抗老化治疗

大多数的科学家都对抗老化治疗持质疑态度。这是因为临床试验被管制，大多数的抗老化产品是否有益就很少得到公开证实。你可以认为这是因为私企不愿将研究结果公布于众，如果这些产品真的有重要或积极的作用，你想也想得到那些公司的公关部门早就得意洋洋得到处大肆宣扬。

我们早前就已经洞察那些昂贵的价格并不暗示这些抗老化治疗是有效的。结论就是：没有任何此类产品是像其承诺般有效。

Does any treatment work?

The only thing that scientists and reputable dermatologists agree on is that application of topical retinoid can repair sun damaged skin and prevent future collagen damage. Oh yeah, and they all say using sunscreen is a good thing.

Beyond that, forget about it. Yes, that includes the $95 Perricone Restorative Cream. Vitamin C works when you eat it, not when you slather it on your skin.

Lasers for your skin?

Recently, lasers and LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) have been shown to effectively rejuvenate photo aged skin. Cosmetic surgeons have been making lots of money from these treatments and the big cosmetic manufacturers like P&G and L’Oreal are trying to bring you this same treatment at home. But the technology isn’t quite ready. Products you can buy right now like the Beurer Soft laser will likely disappoint.

那些治疗有用吗？

科学家们和著名皮肤学者们唯一认同的是涂抹相关维甲酸可以修复受损肌肤，防止将要发生的胶原质受损．的确，他们都认为使用防晒霜是种好方法。

除此之外的东西，正如９５美元的抗衰老医生尼古拉的PERRICONE的修复乳液，就都别去理会了。维他命C只在你食用时才起效，而不是你将它厚厚地涂抹在皮肤的时候。

皮肤激光治疗

最近，雷射和LED（发光两级管灯）已显示能使干黄，粗糙起皱的皮肤恢复年轻。整形外科医生已从中获得暴利，化妆用品制造商巨头，例如保洁和欧莱雅正努力使您将这项服务带回家享受。但是这项技术尚不成熟。你目前可以花钱享受的此产品就像beurer温柔疗法那样，很可能使你失望。

The Beauty Brains bottom line

Scientists in the anti-aging field (who are not trying to sell you products) agree, anti-aging products are over-priced and under-deliver. For a 20-something, the best thing you can do is eat right, exercise and avoid long sun exposure. If you’re a bit older, start using skin products that contain vitamin A derivatives. They’re the only thing that has yet been proven to be effective.

最保险的美容密招

研究抗老化的科学家们（他们不会说服你去买产品）一致认为：抗老化产品标价过高而且效用不济。对于一个20几岁的年轻人来说，最好的抗老化就是正确地饮食，适当运动，避免阳光日晒。如果，你年龄稍长，可以开始食用含有维他命A衍生物的产品。他们是唯一一种已被证实有效的药物。
