I am not against aesthetic medicine , not at all: obviously I am talking about “good” aesthetic medicine, which brings improvements and does not change the connotations of the face and body, which I personally contrast with “bad” aesthetic medicine which deforms and exaggerates faces and bodies to create those “new monsters” that we know well and that carry round breasts like balloons, swollen lips like tank tops and cheekbones as big as apples.
As we know our skin (and in particular that of the face on which we focus our attention) is the result of a mix of genetics (what we carry in our DNA: look at your mother and you will probably understand how you will be in a few years and how will be your skin), wellbeing (the care we have of ourselves at 360 degrees: movement, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, and other factors), environment (if we live in a very polluted environment, if we work outdoors or indoors), nutrition(what we eat); we must not only nourish, moisturize and maintain our skin using specific treatments suitable for showing skin, but we can also correct any defects (which can be wrinkles, brightness, elasticity).
Aesthetic medicine must be beauty and harmony
So let’s forget the effects of “bad aesthetic medicine” and think about the effects that some aesthetic medicine treatments bring, of which Sharon Stone (the first Hollywood star to do so) started talking directly, putting her face to the #proofirl campaign .
“It is well known that the beauty industry tends to present us with extreme looks and altered images, and it is difficult to trust the results of beauty treatments just by looking at an image. Follow me and I will show you that natural results are possible with AspireAesthetics fillers ” said Sharon Stone.

Beauty must in fact be first of all well-being, it must improve a face and not transform it; this is why Sharon Stone is the perfect example of testimonial to this healthy approach to aesthetic medicine, and “normalizes” a situation of lack of information; we think that only 7% of patients interested in aesthetic medicine then access an aesthetic treatment: this is because most of them have those “monsters” I mentioned at the beginning and fear completely unnatural results.
The aim of aesthetic in Belfast is instead to get to see each other for how they feel : for this reason it is important to always use high quality products (i.e. supported by clinical studies and with a safety profile proven by experience) and to contact aesthetic doctors. ( do not go to the beautician in your house if you want to use these treatments which are still medical treatments and if you find non-medical personnel who offer to do them, you should know that it is illegal, prohibited by current legislation in United Kingdom ).
The two approaches to aesthetic medicine
When we talk about aesthetic medicine, basically we are faced with two types of approach : the corrective one and the curative one. Each of the two then corresponds to a specific product to use.
CORRECTIVE APPROACH (filler). Aspire Aesthetics fillers are designed to improve facial features, from the targeted and superficial filling of wrinkles to deeper infiltrations for the definition of contours or specific areas. The effects and benefits of the filler last, depending on the skin, the treated area and the specificities of each person, from 5/6 months to 12/18 months, so to maintain the effects the applications must be repeated periodically. These are treatments that can be used at any age (after consulting a doctor of course).
CURATIVE APPROACH (Skin booster). The Aspire Aesthetics Skin Booster aims at skin rejuvenation and is designed to hydrate the skin and improve its structure and elasticity. The application of Skin Booster follows a precise medical protocol and the improvements in the quality of the skin of the face, neck, hands and décolleté are clinically proven.
Since many of my readers are mothers or want to become mothers, I remind you that it is not recommended to undergo treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding.
Hyaluronic acid, what it is and which one is used in aesthetic medicine
Both filler and Skin Booster from Aspire Aesthetics use a hyaluronic acid which is almost identical to that naturally present in the human body.
Hyaluronic acid is one of the most versatile substances in nature and performs numerous functions, including that of giving elasticity and firmness to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar and is a naturally occurring substance in many organisms.

Aesthetic treatments are not the solution to all our problems: always remember that skin care depends on many factors, and aesthetic medicine becomes part of a holistic process of well-being and self-care at 360 degrees.
Good habits for our skin: what to do
We always remember that aesthetic medicine, the good one, does not promise and does not work miracles. It is therefore good to follow some good habits for our skin, in particular that of the face:
- Remember to moisturize your skin using treatments suitable for your skin. The daily beauty routine must follow three phases:
- cleansing, ie facial cleansing; even if you don’t wear make-up, always cleanse your skin, both in the morning and in the evening, to remove traces of smog, dust, pollution, pollen, dust;
- hydration: apply the cream / serum suitable for your skin on the skin;
- Photo protection: nowadays most face creams already contain sunscreen inside them, but if this is not the case it would be a good habit to apply a sunscreen every day, even in winter.
- good food hygiene is important : eat well, healthy, and varied;
- it is important to move , it also benefits our skin;
- Try to avoid or counteract skin stressors such as smoke, pollution as much as possible and keep stress under control.
- use a photo protection and in any case do not expose yourself to sunlight in the hottest hours of the day or (even) without protection
