The Professional Master’s Degree Antiaging that TECH designed delves into the most effective techniques of anti-aging medicine, but also into the causes that accelerate these processes and that play a decisive role in the health of patients
Is the passage of time the only cause of aging? Numerous studies show that external factors, such as solar radiation or cosmetic products greatly affect the appearance of the skin over the years, but genetics, eating habits, or stress also play a fundamental role. It is this scientific evidence that supports the contents of the Professional Master’s Degree Antiaging of TECH Technological University, a fully online postgraduate course for doctors that focuses on preventive medicine and the treatment of aging.
Therefore, if we consider that stress is the physical and emotional reaction to the tension that the individual endures, whether circumstantial or prolonged in time, it is to be expected to have consequences on the health and physical appearance of patients. Headache, muscle tension, and fatigue are only the first clues that show that the person is suffering from stress, but the medium and long-term repercussions are reflected in the skin and hair.
One of the markers of aging is insulin resistance, which occurs naturally, but can be accelerated if the individual is subjected to elevated levels of stress. This means that the body’s tissues lose sensitivity to insulin, increasing fatigue, causing high blood pressure, weight gain and the risk of infections. When this process begins earlier than usual, the body undergoes premature and precipitous aging.
Visible Effects Of Stress
On an external level, stress has devastating effects, and the skin is the largest organ of the human body, and it reflects what is happening on a physical and emotional level. In children and young people, it tends to manifest itself in the form of acne, but in adults, it affects the elasticity and hydration of the skin. If the distress situation is prolonged over time, the visible consequences could become irreversible.
Hair also changes because of elevated levels of stress and anxiety: some research shows that sustained stress over time leads to the loss of the substance that gives color to hair follicles, resulting in increased gray hair or, in extreme situations, hair loss.
Medicine focused on preventing aging focuses on solving the external consequences and symptoms of time passage and studies and tries to alleviate the physical and emotional causes that can lead to accelerated aging. Beyond aesthetic issues, which are increasingly relevant today, the focus is on the well-being and health of patients, so that they can age in the best practical way. TECH’s Professional Master’s Degree Antiaging explores these issues based on the most rigorous scientific studies.
Re-Learning Method
The Professional Master’s Degree Antiaging of TECH is developed entirely online. During the 12 months of training, the student has access to the program’s contents at any time and from any device, allowing them to self-manage the study time with maximum flexibility and adapt to each student’s schedule.
It has its own learning method, ‘Re-Learning’, based on asynchrony and self-management. The contents are presented in an attractive and dynamic way in multimedia capsules that include audio, videos, images, diagrams, and conceptual maps to corroborate knowledge.
