So, for example, Botox, hyaluronic acid, mesotherapy and lasers are applied internationally by many specialties, however, the aesthetic results of specialized Dermatologists are clearly superior and for this reason, the demand for this particular specialty in medical aesthetics operations is particularly high. On the other hand, due to the economic crisis we are going through, there is a decrease in the number of aesthetic procedures performed, but also a decrease in prices, not only in the context of competition, but also as a modern necessity.
Here I would like to dwell a little more because it concerns the readers who should be especially careful and not be tempted simply by the low prices, because there is a risk of being deceived by sacrificing the quality and duration of the result. Therefore, those who are interested in performing such an aesthetic medical procedure should do a market research, bearing in mind the following parameters:
Training of the doctor: We choose the right medical specialty and ask to be shown the required training certificates. Such applications internationally are primarily performed by trained Dermatologists and secondarily by the corresponding Plastic Surgeons, medical specialties that can guarantee a successful aesthetic result. Consequently, it is disappointing and at the same time dangerous for the safety of the patient to perform the above actions by paramedical and generally untrained or insufficiently trained personnel.
Quality of the applied material: We pay attention to the country of origin of the applied material and avoid third world countries which, although they ensure lower costs, nevertheless their products do not have safe quality control mechanisms (health, content of active substance, safety of inert substances) and are associated with increased rates of complications and a short duration of effect.
What costs less? Pay more for the initial application with longer lasting results and no complications, or pay less per application – and cumulatively more money – given that more sessions will be needed to maintain the same result, or even worse, have the stress and cost of dealing with any complications. Imagine a scary but now real scenario.
Application of treatment by an untrained doctor with poor quality materials! Be careful because these kinds of opportunities are often advertised online. In conclusion, in aesthetic medicine “you get what you pay for” The method of fractional laser hair removal (fractional laser) is quite well known and particularly popular due to the short recovery time and good efficiency.
It is used to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. Also, the results for the reduction and disappearance of surface wrinkles, acne scars and some discolorations are very good to excellent. Recently, the same technology has been adapted to radio frequencies in addition to lasers with the aim of reducing the recovery time even more and maintaining, at least at the same levels as the laser, an aesthetic result as well as reducing any side effects. Provided, of course, that the operator of the machine is trained and the device is reliable with certificates.
