I found the information for this blog post from the American Society of Aesthetic Surgery website www.surgery.org and although, not an indepth review, it has very important information that you might find useful.

Aging can be a progressive
decline in mental and physical ability,
accompanied by an increase in susceptibility
to chronic disease. Humankind has long sought
ways to slow or retard the aging process.
Given the vast number of aging baby boomers
in our society, the relevance of anti-aging
medicine looms ever larger. Are the effects
of aging inevitable? Taken in the broadest
and most positive light, anti-aging medicine
is an extension of preventive health care.Technique:

Anti-aging medicine incorporates the realms
of biochemistry, biology and physiology,
and utilizes elements from the fields of
sports medicine, molecular genetics, nutrition
and mind/body medicine. Hormone levels begin
to decrease by the mid-thirties, and hormone
replacement therapy is a popular, though
controversial anti-aging technique, specifically
human growth hormone (HGH), DHEA, testosterone,
progesterone, estrogen and melatonin. Oxidative
stress reduction is another technique: Natural
metabolic processes as well as environmental
toxins lead to the formation of free radicals,
electrically unstable molecules that damage
DNA and protein; antioxidant formulas are
prescribed to combat free radicals, creating
a healthier balance between free radical
production and antioxidant defense. Other
primary natural tools against aging are
rest, exercise, and stress control techniques.
Plastic surgery is the surgical arm of the
field of anti-aging medicine.

Benefits:

• Anti-oxidant vitamins
  have few negative side effects and have
  shown a wide range of health benefits.
• 10 million American
  women are undergoing estrogen replacement
  therapy—a form of “anti-aging”
  therapy that is widely accepted and substantially
  effective.
• Emphasizes tried and
  true approaches such as good nutrition
  and exercise.
• Metabolic typing is
  also useful—the process of profiling
  an individual’s unique metabolism
  in order to prescribe maximally effective
  supplementation and other treatments.

Other Considerations:

• Magic elixirs do not
  exist. There is not much science behind
  much so-called anti-aging medicine. There
  has been no dramatic new breakthrough
  in anti-aging medicine. Most drugs and
  approaches have been in clinical practice
  for at least 10 to 30 years.
• The Institute on Aging
  of the National Institute of Health urges
  caution in the use of “anti-aging”
  hormone supplements.
• All substances should
  be taken only under the guidance of a
  physician who is properly grounded in
  traditional medicine.
• Beware of anti-aging
  organizations with specific products to
  sell. “Immunity boosters” and
  “glandulars” may be without
  known therapeutic benefits.
• ok for current scientific
  information in peer-reviewed journals.
  Currently, anti-aging is not a recognized
  medical specialty, so beware of self-designated
  experts or organizations.
