Is aesthetic medicine just “aesthetic”? The impact of aesthetic medicine on health [column]

Aesthetic medicine is often associated with correcting body imperfections. But is that really the case? What impact do such treatments have on health?

Cosmetic medicine, as the name suggests, deals with the appearance of the body. However, the appearance of the body is often closely related to its health. As I mentioned in a column on body positivity [link], excess body fat is often associated with various conditions such as metabolic problems or even excessive stress on joints due to increased body weight. But what about other issues that can be addressed through cosmetic medical procedures?

Take, for example, Botox. We usually associate it with smoothing wrinkles, but it is also used in conditions such as hyperhidrosis, bruxism, or even in treating mimetic habits. (You can find more information about Botox [here])

This is just one example, and there are many more that could be mentioned.

But what about anti-aging treatments? Few people know that their action is usually based on stimulating NATURAL processes in our body and improving the functioning of cells, with rejuvenation being a kind of side effect of the procedure.

For example, a treatment like BeautyTek, about which you can find a lot of information [here], involves restoring the correct physicochemical potentials in tissue cells. This leads to firming and rejuvenating facial skin, neck, body firming, and even visible lifting and firming of the breasts, but the basic action of this treatment is to restore and stimulate cellular balance, and thus the health of cells in the treated tissues.

Similarly, this applies to mesotherapy with stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, or any other anti-aging treatments such as laser therapies, Dermapen, and other procedures.

Sun-induced skin discolorations can increase the risk of skin cancer, so removing them has a beneficial effect not only on our appearance but also on our health.

The key to achieving the desired effect is always restoring the proper functioning of cells, thus impacting health. This is something we often forget. We tend to think that such procedures are only about aesthetics, but in a professional cosmetic medicine clinic, health always comes first. This is exactly the case at the Ambasada Urody network of clinics in Warsaw. If you want to take care of not only your appearance but also keep your health in mind, be sure to seek the help of experienced professionals.
