Let’s talk about aesthetic treatments
Driven by a growing sense of wellness and self-care – particularly among younger demographics – interest in medical aesthetics treatments is at an all-time high today, according to the results of a global study.
The findings of the study conducted by Allergan underscore this trend, with 68% of those surveyed saying taking care of how they look and feel are important components of daily activities which encompasses activities like work, volunteering, and running errands. Notably, the study highlights that more than half of consumers worldwide are open to exploring non-invasive aesthetic procedures like botox, injectable fillers, and laser treatments.
Because – why not?
The allure of these procedures lies in
- How affordable they are compared to surgical procedures
- The minimal recovery periods
- Reduced risk of complications
- How quick it is to administer the treatment
- The immediate visible results
When it’s so quick and easy to remove hyperpigmentation with a few zaps and get rid of lines and wrinkles with a few injections – indeed, why not?
But well, it's crucial to pause and consider the potential ramifications over the long term.
Take botox, for example. The results last for a few months before the lines and wrinkles return when you smile, laugh, or frown and people are often encouraged to schedule a repeat session every 3 - 4 months to maintain best results. Studies have shown that prolonged and particularly high-dose usage of botox can cause long-term damage to the muscles, rendering them unable to function normally or even facial distortion in some cases. In addition, this atrophy or weakening of the muscle might make the underlying veins in their faces more visible.
And lasers – even the most gentle of treatments harbour risks when administered wrongly by an improperly trained aesthetician, such as skin burns and heightened skin sensitivity.
There are gentler, more natural alternatives with results that last
