Dream hands: unique treatments for an unforgettable touch

March 18, 2024 Linda 89

The often neglected hands are our calling card, a reflection of our social life, and an essential means of expressing affection and relating to others. However, with time, the hands can show the main signs of aging such as wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of elasticity. Fortunately, thanks to advances in aesthetic medicine, you can defeat time and give your hands a young and bright appearance.

But why do hands age?

Advancing age affects all the cells of the human body, but the hands, constantly exposed to external agents (temperature changes, detergents, and mechanical scrubbing…), are particularly susceptible to cellular decay. The skin of the hands is very delicate and over time thins, highlighting blood vessels and bone structure, creating real depressions unexpectedly.

What can be done to rejuvenate the hands?

Hand rejuvenation treatments focus on three main objectives: reducing subcutaneous tissue loss, invigorating skin elasticity, plumping the wrinkles, and eliminating skin spots. These results can be achieved through a combination of exfoliating, regenerating, and restructuring treatments.

Skin exfoliation (peeling) of the hands

An aesthetic medical practice that uses chemicals that intervene on the surface layers of the skin, stimulating the production of new tissue rich in collagen, is chemical peeling, also called skin exfoliation.

Chemical peeling against age spots

Chemical peeling is an effective method against skin spots caused by melanic hyperpigmentation. This treatment offers a rapid depigmenting action, intervening in all stages of melanogenesis, and is particularly effective in reducing skin spots in any season.

Fillers and biostimulation

The fillers, injected into specific areas of the hands, break down the loss of subcutaneous tissue, reducing grooves and restoring firmness and softness of the skin. In addition, they stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin.

Are hand rejuvenation treatments lasting?

Although the treatments offer certain and lasting results, they are not permanent. To maintain the benefits, you need maintenance sessions that will need to be planned with your doctor.

The role of the face in the attraction: conquer at first sight

February 14, 2024 Linda 86

The importance of the face in the choice of partner is a widely discussed topic. Many believe that physical beauty plays a decisive role, while others attach greater importance to factors such as intelligence and success. However, recent studies suggest that the face could be the real protagonist in these relational dynamics.

The face: first impression and attraction

The face is the first thing we notice when we meet a person, and it plays a fundamental role in social interactions. Scientific studies indicate that several aspects of the face affect the degree of perceived attraction:

1. Face symmetry: Many people think that a symmetrical face is more attractive. However, further research suggests that symmetry may not be the only indicator of attractiveness;

2. Mediumness (prototypical): Similarity to most known faces seems to increase the attractiveness of a face;

3. Sexual dimorphism and hormonal markers: Facial characteristics related to sexual dimorphism, influenced by hormonal markers such as testosterone and estrogen, play a significant role in attraction.

Woman and man in visual attraction

Preferences in the face of the partner vary with the hormonal cycle of women; during the fertile phase, they prefer masculine traits for the best genetic quality, while in the other phases, they are more likely to choose less masculine faces, perceived as more reliable for long-term relationships. Men feel more attracted to women with high cheekbones, large eyes, and thin jaws. The attraction, however, not only concerns the shape of the face but also the appearance and health of the skin. This is why skinbooster represents an innovative method in the field of skin rejuvenation, helping to improve the texture of the face in a progressive and durable way.

Skinboosters: a natural beauty supplement

Skinbooster is a biostimulation treatment that uses non-animal hyaluronic acid stabilized, designed to maintain the three-dimensional structure of the skin. This specific type of hyaluronic acid integrates harmoniously with the deeper layers of the skin, bringing firmness to the dermal matrix. The skinbooster cycle is considered a real skin therapy aimed at improving and harmonizing the skin texture.

Lasting benefits and appreciable results

The obvious results of this treatment include a reduction in micro wrinkles and a decrease in the depth of the most marked ones. The skinbooster method is recommended for a wide age range, from 25 years up to 70, and can be applied to the face, neck, décolleté, and body.

Versatile applications and effective combinations

Skinbooster therapy is not limited to a rejuvenating action but can be used in different situations. It can be used as a preventive measure, or in the case of photoaging combined with other treatments such as filler and peeling, thus offering customized results according to the specific needs of each individual. After careful evaluation by the doctor, integrating skinboosters into the beauty routine will not only bring visible improvements to the skin, but represents a significant step to increase self-confidence and attractiveness.

The face plays a fundamental role in the relational and attractive dynamics. The conscious practice of aesthetic medicine is therefore a very precious ally.

The Role of the Face in Attraction: Captivating at First Sight

The importance of facial expressions in choosing a partner is a widely debated topic.

Versatile applications and effective combinations

Skinbooster therapy isn't just a rejuvenating treatment; it can be used in a variety of situations. It can be used as a preventative measure, or in cases of photoaging, combined with other treatments like fillers and peels, thus offering personalized results based on each individual's specific needs.

Aesthetic medicine among young people: a growing trend

November 29, 2023 Linda 87

The demand for aesthetic treatments among young people is increasing, both in Italy and in the rest of the world. This trend is due to several factors, including the increasing attention to social media, which exposes young people to images of idealized beauty, and the increase in attention to psychophysical well-being.

According to official estimates released by Sicpre (Italian Society of Reconstructive-Regenerative and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery), medical and cosmetic surgery treatments have increased by at least 20% in the last year (+67% compared to 2019 and +130% compared to 2020).

A study carried out in 2018 [1] found that 73% of Italian adolescents said they had used aesthetic treatments to correct the most common defects, such as acne, stretch marks, and scars. But there are also increasing requests for treatments to improve the appearance of the face, such as lip fillers and the rhino.

Ethical concerns

At a time when personal image is fundamental and has taken on a central role in everyday life, leading young people to seek solutions to improve it, this increased demand for aesthetic treatments among adolescents raises some ethical concerns, requiring the aesthetic medicine professional to be carefully and consciously assessed.

Psychological and emotional evaluation

The psychological well-being of young people is a key element. It is necessary to thoroughly assess the emotional and psychological state of patients, as well as their motivations.

An effective tool for this purpose is the DAS-59 (Derriford Appearance Scale)[2], which evaluates psychological difficulties and discomfort related to appearance, which consists in subjecting the patient to adequate counseling, divided into several sessions and involving, in some specific cases, even family members. This multidisciplinary approach is necessary considering the complex issues of risk-benefit assessment and decision-making of young patients.

The importance of ethics

From an ethical point of view, aesthetic interventions should not be overly invasive and distortive. Aesthetic medicine treatments should aim to improve the lives of patients, reducing the discomfort related to appearance and improving their psychological balance, favoring social, affective, and work integration.

Psychological and psychopathological aspects

Reflection on psychophysical well-being is of primary importance, especially in an age when appearance is often emphasized in social media. Aesthetic psychological disorders are increasingly common among young people, with a significant impact on their self-esteem and well-being. Therefore, the assessment of the patient's for beauty treatments is essential to ensure their peaceful social interaction.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while the relationship between young people and aesthetic medicine is changing significantly, aesthetic medicine professionals must approach it in a multidisciplinary manner, carefully assessing the motivations of patients and orienting themselves to improve their psychophysical well-being, rather than pursuing unrealistic beauty ideals.
