Growing old –whether measured in lines and wrinkles, the number of gray hairs on your head, or by the severity of any disease you may have –is a natural part of life, correct? Not quite. A growing number of researchers are questioning our basic concept of aging. Some experts believe that aging should not be viewed as a natural occurrence but as a condition. Specifically, that science should label aging as a disease.

And while we wait for more definitive studies that could lead to successfully stopping the clock on aging, we can slow down its tick through a healthy lifestyle, good skincare, and a variety of cosmetic procedures available today. The world-acclaimed board-certified cosmetic dermatologists of Cosmetic Laser Dermatology in San Diego are passionate about finding ways to reverse the effects of aging. With their dedication and unmatched expertise in anti-aging treatments, coupled with a unique in-house research center, they can help you regain your youthful appearance.

 Should Aging Be Considered A Treatable Disease?

A report published on the Harvard Medical School website explains how a new framework for the classification of aging as a disease will pave the way for building a cohesive method of thinking about age-related diseases, and forming preventative strategies and new therapies for it. George Church, Professor of Genetics at Harvard adds:

“Scientists are rapidly gaining novel insights into the molecular origins of age-related diseases, and we are seeing these insights lead to small molecules, proteins, and cell and gene therapies to stem the tide of age-related disease and enhance humankind’s general wellness and longevity.”

Professor Church also participated in what could be a game-changer in the study of aging. He co-founded Rejuvenate Bio, which aims to reverse aging with gene therapy. Along with his co-founders, they have collected compelling evidence in mice proving that with technology, they can reverse multiple age-related diseases at once. This research points to a likely breakthrough in our ability to effectively treat the many conditions associated with aging, which could eventually lead to a means of finally solving the problem of aging itself.

There are many benefits to re-classifying aging as a disease. Associate research director at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, author, and medical correspondent for Fox5 News San Diego, Sabrina Guillen Fabi, M.D., points out the following advantages:

  •  Some researchers believe that classifying aging as a treatable disease would make more funding for additional research into drug therapies more readily available.
  •  FDA guidelines can ensure what conditions a drug can be licensed to act on, and what conditions a drug can be prescribed and sold for.
  •  The classification of aging as a disease will also help reduce the proliferation of untested anti-aging products. This step protects older people from being exploited and prevents any development of any unsupported claims.

Even if classified as a disease, we are still a long way from declaring aging as “curable.” In the meantime, we can trust the hands of experts to help us hold on to our youth.
