have "founding significance." Gurdon and Yamanaka's discovery showed that specialized cells can reverse development under certain circumstances... providing scientists around the world with new tools that have led to significant advances in many fields of medicine. This research is understood by the public as "rejuvenating", but it is actually a beautiful misunderstanding. Its original meaning is simply that it refers to the transformation of adult mature cells into immature pluripotent stem cells. This process is reversed for the development of individual cells. Stem cells are now a "hot word" in the biological and medical circles. They are actually immature cells that can develop into various cells in the body. The more important significance of this pluripotent stem cell is that it can complete asexual reproduction by re-programming a mature somatic cell back to its original state, and then modify and develop into a germ cell, thus becoming a new life. . The 2012 Nobel Prize winner, the British John B. Gurdon, initially used frogs as experimental subjects, and the Japanese Shinya Yamanaka's experiments with mice have also been successful, and there is also the well-known cloned sheep "Dolly". Even for higher animals, the principle is the same. So are this new life and the life of the original donor the same life? The answer is of course, no. The so-called rejuvenation is for an individual, but it creates another life. As for whether the results of this research can be applied to clinical organ reconstruction, and whether human organs can be replaced like car parts, I can only say that in principle there is such potential. “Rejuvenating one’s youth” is everyone’s dream, and medicine sometimes leaves a lot of room for imagination. But the current reality of medicine is that among lower animals, being able to create a new life is already very remarkable. If it is as everyone imagines - if someone suffers from a heart disease, the doctor can regenerate a healthy heart for the patient by taking just one skin cell from the patient - I don't know how long it takes from lower animals to humans. There is still a long way to go, and there are still many problems to be overcome, which are not only technical difficulties, but also involve many aspects such as government intervention, folk culture, and medical ethics. Interviewee/Xiao Ruiping (Director of the Institute of Molecular Medicine, Peking University) Tips on the four "eights" to protect your face. Edit this paragraph and return to the table of contents. However, don't be pessimistic about people who don't have baby faces. There is hope after all. of. Plastic surgeons have put forward the suggestion of "reverse growth" the day after tomorrow. What determines whether a person is young or not is not the shape of the face, but the firmness of the skin, which is mainly judged from the number of wrinkles and the degree of sagging. Wrinkles are the most intuitive and easily identifiable; while the degree of sagging mainly depends on the four "eights" on the face. You must pay attention to detecting and maintaining your own skin and facial lines, and be wary of the appearance of the four "eights". The so-called four "eights" on the face refer to the four lines on the face. From the forehead downward, the first "eight" is the eyebrow. Unless the eyebrows of young people are born with eight-shaped eyebrows, the eyebrows of young people are raised or even. Once the "eight" appears, it indicates that the muscle sagging has been quite serious. The second "eight" is a line formed along the tear trough, palpebral groove and zygomatic groove, which is located under the eye. Young people usually have a bulge in their cheekbones when viewed from the side. When they smile or make expressions, the cheekbones will bulge slightly and look like round and shiny apples, hence the name "apple skin." As age increases, the apple muscles gradually sag, and the zygomatic groove will appear in the zygomatic region, which is connected with the tear trough and palpebral cheek groove to form an "eight" figure. The third "eight" is the nasolabial fold, also known as the nasolabial fold. The older you get, the deeper your nasolabial folds become. The last "eight" is the marionette lines, which grow along the corners of the mouth and down the jaw. This line is also invisible on the faces of young people. Once these "eights" on the face gradually appear, it means that a person's facial muscle and skin conditions have become loose and sagging, and he will look older.
