Generally, most newly regenerated Time Lords appeared physically younger than their preceding incarnations, ([[TV]]: {{cs|Doctor Who (TV story)}}, {{cs|Utopia (TV story)}}, {{cs|Death of the Doctor (TV story)}}) so much so that the [[First Doctor]] assumed it to be the natural result of regeneration.

([[TV]]: {{cs|Twice Upon a Time (TV story)}}) Indeed, the [[Scrolls of Gallifrey]] claimed that [[Rassilon]]'s [[face]] grew younger when he experienced the [[Rassilon's first regeneration|first regeneration on Gallifrey]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Legacy of Gallifrey (short story)}}) with the [[Tenth Doctor]] once telling [[Rose Tyler]] that regeneration was an alternative to ageing. ([[TV]]: {{cs|School Reunion (TV story)}}) However, this was not always the case; the "dashing young" [[Eleventh Doctor]] was dismayed to find that he would become the "old" [[Twelfth Doctor]], with his [[companion]] [[Clara Oswald]] remarking that the new Doctor did not look "renewed". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Deep Breath (TV story)}}) However, the Eleventh Doctor had aged considerably, to the point that he was on the brink of dying of [[old age]], when he was enabled to regenerate, though he was able to briefly "reset" to his youthful appearance before the change of appearance. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Time of the Doctor (TV story)}}) Following her second regeneration, [[River Song]], formerly [[Mels Zucker]], observed herself to have a "mature" appearance.
