Looking Young &
Youthful
Almost everyone wishes to look young and youthful.
Billions of dollars are spent by men and women towards achieving this. This
page looks at the concept of staying young and youthful, and provides various
web resources and references that can help you in staying / looking young
& youthful.
The simplest way to think about looking young is to
consider the various parts that constitute your body. Amongst these, it is
obvious that the outer part of the body is what matters when it comes to
looks (nobody knows if your heart misses a few beats, for instance!)
Thus, the solution to the question of looking young is to
find a solution to making each of the main exposed outer parts – the face,
hair, the neck, your hands, your tummy, your feet etc. – look young and
youthful.
So, let’s consider each one in this section of Billion
Dollar Questions site
This page – like all the other pages at BillDoll.com, The Billion Dollar Questions
Site - is a work-in-progress and stuff will get added regularly.

Hair
Lots of dark hair signifies youth.
While there are ways to prevent the onset of grey hair (in
many cases, not all), it is difficult – if not impossible – to reverse grey
hair (see BillDoll section on Can Greying
of Hair be Reversed?).
In the case of baldness too, unless your baldness is
genetically induced, hair fall and consequent baldness can be prevented or even
altogether avoided in many cases.
- Dark
- Plenty of hair
- Links
Eyes
Fresh-looking eyes, with soft and smooth skin underneath
signifies youth.
- Fresh-looking eyes

Healthy Looking Body, Arms & Legs
Lean and mean looking arms and legs signify youth.
Ears
Though not exactly a contributor to youthful looks, do a
bit of work on your ears could make you look more pretty / handsome.
Body Weight
If you are obese, that alone has the potential to add 10
years to your age! Banish obesity now.
Agile Movements
- Your movements can also make you look younger or older.
Throw away the walk like a slouch; Let your head be straight, and have
an easy but steady gait.
- Look people in the eye
Agile Mind
- There are many people who are perceived to be young
though they actually might “look” physically old. The difference between
appearance and perception is a result of these people having an agile
mind. Agility of mind could be because of brilliance, versatility or
having a fun mind with a good sense of humour.

New Medical Methods
While regular exercises for the various parts of the body
(as well as for the mind!) is one the best and cheapest methods to maintain a
youthful appearance, medicine can come to your help as well with the
following types of products and solutions:
- Minimally invasive facial surgeries - A minimally
invasive medical procedure is defined as a procedure that is carried out
by entering the body through the skin, body cavity or anatomical
opening, but with the smallest damage possible to these structures.
- Injectable fillers
- Hyaluronic Acid Derivatives (e.g., Restylane®, Perlane®)
- these are quite well-tolerated
- Hydroxyapetite Gel (e.g., Radiesse®) - A good choice
for the face, but probably not for some other parts such as the lips
- Sculptra
- Collagen
- Thread lifts - May be useful for isolated, shorter-term
treatment of the aging face in younger patients in their 40s
- Information on Minimally Invasive Plastic Surgery from New
York University Medical Center
- New limited-incision facelifts
- New wrinkle fillers
- Anti-aging skin-care strategies
- New antioxidant strategies
- Non-invasive Procedures / Products
- Examples of products are Botox®, Restylane®, Radiesse®,
Thermage® and Titan®
