Edit Prevention is Key

<p><strong>Prevention is Key</strong></p> <p>If your first consultation occurs <strong>early enough in your aesthetic journey, many issues are </strong><strong>preventable or easy to treat</strong>. If you wait the typical 2 to 10 years to muster the necessary courage, you might miss out on the low-hanging fruit, the preventable and easy-to-treat issues.</p> <p><strong>The Holistic View: Health Span</strong></p> <p>In my initial aesthetic consultations, I always start with a <strong>general overview of the health span </strong>question. My philosophy is: “<em>Why fix a line or a shadow when the person is slowly harming </em><em>themselves with their lifestyle and daily habits?</em>” As a medical doctor, I believe it is my responsibility to briefly touch on these topics, enabling my patients to reflect on how they’re doing in this regard.</p> <p><strong>UV/Sun Protection</strong></p> <p>Through my practice, I’ve noticed how massively <strong>patients underestimate the importance of </strong><strong>sun protection and the severity of the damage</strong> that UV rays can cause to their skin and appearance, not to mention their risk of skin cancer and melanoma. Therefore, I always discuss sun protection during the initial consultation, so it’s something important that someone can learn about sooner rather than later – imagine the extent of sun damage accumulated over the years while gathering the courage for a consultation.</p> <p><strong>Importance of Daily Skin Care Routine</strong></p> <p>Another significantly underrated topic is daily skin care. Some patients don’t have a routine at all, while others use ineffective products. Understanding the basics of high-quality skincare, what constitutes a good product, and what exactly one needs based on their skin type, problems, and goals are crucial.</p>
