Longevity medicine aims to keep you healthy for longer, not only to treat illness once it appears. At Charisma, longevity care starts with measurement: how fast your body is ageing and where your risks are. From there, doctors build a plan using nutrition, lifestyle, IV and regenerative therapies, hormones and aesthetic care.
Why Choose Charisma for Longevity Care
- Testing before treatment — biological age, blood panels and body composition.
- Two structured assessments — the Epi Age panel and the VIP health profile.
- One team, many tools — IV therapy, NAD+, peptides, HRT, stem cells, exosomes and aesthetic medicine under one roof.
- Free OligoScan assessment — with IV therapy programmes.
- Programmes for women and men — matched to life stage.
Epi Age Test: Measuring Your Biological Age
Chronological age is the number of years you have lived. Biological age reflects how your body is actually ageing. The Epi Age test analyses epigenetic markers, chemical tags on your DNA (DNA methylation) that change with age, lifestyle and environment. The result estimates your biological age and the pace at which you are ageing.
What the Epi Age Test Tells You
- Biological age vs calendar age — whether you are ageing faster or slower than expected.
- Pace of ageing — useful for tracking change over time.
- Starting point for a plan — guiding which interventions to prioritise.
How the Test Is Done
A simple sample, usually saliva or blood depending on the laboratory, is collected in clinic or at home. Results take a few weeks and are reviewed with your doctor.
VIP Profile: Comprehensive Health Assessment
The VIP profile is an in-depth health check designed for busy professionals and anyone who wants a full picture of their health in one programme.
What the VIP Profile Includes
- Doctor consultation — history, lifestyle and family risks.
- Advanced blood panel — blood count, metabolic, liver, kidney, lipid, thyroid, hormones, vitamins and inflammation markers.
- Body composition analysis — muscle, fat and visceral fat.
- OligoScan — minerals, trace elements and heavy metals.
- Personalised report and plan — reviewed in a follow-up consultation.
Additional tests such as DNA panels or the Epi Age test can be added.
Biological Age vs Chronological Age: Reading Your Results
A biological age higher than your calendar age suggests factors such as inflammation, poor sleep, stress, insulin resistance or nutrient deficiencies may be speeding up ageing. A lower result suggests your current habits are protective. Either way, the value comes from what you do next.
Your Longevity Roadmap
- Nutrition and metabolic health — diet, blood sugar and weight.
- Sleep and stress — practical routines and, where needed, medical support.
- Movement and muscle — strength preservation as you age.
- Targeted therapies — IV vitamins, NAD+, peptides or HRT where indicated.
- Skin and appearance — aesthetic treatments that support healthy ageing.
Retesting: Tracking Progress
Repeating the Epi Age test and key blood markers every 6 to 12 months shows whether your plan is working and helps adjust it.
