Co-founder of PayPal and initial investor in Facebook, Peter Thiel knows where to put his money and has an eye for what will be successful that much is clear. But now, his eye has drifted over to the biotech world, and once again, the money is rolling in.

According to MIT Technology Review, Thiel is now focused on defeating aging, an area of medicine he says is structurally underexplored.

Biotech has become cheaper and easier, so there is more probability for quick success making investments more reasonable for someone like Thiel. But he still understands the gamble at hand and seems to have a clear understanding of what hes getting into. As the Technology Review explained:

Most of Thiels biotech investments have been made by his charitable Thiel Foundation. But at least four biotechs have received funding from his venture capital firm, Founders Fund, including Cambrian, Emerald Therapeutics, and Stem CentRx, which has an antibody drug in clinical testing for lung cancer.

To Thiel, the biotech industry suffers from a structural problem. Companies have to spend tens of millions developing drugs that might work but might not. Theyre not really sure, because biology is so unpredictable and complex. Most companies are very heavily invested in the unpredictably paradigm, he says. But when you treat it as a lottery ticket, both the participants and the investors have already psyched themselves into losing. A small probability times a big payoff normally equals zero.

Thiel says hes not looking for companies that plan to gather empirical evidence, but instead would like those who have a theory that can systematically be put into practice. One example is Counsyl, a genetic testing company that Thiel has put $17 million in since 2011.

At the time, scientists were hyping the idea that DNA could tell you the risks for common diseases like diabetes. Instead, Counsyl created an inexpensive, highly automated, and consumer-friendly way to test for rare disorders whose inheritance patterns are well understood. In fact, they follow Mendels theory, first elaborated in the 1800s.

Counsyls tests are now used in connection with more than 3 percent of U.S. births, and the private company is valued at around $1 billion. It is one of Silicon Valleys unicorns, those rare runaway successes that Thiel often seems to be involved with.

According to Technology Review, Thiels additional interest in anti-aging strategies includes him taking daily growth hormones and currently being signed up for cryonic freezing.

The way people deal with aging is a combination of acceptance and denial, he says. They accept there is nothing they can do about it, and deny its going to happen to them.

Peter Thiel has turned to biotech, specifically focused on anti-aging

One of the many challenges of a dermatologist is when a patient asks for her skin to be restored to almost the same texture as a babys behind. With the availability of laser technology and advancements in science such demand is no longer impossible, especially with a skilled doctor.

We regard excellent skincare as an alliance of expert knowledge in aesthetic medicine, cutting-edge technology, and a genuine interest to improve the quality of life of patients, says Dr. Kyla Talens, whose expertise is laser treatment.

Dr. Talens understood the unpleasant impact of physical flaws on the human psyche at an early age. Growing up, she experienced firsthand the heavy emotional burden brought about by different skin issues such as scarring, severe acne, and pigmentation, among others. This fueled her drive to seek the best ways to improve peoples self-concept through physical enhancement.

COST-EFFECTIVE CHOICE

In her newly opened clinic Skin Philosophie Medical Aesthetic and Lifestyle Solutions located at The Fort Strip, Bonifacio Global City, in Taguig, she treats patients with a ground-breaking laser resurfacing technology with little or no downtime.

As we age, the skin begins to appear loose and to form deeper folds and drooping bulges as skin sagging ensues. At Skin Philosophie, we use the ultra-modern Palomar Lux 1540 Non-ablative Fractional Erbium Glass Laser, which tightens the skin and eliminates fine lines and deep folds. The machine delivers an array of high-precision microbeams to repair damaged tissue by coagulating the deeper layers of the skin and stimulating natural collagen and elastin production to improve the skins tone and texture. Its the cost-effective choice for skin resurfacing with faster healing and with little to no downtime, too, she explains.

To achieve faster results, Dr. Talens suggests coupling the laser treatment with non-invasive Face and Neck Intra-Therma Sculpting, which delivers focused radiofrequency (RF) energy that reaches the deeper layers of the skin. It helps improve the appearance of aging skin by contouring the face and neck while smoothing out problem areas like deep nasolabial folds and Marionette lines, bulging jowls, ill-defined jawlines, and turkey neck, among others, she expounds.

There is already a visible improvement right after the treatment. And the great news is that there will be continuous skin tightening and lifting in the succeeding weeks to a few months as collagen remodeling takes place. In addition, the effects last long enough that the treatment is done only once or twice a year.

In the case of nasolabial folds, which run from the sides of the nose down towards the corners of the mouth, and Marionette lines, which are lines that run from the corners of the lips downward towards the sides of the chin, dermal fillers can also be injected to make the facial contour smoother. Now, with the availability of a wide range of anti-aging procedures, patients can undergo non-invasive face lifting and contouring.
