The legendary film director/producer duo of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are often considered to be Hollywood royalty. Together, Howard and Grazer have made highly successful movies such as A Beautiful Mind, Rush and The Da Vinci Code, and their latest creation is of a scientific nature.

The Age of Aging is a film that is broadcast as part of Breakthrough, a new National Geographic Channel series. It so happens that Howard and Grazer are very interested in anti-aging therapies, a topic that they believe is very controversial but worth exploring. Writing for the Los Angeles Times, film journalist Scott Collins explains:

Howard believes that his new TV film can illuminate the scientific advances, particularly in genetic research, that some doctors think will slow down aging and greatly extend human lifespan in coming years. But the tale is not without the kind of drama that can lure a director of scripted narratives.

Grazer and Howard move in Hollywood circles, which means that they likely run into people who have gone through anti-aging therapies that are not normally available in the United States. Looking younger has become a secretive industry in and of itself, and one secret many people are not aware of is that Costa Rica is a major destination for anti-aging therapy seekers.

According to the respected CostaRicaMedicalGuide.com, an online compendium of information for medical tourists in Costa Rica, anti-aging treatments are available and affordable in Costa Rica, where therapies can be found at a fraction of the U.S cost, and with a very high level of service and quality.

Medical tourism in Costa Rica is very popular, especially for people who want to look and feel younger. Cosmetic and plastic surgery in Costa Rica are some of the more popular elective procedures. While many people choose surgery to improve their appearance, others are choosing to look younger with anti-aging therapies in Costa Rica that are non-invasive and involve no surgery.

Many anti-aging treatments in Costa Rica involve hormone replacement and plasma therapies. These treatments are highly personalized; no two patients will undergo the exact same treatment.
