→Overview: I still think I infer to much with a small tangent about a burly circus performer over 200 years young, described to have no juvenat defects to a mild surprise of the narrator
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}}
On the other hand, to the wealthiest there is an availability of gene therapies, skeleto-muscular grafts, implants, skin underweaves, transfixes, and stem-splices. The extreme juvenat treatment can replace the entirety of the body of a subject with mineral bonding and bone grafts to reconstitute a new skeleton, resleeved in a musculature gene-copied from the subject's code, reinforced with [[plastek]] weaves and polymers, with all organs replaced with similarly gene-copied transplants. Those individuals were known to indisputably maintain their prime appearance, sometimes even considered looking better than when they were the age they appear now.{{Fn|4}} 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 while the simple reliance on precise reasoning isn't posited the individuals known for this technology they maintain a healthy lifestyletrait lead physically demanding active lifestyles, which might be causative to the scarcity of such an effecton the wider populace.{{Fn|5}}
Even with access to the treatment, some people keep parts of their aged self, like grey hair or slight droop to the cheeks,{{Fn|6}} the lack of those vanity enhancement is outside a selected few nobles apparent mostly in rejuvenated officers.{{Fn|7b}} Some more spineless individuals are viewed by less privileged to purposefully alter their appearance for the aim of obfuscating their innate slimy expressions with those considered approachable, though it's a matter of conjecture.{{Fn|3}} Juvenat treatments are known to work on some [[xenos]] like the [[T'au]], who can reach otherwise impossible age of eighty, albeit with definitive deformation with parchment like skin and the definition of their body hanging mostly on bones.{{Fn|7a}}. While they are effective at greatly expanding one's life, they ultimately fail to prevent eventual death.{{Fn|8}}{{Fn|Note 1}}
