Now more than ever, there are more people seeking non-surgical aesthetic procedures.
There are, however, a lot of myths, misconceptions and misinformation that are doing the rounds that may be dissuading people from treatments they may otherwise benefit from.
In this blog, we’ll be addressing these misconceptions and myths in order to help you to make accurate and informed decisions about your potential treatments.
Reality: It is important to keep in mind that anyone can potentially benefit from aesthetic procedures.
However, aesthetic treatments can benefit people of various age groups. Treatments like chemical peels, microdermabrasion, dermal fillers, and laser therapy can address issues such as facial asymmetry, poor jawline development, acne, pigmentation, and irregular skin tone in younger individuals as well.
Reality: Botox and fillers are a temporary treatment. Regular maintenance sessions are generally required to sustain the desired outcome.
Reality: Aesthetic medicine is not limited to women. Aesthetic medicine is literally for anyone. What is essential is that you have a detailed examination by a well-trained doctor, to ensure the treatment is made bespoke to you.
Reality: While aesthetic procedures can enhance your appearance, they are not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle. It is essential to exercise regularly, maintain a balanced diet and ensure you have good skincare habits.
Sun protection and avoiding smoking are also crucial for skincare. Aesthetic treatments should be viewed as complementary to a healthy lifestyle rather than a replacement.
Reality: While there are few complications following these procedures, you must seek a highly trained doctor to perform these injections.
The rules are poorly written, especially around Dermal Filler and Botox injections. Please ensure your doctor cannot just perform the injections but can deal with any possible complications in the rare instance these do occur.
As the field of aesthetic medicine continues to evolve, it’s important to ensure patients are well informed. By debunking some of these common myths, we hope to provide a clearer understanding of aesthetic treatments, their benefits, and their limitations. Remember one size does not fit all, and what may work for a friend may not be what you need.
