Hygiene in aesthetic medicine

With help in situations when we want to take exceptional care of ourselves comes aesthetic medicine. A science on the borderline of cosmetology and plastic surgery, not as intrusive as the latter. And although still a significant number of people associate aesthetic medicine with very invasive measures, in fact there is very little or even no invasiveness.

The procedures performed always take place without the use of a scalpel, nor do they require general anesthesia (sometimes local anesthesia is desirable) and a prolonged and uncomfortable convalescence. Since aesthetic medicine is largely based on using the skin's ability to regenerate itself, the procedures performed as part of it are not only safe for health, but also carry no risk of disfiguring scars or other side effects.

Should aesthetic medicine be feared?

Although aesthetic medicine is a relatively new branch of medicine, it is developing extremely rapidly, as more and more people decide to take care of their youthful appearance by reducing the appearance of aging signs on their skin. A doctor of aesthetic medicine helps to individually select a package of treatments, so that they will not only be safe, but also bring the most spectacular results. The professional approach also increases the comfort of the patient, who puts his body in the hands of a specialist with peace of mind.

Among other reasons, the use of aesthetic medicine should not be a cause for concern, because the results obtained as a result are natural and not exaggerated. Since the most fashionable look nowadays is natural, the aim is not to change facial features, but to remove unwanted defects such as hyperpigmentation, excessive hair or acne. Even people with a relatively low pain threshold should not be afraid of the procedures performed, as the skin can always be superficially anesthetized to make the comfort of the person undergoing the procedure as high as possible. Aesthetic medicine is also a choice for the impatient, as the results are visible much faster than in the case of standard cosmetic procedures, often immediately after leaving the office.

What does aesthetic medicine give us?

The main task of aesthetic medicine is to rejuvenate and improve the quality and condition of the skin. Here you can act not only preventively, but also by reversing changes that have already occurred in the skin. Thanks to the use of state-of-the-art technology, it is possible to get rid of unsightly dark circles under the eyes, thicken the skin or improve the oval of the face. However, you can act not only on the face, as aesthetic medicine allows you to fight cellulite, spider veins or stretch marks.

Aesthetic medicine treatments

One of the most commonly performed aesthetic medicine procedures is needle mesotherapy. It involves making a series of tiny punctures in the treated area to shallowly administer active substances, such as hyaluronic acid or platelet-rich plasma. As a result, the skin becomes moisturized, tightened and smoothed, and skin tone is also improved. This treatment is recommended for fighting cellulite, wrinkles or stretch marks.

It will be great for people who care about anti-aging prevention, as well as those whose aging process is already more advanced. Depending on the needs, mesotherapy can be applied only to a selected part of the skin or more comprehensively.

Often, the surgeries' patients are also women whose biggest dream is to enlarge their lips. This is because nowadays the most desired effect is a natural look and a subtle enhancement of beauty, so the amounts of hyaluronic acid administered with a cannula during the procedure are really negligible. Another option, giving an even more natural effect and much longer lasting results, is filling the lips with one's own fat, a procedure that is also gaining popularity. Regardless of the method chosen, lip augmentation is a very common choice among patients undergoing the procedure, as it allows to dissolve the complex of too-small lips and has a real effect on improving well-being.

Botulinum toxin, or the popular Botox, is no less popular behind the doors of surgeries. Thanks to its relaxing effect on the muscles, it allows to eliminate wrinkles, while being a safe and almost completely painless procedure. In addition to its typically aesthetic qualities, botox is used to treat migraines, bruxism and hyperhidrosis, among others. The effect of botulinum toxin appears just a few days after the procedure and lasts up to 6 months.

Botulinum toxin works by blocking the connections between nerves and muscles, which impairs their ability to contract. Since botox is inserted into the skin with an extremely thin needle, the procedure is virtually painless, and also lasts an extremely short time, making the discomfort felt by the patient truly negligible. After the procedure, you can also immediately return to your daily activities, which is extremely convenient. The recommendation is to limit, for a period of several hours, bending, lifting and heavy physical exertion.

Ultrasonic liposuction

In addition to young and smooth skin, an equally common dream is to have a slim and firm figure. Unfortunately, there are times when, despite the introduction of a healthy diet and physical activity into the daily routine, resistant fat refuses to disappear.

Ultrasonic liposuction comes to the rescue then, making it possible to fight fat locally. While this procedure is not indicated for general overweight, it is ideal for body contouring. It involves inserting an ultrasound-emitting cannula through small incisions in the skin, resulting in the liquefaction of fatty tissue. The areas most commonly treated with this procedure are the chin, waist, abdomen, thighs and even the arms. The advantage of ultrasound liposuction is comparable effectiveness to that of traditional liposuction, with, however, a much lower risk of complications involving damage to blood vessels, muscles or nerves.

Micro-needle radiofrequency

In the fight to preserve youthful skin for as long as possible, micro-needle radiofrequency is also widely used, which stimulates the skin to renew itself in two ways, by heating it and by mechanical damage that occurs through a series of micro-punctures. In this way, we help the skin deal with scars, stretch marks, wrinkles and loss of firmness. With the ability to customize both the temperature and depth of the punctures to the individual patient, the treatment deals with specific skin problems in a targeted manner that is extremely effective.

Its undoubted advantage is also that, unlike laser treatments, it can be performed all year round, including in summer, and it is also much less invasive. After the procedure, you can immediately return to daily activities, the skin is slightly reddened, and the delicate prick marks disappear after a few days. For best results, the treatment is applied in a series of 3-5 radiofrequencies performed 30 days apart.

Aesthetic medicine - summary

As can be seen from the data quoted above, aesthetic medicine is by no means a field of science to be feared. Choosing a proven specialist will not only allow us to enjoy the treatments in complete safety, but will also bring complete satisfaction.

It has been known for a long time that people who feel good and confident in their bodies are able to transfer their positive energy to other areas of life as well, being successful in their professional and private lives. So it is worth making a gift to yourself from time to time and simply take care of yourself.

The body will repay you not only with healthy-looking and smooth skin, but also with a better mood. Looking in the mirror every morning and admiring the effects of the treatments performed, it will be nice to smile at the satisfied self visible on the other side. Let's remember that no one will take care of us as well as we take care of ourselves, so it's worth taking advantage of the options available today, and try aesthetic medicine as well.
