What is Anti-Aging Medicine?

"Medical research shows us that we can reverse or mitigate the affects of aging to feel better, look better and be healthier as we age," says Dr. Mahmud medical director of Innovative Directions In Health in Edina, Minnesota. "While some aspects of aging are genetic, more than 70 percent of aging is a result of our lifestyles. While we cannot change our genes, the expression of our genes can be altered through appropriate anti-aging management."

Dr. Mahmud has identified 10 reasons why we age, most of which can be managed with individualized hormonal balance; practical exercise and nutritional programs; appropriate vitamins, minerals and targeted supplements; appropriate anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory and anti-glycation measures; and chronic disease prevention techniques.

One example of the aging process that we can manage is the dramatic decline in our hormones. These are not limited to sex hormones. "Good" hormones protect us from disease and help us maintain strength and energy when we're young. But after our mid 20s, our hormone levels begin to drop and continue to decline as we age. Through individualized medical testing, Dr. Mahmud can assess hormone levels. When restored to youthful levels, good hormones offer the benefits we once enjoyed.

Dr. Mahmud also helps women make choices about hormone replacement treatments (HRT), and offers natural alternatives that scientific evidence has shown to be effective and safer than the synthetic hormones used in traditional HRT. HRT has become a topic of acute concern for peri- or post-menopausal women, since the recent results of the Women's Health Initiative Study were released.

Innovative Directions in Health, lead by Khalid Mahmud, M.D., F.A.C.P. stresses both "internal anti-aging" and "external anti-aging" management through individualized assessment and programs.

Dr. Mahmud has practiced medicine in the Twin Cities for more than 20 years. He is board certified in internal medicine, hematology, and oncology, and served as chief of medicine at North Memorial Hospital in 1982 and 1983. He joined the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) in 1996.

Facial LipoSculpture is a procedure that Dr. Mahmud has perfected and leads the nation in. Facial LipoSculpture is a non-surgical fat reduction technique that involves micro-injections to break down and remove fat in an artistic manner to restore youthful looks to a face. It is an evolution of LipoDissolve originally developed in Europe however; the technique for Facial LipoSculpture is unique and developed by Dr. Mahmud.

Our results from the procedure have been outstanding, even with just 1 treatment. It reduces jowl areas, corrects the double chin, minimizes folds on the sides of the nose and mouth, corrects sunken eye appearance, enhances check bone appearance, and tightens the skin.

With one treatment, you can see a dramatic difference. In addition there is no pulling, stretching, nipping, or tucking. Most importantly, there are no artificial looks!

There are no other non-surgical products or procedures that could provide results like Facial LipoSculpture. This procedure is revolutionary and changing lives, opening up new doors to people who don't want to go under the knife to obtain results similar to cosmetic surgery.
