Cosma Institute promotes healthy aging approach over anti-aging

Dr. James Co, founder of the Cosma Institute, is advocating for a shift in perspective from ‘anti-aging’ to ‘healthy aging’ in the field of aesthetic medicine. During a recent event, Dr. Co emphasized that aging is a natural biological process rather than a disease to be cured.

Medical research indicates that facial transformation is a systemic process involving changes to bone structure, ligaments, muscles, fat compartments, and skin. Rather than focusing solely on surface-level wrinkles, a comprehensive approach requires understanding the subterranean anatomical shifts that dictate how a face changes over time. Because factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and facial structure vary, there is no single standard for how a person should age, necessitating individualized and responsible aesthetic interventions.
