Young skin at any cost? Valeriani: “Be careful, fillers and botox are not simple needle sticks”
Cosmetic surgeon's warning: "No to medical treatments in beauty centers". Here are the allies to combat wrinkles and other signs of aging of the skin
ROME – Everyone dreams of “forever young” skin. With the arrival of the beautiful season, even more people want to have a young face and relaxed skin. It is everyone’s dream, and today also that of many minors. There are numerous aesthetic treatments, but we must always remember that fillers or botox are not simple injections. You should only rely on professional doctors.
ONLY CONTACT PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
“Any medical treatment must be carried out in an authorized structure, such as medical practices and clinics – underlined Roberto Valeriani, specialist in reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery – Medical treatments cannot be performed in beauty centers: there are parameters to be respected, furthermorethe famous hyaluronic acid needles are still class 3 medical devices, therefore they must only be carried out by doctors or dentists< /strong>“. “Before any medical treatment – Valeriani specified – there is a preliminary visit and an informed consent which explains to the patient the type of treatment, the limits and possible complications. I repeat, they are not simple ‘pricks’ /strong>. You need to know how to do them, both for safety and for the desired result”.
FOR MINORS: AVOID EASY RETOUCHES, CORRECTIONS ONLY IF NECESSARY
So avoid those who offer ‘easy tweaks’. And for minors who want to approach these treatments, Valeriani strongly advised against starting “for aesthetic purposes only. If instead it were necessary to do so, for reasons of correcting congenital pathologies or the results of trauma, then always only with the prior informed consent signed by both parents”.
HERE ARE THE ALLIES TO FIGHT THE SIGNS OF AGING
Valeriani then concluded: “A healthy lifestyle, good nutrition and attention to sun exposure are, however, excellent allies of medicine and cosmetic surgery to preserve the skin from ageing”.
