To maximize your beauty, care for both the inside and outside is essential. We aim to bring advanced anti-aging treatments, such as peptide therapy common overseas, to our Japanese patients. While aesthetic medical approaches may offer more gradual results, they are crucial for building the foundation that supports beauty and youth. We combine nutritional therapy and lifestyle improvements with hormone replacement, peptide therapy, and regenerative medicine to propose personalized treatment plans. We provide long-term support for health and beauty from within.

ロンジェビティ医学が世界で注目を集める!健康長寿を叶える驚きの治療法|ビアンカの美容内科医 前田陽子が解説!

 

The keyword gaining attention in the American beauty industry for 2025 is "Longevity." Derived from the Latin words "longus" (long) and "aevum" (era or lifespan), it literally translates to "long life" in English. However, in the United States, it has become established as a term meaning "not just extending lifespan, but living a long, healthy, and beautiful life."

Did you know that in addition to chronological age, which is calculated based on your date of birth, there is also biological age, determined by the state of each individual cell?

 

<The Difference Between Chronological Age and Biological Age>

◆Chronological age…The number of years since birth

◆Biological age…Age expressed based on the condition of bodily tissues and cells

 

Today, amid various studies on the mechanisms of aging, the theory that "aging can be treated by controlling the rate of biological age progression" is becoming the standard. This represents a major advancement that challenges the very foundation of anti-aging medicine. If rejuvenating biological age becomes possible, it will not only promise a youthful appearance in the future but also reduce the risk of physical decline and disease.

 

The global social economy media platform "News Picks" has seen an increase in articles about longevity, with major cosmetics companies like "Estée Lauder" and "L'Oréal" also implementing their own initiatives in the longevity field. While the term may still be unfamiliar in Japan, we'll likely hear it more often in the near future.

 

Now, let me explain in detail what specific approaches "Longevity" entails.

 

What is "Anti-Aging Therapy" in Longevity Medicine?

 

Phil Newman, founder and CEO of Longevity.Technology, a company leading global anti-aging technology, states that treatments for aging in longevity medicine can be categorized as follows:

 

<The 10 Stages of Longevity>

【1】Lifestyle Management Managing lifestyle factors such as diet, sleep, exercise, alcohol consumption, smoking, and stress can slow the progression of age-related diseases or prevent them altogether.

 

【2】Consumer-Driven Diagnosis Using lifestyle questionnaires and information from wearable devices, we implement clinical interventions and lifestyle interventions to extend healthy life expectancy.

 

【3】Longevity Supplements Take supplements designed to boost metabolism and restore cellular functions lost with aging.

 

【4】Services at the Longevity Clinic We provide specialized diagnosis using health and aging biomarkers, along with clinical guidance on lifestyle, dietary, and therapeutic interventions to mitigate the progression of aging, all delivered within a medical facility.

 

【5】Management of Age-Related Diseases We provide clinical interventions to manage the symptoms of age-related diseases (i.e., current general medical care).

 

【6】Preventive Treatment for Age-Related Diseases We implement clinical interventions to control aging factors and prevent the onset of age-related diseases.

 

【7】Targeted Reversal of Ageing-Related Diseases We will implement therapeutic interventions to prevent or reverse ageing-related damage in specific organs (organ-specific, tissue-specific, or localized reversal) or in diseases associated with ageing.

 

【8】Reversing Systemic Aging We provide therapeutic interventions to halt or reverse damage associated with aging throughout the entire body.

 

【9】Organ and Biological Preservation or Maintenance Extends human lifespan beyond its natural limits. (Companies operating at this level focus on developing technologies to replace or repair damaged organs and tissues.)

 

【10】Preservation of Body and Consciousness Preserve the body and consciousness so that one may awaken again when anti-aging treatments and disease cures, which have not yet been realized, are established.

 

 

Some of these treatments are already being performed, while others have not yet been realized. Furthermore, while certain treatments may be standard overseas, they may still be in the developmental stage in Japan. At Bianca Clinic, we actively look to anti-aging treatments from abroad and provide a variety of treatments from the perspectives of aesthetic medicine and regenerative medicine.

 

【Beauty × Longevity】An Internal Medicine Approach to Achieving Healthy Longevity

At Bianca Clinic's Aesthetic Medicine Department, the following approaches are available for anti-aging treatments:

 

natural hormone replacement therapy

 

This treatment involves hormone replacement therapy based on blood test results, aimed at addressing aging concerns, alleviating menopausal symptoms, and improving quality of life (QOL). It can be combined with cosmetic surgical procedures or orthomolecular nutritional therapy, providing a customized treatment plan tailored to each patient.

NMN IV Drip

 

A next-generation back-aging treatment gaining global attention, with rejuvenating effects validated by research from Harvard University and Keio University. By activating genes closely linked to aging, it supports rejuvenation from within. Recommended for those seeking not just outward appearance but a youthful, healthy lifestyle for both mind and body, and for those wishing to boost their vitality.

peptide therapy

 

This therapy supplements peptides that decrease within the body with age, supporting communication functions between cells and tissues. Its benefits include a focus on preventive medicine, customizable treatment options, and minimal side effects. Suitable for all ages and genders, it offers a comprehensive approach, making it ideal not only for maintaining outward appearance but also for preserving inner health.

orthomolecular nutritional therapy

 

Orthomolecular nutrition therapy analyzes each patient's nutritional status based on blood and urine test results. Our aesthetic medicine specialists provide personalized dietary and supplement guidance, supporting tailored nutrient supplementation for your health needs. Beyond diet, we also focus on lifestyle habits like exercise and sleep to manage your overall nutritional balance.
