'''Juvenat'''{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}{{Fn|4}}{{Fn|5}}{{Fn|6}}, rarely named '''Juvenatus'''{{Fn|1b}} or '''Rejuvenat'''{{Fn|1c}} - any of a number of anti-ageing treatment used by the [[Imperium]] for the extension of [[human]] life, maintained primarily through the use of juvenat-drugs but supplemented with augmetic surgery to maintain the youthful look.{{Fn|1a}} Among the wealthy of the Imperial society it extends the lifespan to the point when being just shy of two centuries old is considered an early middle-age,{{Fn|2}} making it hard to distinguish a difference in human appearance in a range between 40 and 400.{{Fn|3a}}
The treatment is known to be able to replenish the entirety of a damaged body, for example if utterly annihilated in an accident, provided at least the brain stayed intact. Although it is noted that the recovery from such a state takes something between 2 and 3 [[terraTerra]]n years (9 [[fenrisFenris]]ian months).{{Fn|4}}
==Overview==
Among the cheapest and more widely available treatments, there are known practices of: plumping flesh with collagenics; filling creases and wrinkles with dermics, cleaning of eyes and organs, applying a skinweave that pins up the skin folds, resculpting of bones or permanent staining of a skin a tanned colour with nanotic pigments considered in the Imperium as presenting as a mark of health.{{Fn|4}} Multiple treatments on low budget can leave visible deviance from a natural youth, with overly tight flesh and skin too smooth and too monotone.{{Fn|3a}}

The extreme juvenat treatment can replace the entirety of bones or permanent staining the body of a skin subject with mineral bonding and bone grafts to reconstitute a new skeleton, resleeved in a tanned colour musculature gene-copied from the subject's code, reinforced with [[plastek]] weaves and polymers, with nanotic pigments all organs replaced with similarly gene-copied transplants. Those individuals were known to indisputably maintain their prime appearance, sometimes even considered in looking better than when they were the Imperium as presenting as a mark of healthage they appear now.{{Fn|4}} Multiple treatments People with less than the best access to juvenats are known to be able to present truly youthful, or at least not monstrously caricaturesque, if beyond the simple reliance on low budget can leave visible deviance from this technology they maintain a natural youthhealthy lifestyle, with overly tight flesh and skin too smooth and too monotonewhich might be causative to the scarcity of such an effect.{{Fn|3a5}}
