Why AGEs matter

AGEs are hidden markers of metabolic stress, offering insights beyond traditional lab values.

What are AGEs?

Hidden accelerators of aging

AGEs (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) form when sugars bind to proteins in the body. They build up silently over time, making tissues stiffer and less resilient. This accelerates visible aging and increases health risks.

Premature skin aging and loss of elasticity

Reduced vitality as organs work less efficiently

Higher risk of chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes, kidney disease, Alzheimer’s)

About AGEs

AGEs disrupt balance
and accelerate aging

AGEs accumulate in tissues, trigger inflammation,
and damage cells. They accelerate aging in both
organs and skin, reducing resilience over time.

The hidden impact

AGEs accumulate silently, long before symptoms appear

While small amounts are normal, excess AGEs
stiffen vessels, weaken skin and undermine
long-term vitality. All without obvious symptoms.

AGE Scanner

Science at your fingertips

The AGE Scanner uses the natural fluorescence of AGEs in skin tissue. A precise, non-invasive measurement captures this response and, via the connected app, translates AGE levels into your client’s biological age and an insight of their metabolic health.

Immediate results

Wake up call or reassurance?

For many, a biological age higher than their calendar age is confronting. This may serve as the wake up call needed to finally take responsibility and take action to improve their health.

Tailored advice

Tailor your advice based on a structured analysis of lifestyle

AGE formation accelerates with bad lifestyle habits. A structured walk through the various domains that impact AGE formation not only leads to better understanding but also to relevant and personalized advice.

Advice

The benefits for your clients

The AGE Scanner provides insights that motivate change and strengthen client engagement. Here’s how it adds value in practice.

Uncover hidden risks

AGEs build up silently in the body. One simple scan makes invisible damage visible, creating awareness and urgency.

Boost motivation

When clients see their personal results, they are more likely to adopt lifestyle changes and follow your advice consistently.

Show measurable progress

Follow-up scans reveal improvements over time, giving clients tangible proof that your therapy is working.

FAQ

How quickly will I see results with my clients?

AGEs build up gradually over many years. Once formed, they disappear only slowly. But the good news is that you can slow down the accumulation of new AGEs. With consistent lifestyle changes, improvements may be visible after 3–6 months and further progress often becomes clear over longer follow-up.

Yes. Scientific research shows a strong correlation between the fluorescent signal measured by the AGE Scanner and AGE levels confirmed in biopsies. Numerous studies consistently link AGE accumulation to premature aging and chronic disease. As with any biological measurement, small variations of around 5% may occur when repeated within a short time frame.

No, you don’t need medical training to operate the AGE Scanner. It is designed to be simple and user-friendly. A basic understanding of healthy aging and lifestyle, however, can help you explain the results more effectively to your clients.

That depends on your practice model. Some therapists charge a separate fee for each scan (often around 30–50 USD), while others include the measurement as part of a consultation or program. You decide what best fits your services.

The AGE Scanner helps differentiate your practice with a science-based approach. It can attract new clients, increase loyalty among existing ones who want to track their progress, and open opportunities for offering additional products or services that support healthy aging.
