The Youth Corridor: Your Guide to Timeless Beauty

by Gerald Imber

For the last twenty years, celebrities, social and business leaders, public figures and fortunate individuals from around the world have sought the services of Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. Gerald Imber. Through his years of studying the skin's aging process and working with thousands of patients of every age, Dr. Imber has become convinced that it is possible to maintain youthful good looks throughout life often without the help of surgery. In The Youth Corridor, the celebrated surgeon offers the first organized system to help readers live agelessly without the aid of invasive procedures.The revolutionary program presented in The Youth Corridor is structured around what Dr. Imber calls the "Youth Corridor"--the twenty-five year period in which physical changes can best be managed and controlled. According to Imber, it is between the ages of 30 and 55 that much can be done to keep one virtually unchanged. The Youth Corridor presents specific routines designed for each age group which will allow readers to tap into the extraordinary potential of this 25 year period. The youngest reader will learn the latest and most effective routines to prevent aging, while more mature readers will learn how to undo the damage already done and adopt new strategies to control and reverse the signs of aging. Along the way, Dr. Imber, describes the biology behind the aging process, in easy-to-understand terms so readers feel informed and ready to act.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I was a bit disappointed by this book. I started reading it with a notebook next to me, ready to jot down notes and get to shopping. Unfortunately, it seems the book is just filled with big words and not a lot of substance. What did I write down? “Alpha Hydroxy Acids.” Bummer. Only one section really interested me, at the end where he broke down skin care routines by ages. But what was said I already know, either from online, or what my best friend (a clinical esthetician) tells me. It also tells us not to run, never to have a second portion at dinner, and to cut out desserts entirely. Ouch. I was hoping for a book to help me better myself, not just turn to Botox, surgery, and be miserable and hungry.
