About the restoration desk
The future in the name is a question about maintenance, with room for both curiosity and impatience.
Why skin repair
I have more affection for repair than for the fantasy of a face untouched by time. Repair permits wear, interruption and unfinished work. It also asks practical questions about material: what is being made, what is being removed and how anything reaches the place it needs to be.
GHK-Cu gave those questions something concrete to work on. The collagen-synthesis finding in cultured human fibroblasts is small enough to describe without grand language, and the tissue-remodelling review makes the surrounding biology more complicated in a useful way. I admire that complication. A perfectly neat aesthetic story tends to lose my interest.
The restoration desk is the idea behind Future Face Aesthetics. It gives a future face material to think about, while leaving the fantasy of a finished, perfected object on the shelf. The work of sustaining tissue matters to me, along with the distance between that biological work and an observable skin result.
A publication with a point of view
Future Face Aesthetics is a personal publication about published research, not an aesthetics business. The name identifies this site; there is no practice behind it, no treatment service and no booking desk. A page on a screen gives me no means to assess anybody's skin, and nothing here is medical advice.
I enjoy the narrow experiment even when the broad conclusion disappoints. Those judgments can coexist. A finding becomes more useful when its boundaries are visible, and a disappointing gap can be a good reason to pay attention to the next experiment.
My particular impatience is with a future described entirely in adjectives. Better, younger, brighter: I would trade those adjectives for an unadorned measurement. That curiosity has limits of its own. These pages offer an argument about the research, with no assessment of what any person needs or what a treatment might do for them. The contact page records the present correspondence arrangements and the information a useful source correction would contain.
