Abstract

Non-surgical cosmetic procedures have been undertaken for a number of years. It is fair to say that, in this time, there has been a notable difference in the way that treatment plans are approached by practitioners. This is most prevalent in more recent years, when the decision to treat patient concerns in isolation has moved to a holistic, full-face approach, taking into account not only the key concern that has brought the patient to a clinic, but other significant issues that may require carefully addressing, such as overall skin health and quality.

‘Healthy skin is a reflection of overall wellness’

It is reasonable to suggest that the days of treating a patient wrinkle by wrinkle and line by line are almost behind us. Long gone are the days of only having two tools in the box: toxins and dermal fillers. Industry research, knowledge, training standards and expert support are now available in abundance to modern-day medical practitioners. Perhaps this means that now, more than ever, medical aesthetic practitioners are able to adequately support their patients with the concept described in the quote above. By treating skin concerns both directly and indirectly, and by taking into account a patient's skin concerns from a holistic level, advanced patient and skin assessment is possible. As well as physically assessing the skin, it is also vital to fully understand the patient's motivation for seeking treatment to further understand which products and treatments are safest and most appropriate for the patient.
