It used to be that enhancing your looks through undergoing surgery. Well, times have changed since then and treatments too. At present, it’s all about Aesthetic Medicine in Dubai, which uses non-invasive medical techniques to transform one’s appearance using fast, safe, and virtually painless procedures within a short amount of time.
The concept of current aesthetic medicine can be captured in just one sentence: perfection, not transformation, is what we aim for. The best enhancements are those which can’t be identified. Your friends see you looking more refreshed and more “like yourself” – not like someone who has just undergone some kind of procedure. This is precisely why there is a difference between well-done medical aesthetics and overly aggressive aesthetic procedures that ruined the industry’s reputation a few years ago.
What Is Aesthetic Medicine?
Aesthetic Medicine is a field of medical practice aimed at improving patients’ appearance using minimally-invasive or non-invasive methods. It does not include any cuts, anesthesia or downtime. Procedures are performed by professional medical practitioners using highly-accurate methods based on the evidence.
The most common procedures include:
Botox
Botox is still the most in-demand procedure in the world of aesthetics – and there’s a good reason why. This injectable paralyzes muscles causing so-called dynamic wrinkles: frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet. Used correctly, it makes fine lines disappear without affecting the ability to make all possible expressions. The “frozen face” is never a result of Botox injection; it is a question of improper dosage and execution. Results are visible after several days and usually last up to three to four months.
Dermal Fillers
With ageing, the face starts shrinking and it will lose its volume: cheeks and under-eye areas become hollow, the area around the mouth becomes saggy, the lips lose their shape. To compensate for this effect, dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in our bodies, are used to bring back the lost volume treating these cells and muscles. With the help of this product, it’s possible to lift the cheeks, plump up the thinning lips, correct deep nasolabial folds and other wrinkles, contour the jaw line, etc. The effect is visible immediately after the procedure and lasts up to two years.
Skin Boosters
Sometimes the skin is just tired, dehydrated and lacks glow and elasticity; it can be rejuvenated by injections of hyaluronic acid into the skin to give it some moisture. The effect of this procedure includes improved skin elasticity and glowing complexion, which cannot be achieved with any cream. In the dry and sunny climate of Dubai, such injections are in great demand all year round.
Regenerative Therapies
The newest trend in aesthetics relies on regenerating treatments using the body resources to heal and renew the skin, thus improving its elasticity and reducing the signs of ageing.
Why Personalisation Is Everything
And here is a secret that every qualified aesthetic doctor must reveal to you – never treat two people in exactly the same way when it comes to their faces. Facial muscles, bones, skin, and aging processes vary from individual to individual. The things that make one face harmonious might ruin the other.
This is why every decent non-invasive aesthetic treatment starts with a comprehensive consultation. And at the OrthoSports Medical Center in Dubai, this consultation implies analyzing the structure of your face, identifying the process of your skin aging and, most importantly, hearing you out. The whole procedure is adjusted according to your face, not the trends.
Minimal Downtime, Maximum Convenience
Another very big reason for the success of aesthetic medicine in Dubai is the practical nature of the procedures. The procedures take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. No bandages are needed, no beds of recovery, and even no time off work. At the worst, there might be some temporary redness and swelling at the injection site that will clear up within hours or days.
Also, just as vital, there is the place. This is about medical procedures, and hence it must be done in a medically licensed environment. The reason behind all this is the fact that only in such environments does the procedure become safe and effective.
Prevention: The Modern Approach
Probably the most groundbreaking shift in modern aesthetics is the transition from correctional techniques to preventive ones. In other words, instead of waiting for wrinkles to become deep and for tissue loss to happen, people resort to less radical techniques, applying a bit of Botox before wrinkles get deeper, a little filler when there is still some plumpness in the face, as well as skin boosters in order to maintain moisture levels.
The outcome of the method will definitely be the most beautiful and natural one, as the treatment goes hand in hand with nature.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Will I still look like myself after Botox and/or fillers?
Yes, precisely for this reason. Contemporary aesthetics seeks refinement rather than radical transformation. Correct dosing and placement preserve natural expressions and make you look “well-rested” rather than “worked on”.
2. Is non-surgical aesthetic treatment safe?
Yes, when performed by professional medical staff in a legitimate clinic. Botox and hyaluronic fillers have been applied in medicine for decades now and, in addition, hyaluronic fillers can be reversed if necessary.
3. How long do the effects last?
Effects of Botox last about 3-4 months. Dermal fillers last between 6 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler and the areas injected. Skin boosters require maintenance procedures every couple of months.
4. Does any downtime occur?
No, just very minimal. Most of our clients resume regular activities right after leaving the clinic. Minor redness, slight bumps and bruises can appear but are gone in a day or two.
5. What age is suitable for aesthetic treatments?
It is not limited to any specific age. It is all based on individual needs and desires. Some clients start with preventive treatments already in their late twenties or thirties, whereas others start later to improve certain issues.
6. How do I pick the right clinic in Dubai?
By looking for a licensed medical clinic, skilled doctors, real before/after results and consultations focusing on your face anatomy, not pre-set treatment options.
