Zusammenfassung

Da Jugendlichkeit und Schönheit, die heutzutage als gesellschaftliche Ideale gelten, nicht ewig währen, werden immer mehr Maßnahmen angeboten, mit denen der Hautalterung entgegengewirkt werden soll. Die meisten der angepriesenen Behandlungsmethoden gegen das Altern folgen jedoch nicht den wissenschaftlichen Empfehlungen. Im Zuge des Schönheits- und Jugendlichkeitskults fallen immer häufiger die Begriffe "aging" (Altern) und "anti-aging" bzw. "rejuvenation" (Verjüngung), die im Folgenden erklärt werden sollen. Außerdem werden Fakten und Visionen einiger bekannter "Anti-aging-Eingriffe" gegenübergestellt.

Abstract

Youth and beauty are today considered to be social ideals. However, as these are not permanent, ever more measures are offered which are reputed to prevent aging, for example of the skin. Most of these measures do not follow scientific recommendations. Within this trend to youth and beauty, the use of the terms aging and anti-aging (rejuvenation) are more frequent. These will be discussed in the present manuscript along with the facts and visions of some well known "anti-aging measures".
