The aging process can not be avoided by anyone. However, as medical science advances and technology, now existing disciplines anti-aging medicine is prevention study of the aging process.

In the medical world, anti-aging is not just to create a smooth skin and look young again. Moreover, these disciplines aim to help people live longer, healthier, and happier. Thus, the population of old people sick is reduced.

“Throughout the year, always increasing aging population, especially in Indonesia increased 400 percent since 1990. Must be suppressed so as not to become a burden for the next generation, ”
However, prevention of aging should not be carelessly done. Also, you do not easily influenced by advertisements anti-aging products that promise great benefits in a short time. “The ads only offer drugs face polish, not to prevent aging,”
According to Deby, such products are usually only works in certain areas, such as the face. In fact, aging attack occurred in a single comprehensive system. “If only rely on beauty products, facial skin look young, but other body functions is not necessarily,”

In addition, the use of beauty products will also be detrimental in the long run because many beauty products contain harmful chemicals, such as gene mutations can cause. “That can change a healthy genes into unhealthy,”

Conversely, more secure if you stop the aging process clinically. In clinical treatment, the patient must go through several stages of examination at the laboratory. The purpose of this investigation to see hormone levels appear to be indicators of whether or not the anti-aging medicine, among which are the hormones estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin, cortisol (stress hormone), growth hormone, thyroid, and pregnenolone.

The aging process occurs when hormones were reduced. It is usually experienced by women when attacked menopouse, while in men during andropause. “However, before the attack happened, laboratory tests can detect it more quickly,”
The laboratory includes examination of the patient’s blood sample. In addition, the examination can also be done through testing saliva samples (saliva). “Laboratory tests will analyze the hormone levels of each sample and the results will be communicated to patients,”

In addition, there are other ways to find out the status of “aging” someone, namely the bone density test bone density alias detection. “This is not much different from the check for osteoporosis or bone disorders. Actually osteoporosis occurs because there is a lack of hormones, especially DHEA, ”

DHEA is a hormone-forming estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. “So, if the test results showing a decline in hormone DHEA, will surely threatened shortage of the hormone estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone,”

Of the urine can also be known if we had suffered attacks of aging or not. This examination is carried out through quantitative urine test for 24 hours. The goal is to see the levels of growth hormone. Only, this examination is not practical. The patient should collect 24 hour urine, with no end.

After 24 hours, urine is collected and then taken to the laboratory for examination. However, since this is rather inconvenient way, many people are reluctant to live it. “The method was ribet, to collect urine for 24 hours,”
