Smart Ageing
Smart Ageing is a preventive and personalised medical specialty that supports healthy, active and balanced ageing. The goal is not to stop ageing but to optimise it, helping each person maintain vitality, autonomy, and overall well-being.
Inspired by Functional Medicine, this approach seeks to identify and address the root causes of accelerated ageing and chronic conditions. It considers factors such as nutrition, hormonal balance, genetics, stress, sleep and environment.
Smart Ageing also has an aesthetic goal: preserving skin quality and beauty (firmness, radiance, hydration), boosting self-confidence through an “antifading” approach—slowing visible signs of ageing while embracing naturalness.
