How do we know anyone "stopped" their aging? We know it's not hard to be de-aged (Rumple has made the offer a lot, and we've seen it done a few times); maybe Regina takes a daily dose of De-aging Dust.
I mean the reason Regina (And EF people) is so old is because of the curse which stopped everyone aging, though some de-aging dust would explain Seraphina, Fendrake and why Regina/Zelena/Emma/Hook are so young in the FB’s of S7.
The Dark Curse places everyone in stasis. That stasis is broken when Emma comes to town. How do we know? Nobody has aged and Ashley remains preganant.
Blue transformed Jiminy and (key word: and) halted his aging process. As the Dark Curse reverts magical transformations, Jiminy returns 50 to 60 years later the same age. The Dark Curse doesn’t deage people that aged naturally.
Do fairies age? Yes. Otherwise, the aging powder would have no affect. This could be due to the Dark Curse reverting them to be “human”. How could this be justified? Take Blue out of the equation. We have a human become a fairy and by all accounts lives tens of thousands of years in a realm of accelerated time flow and not age a day. It stands to be the case that fairies might not age, but when “turned human” is when they are susceptible to age.
Wish Hook’s situation is unique and lacks enough information. However, it stands to be pretty much leaning towards: He was made young physically. What proof is there besides him living? Well, he shows no signs of old age without pain or whatever bumbling mental capacity he had before. Another ten years go by and he appears to be roughly the same. If he’s at least 60s in 7x01 (which is a stretch), he should be 70s by the curse. Could this be abusable? Maybe (as the writers don’t really think things through), but it may not as “how often do you get fresh blood from your younger self?”. The Dark Curse also didn’t revert this. If it was a glamour, it would be gone. Aging spells aren’t always active, but a glamour would have to be.
I’d argue that stasis is often used in other “non-aging” forms of magic. The Sleeping Curse keeps your body in stasis forever. The Preservation Spell keeps your body as it is when cast. The Dragon Eggshell had something that preventing aging/the effects of aging, whether it was temporary stasis or rejuvenation.
As for people using other methods to stay you g: I guess.
The writers pretty much let any magic user handwave a lot of stuff. Most spells you can handwave or craft in a potion or some ritual but...why? What determines which you do? Nobody knows.
Merlin does potioncraft and incantation to create a tethering spell. Zelena looks at it and just waves her hand.
Gideon has a spell to repair Hrunting. He uses one ingredient listed (blood of the smith who forged it). Since Blue has magic and blood apparently is magic, it steals her magic to reforge the sword.
Have we not seen the fifty thousand locator spells? Wave a hand. Wave a hand plus an object. Potion A, Potion B, ritual A, Ritual B.
I’d bet that those mages that seem to love beyond their normal lifespan surely have not aged, rather than glamour. Though, one would think they would have more ageless, young witches, but they don’t.

Oz was frozen in time during the Dark Curse.

Why was Oz frozen? Cora put her corner of the Enchanted Forest into suspended animation. Arendelle was frozen by Ingrid. We know that the Dark Curse could affect other realms like how Frankenstein was taken to Storybrooke. But Regina had no connection to anyone in Oz, at least none that she knew about. Why would she freeze it?

It just affected all the realms, Cora protected her corner but the freezing is just a part of the curse.

To add,
The time stop affected all realms. Cora simply protected that corner of the land from being taken to Storybrooke.

That’s what I was trying to say but thanks for saying it better.
