Non-surgical treatments
are becoming increasingly popular and despite the fact that I am a
surgeon, I am happy to see this development. There is no longer any
doubt that medical aesthetics has a very relevant and important place in
the aesthetics industry.
But
it is important to stress that surgery cannot be replaced by the
various Injectables and lasers. Similarly, the knife cannot achieve what
Injectables and lasers can.
While the Injectables, mainly Botox and Fillers
remain popular treatments (as they produce great results in the right
hands), technologies are ever evolving and there are now a wide range of
other treatments available.
Like
any market involving technologies, new products are being launched all
the time and the challenge for practitioners is to look beyond the
glitzy marketing and separate the good science from the bad.
I
am naturally inclined to be cautious and hence by default often not the
first on the bandwagon. Perhaps being financially risk averse partly
shapes that too. We have acquired a small number of aesthetics
equipments following careful research and I have been very pleased with
the results so far.
The Fractional CO2 Laser is
my favourite. It is great for skin rejuvenation: in addition to
reducing fine lines and wrinkles, it gets rid of pigmentation changes,
tightens the skin and generally improves the complexion.
