We are living in a world where it is possible to choose the way we want to look. With the latest advances in medicine, pharmaceuticals, and technology we can achieve what could have only seemed like a dream a century back. It is an undeniable fact that we love the idea of never aging. Not in terms of appearances, but also physiologically. There is evidence of potions and elixirs been used ages back by royals and emperors. Chinese medicine has their own history of antiaging measures, beliefs so strong that they have found a permanent place in their cultural rituals. The Indian Ayurveda goes back to over a thousand years and the beauty and agility tips and tricks are part of every Indian Household. The rise of Cosmeceutical world in the nineties and early 2000s opened the world to a sea of opportunities in field of beauty and wellbeing. All the ancient knowledge has been reborn.
We have ginseng extracts available to wipe off wrinkles and Chemical peels that gently exfoliate the skin and experienced surgeons with new techniques and state of art equipment. You could literally bring a picture of your favorite celebrity and ask for a makeover. And there is something so brilliant yet worrisome about this. Aesthetics has been a boon in the medical industry for years. It has changed lives of so many who have gained their confidence back after accidents, traumas and in case of congenital deformities. People have claimed their lives back and resumed to normalcy thanks to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. Surgeons, research scientists, data analysts are working tirelessly to come up with new techniques, materials, and protocols to be utilized for more desirable, fulfilling, and long-lasting outcomes.
But Aesthetics also has a shadow to it which has given rise to this entire culture of “perfect”. Social media and ease of access to Aesthetics whether invasive or non-invasive has left more people trying them out. The reasons for these procedures could stem from genuine need, wanting to fit in or even just not having enough. Perfection is a subjective concept. But when golden standards are placed in front of you, the bar raises higher. Young girls are scrutinizing their bodies in their bedroom mirrors. Young adults are pointing out at images of celebs saying, “I am going to get that jawline”. It may slowly be deceiving us to believe that our lives depend on this and that we as ourselves are not enough.
Everything is legitimate in moderation and when inculcated in lives judiciously. Though it is hard to live in a world where you are judged by the standards of your appearances, it is important to remember that you by yourself are enough. It makes sense to seek professional help for actual issues like skin disorders, functional deformities, and deep-rooted insecurities. Aesthetics is an answer. Though it is not the only answer. It is important that we support and accept each other with our flaws. Our flaws make us unique.
For everything else, we at Aesthetica Clinic are here to support you. Here is how to share your concerns and expectations from your Aesthetic Expert.
