Most common questions about aesthetic medicine

Is aesthetic medicine even necessary? Does it solve the problem of aging? You will find answers to these and many other questions in this article.

Recently, we have received several questions regarding the sense of aesthetic medicine. We have decided to answer them honestly and thoroughly in order to increase awareness about aesthetic medicine.

Is aesthetic medicine the same as plastic surgery?

Aesthetic medicine is a related field to plastic surgery, but they are not the same. Aesthetic medicine is considered to have started in 1973 when the French Society of Aesthetic Medicine was established. However, beauty treatments have been known to humanity since ancient times. Procedures like bathing in goat's milk or using rose petal masks to maintain youthful and firm skin have been practiced for ages. Aesthetic medicine involves non-invasive or minimally invasive medical procedures. On the other hand, plastic surgery involves highly invasive procedures, often full surgeries performed under general anesthesia.

Will aesthetic medicine prevent aging?

Aging is a process that affects everyone, and it cannot be completely prevented. Aesthetic medicine procedures can effectively delay this process or even partially reverse it, but they cannot stop it. If someone promises that you will look 10 years younger after one treatment and the effect will last forever, be aware that you may be deceived! While it is possible to achieve a rejuvenating effect of 10 years with carefully chosen treatments, the body's cells are constantly renewing. Some cells are born, others die, and to effectively delay the aging process, one must regularly undergo anti-aging treatments.

Do aesthetic medicine procedures make sense then?

Absolutely. If you think, "I will age anyway, so why delay it," consider this: is it worth bathing if you will get dirty during the day? Is it worth cleaning if it will get messy again? Indeed, it is worth it. Aesthetic medicine procedures help maintain the body in good condition and health. Yes, health. Stimulated natural processes in the body, such as collagen production or hyaluronic acid, not only rejuvenate you but also allow tissues to function healthier. Did you know that aesthetic medicine procedures are often the same procedures used in orthopedics, dermatology, and even space travel? For example, in orthopedics, a common procedure is injecting stem cells or platelet-rich plasma, and the BeautyTek device was created for astronauts returning from space.
