skin smart breath of fresh air David Suzuki discusses agemanagement through oxygen infusion


Since the beginning of time, man has searched the world endlessly for the infamous fountain of youth; a secret ingredient, remedy, tincture or concoction that can freeze the hands of time, and perhaps, even reverse it.


Regardless of whether or not the fountain of youth exists, it is this optimistic and obsessive pursuit of immortality that continues to spur a perpetual evolution of health and wellness that has significantly enhanced our quality of life and nearly doubled our average life expectancy over the last century.


This in itself requires an entirely different approach to life and has verymuch shaped today’s culture.The way we eat, exercise,


care for our skin and protect ourselves has changed and adapted to the reality that we will be living a longer life.


In today’smodern world ofmedicine, we can replacemechanical parts of our body such as a hip or kneemuch like swapping a set of tyres on our car.When it comes to the skin, however, there is nothing currently available that can be used as a replacement; worn out skin, is worn out skin.With this inmind we must be very proactive about our health, wellness and skin care, and understand that achieving andmaintaining beautiful skin requires a complete lifestyle that champions cellular well being.


cellular ageing


The cellular energy that allows life itself to be possible is known asATP (adenosine tri phosphate). Up to 90%of the totalATP that the body relies on to sustain life is


manufactured in themitochondria of each cell.Themitochondria can be thought of as small factories thatmanufactureATP for the purpose of providing this energy for the cell. The cell in turn is able to use this energy to function and, together in harmony with a conglomeration of cells, create what we define as life itself.This represents themost basic to complex functions of the human body, including repair and regeneration of the skin.


Studies indicate that by the time that we reach the age of 60 our ability to manufactureATP will have depleted by nearly half, bringingmerit to the feeling that as we age we feel like we have less energy and agility.Although there aremany factors in the process of ageing, our inability to produce an adequate level of our base energy in the formofATP that allows us to repair and regenerate, is at the epicentre of the ageing process.


The dome application of oxygen utilises a clear transparent dome that allows for a localised hyperbaric facial service.
