This thesis is entitled "Improving the quality of life for preventing aging and addressing it through cosmetic and medical treatments". It is intended to study both the causes and the treatment of aging. It analyzes the adoption of a healthy lifestyle through nutrition, exercise and psychological balance in order to improve people's quality of life and how this has an impact on their appearance. It describes the treatment of aging through the Aesthetic and Medical perspective. Specifically, Aesthetics as a science focuses on skin care with less invasive methods through mask, peeling, cosmetic products, face and body massages as well as using radio frequencies and ultrasound to increase penetration of the products in the skin. On the other hand, Medicine works on the skin in a more invasive way through injectable treatments and facial and body plastic surgery (Face-lifting, Breast Lift). Both Aesthetics and Medicine are involved in dermabrasion, mesotherapy and Lasers to remove wrinkles and relaxation caused by aging.
