The Beauty Society

Everyone wants to look beautiful – don’t you?

You would guess so by noticing the extent to which many people go to enhance their outward appearance. From moisturising your skin to liposuction, there are plenty of ways to beautify yourself. Most of us want to look younger, and many men and women seek treatments to this end. Youthful skin is usually smooth and free of blemishes. Babies and young children have not yet been affected by sun damage, pollution or stress, therefore their skin appears fresh and natural. This is the ideal many people seek to attain and there are various modern techniques to achieve the ideal: anti-ageing cosmeceutical products, facial rejuvenation treatments, and non-surgical facelifts are some of the repertoire available.

A positive mental attitude supported by a healthy lifestyle can invigorate anybody who pursues youthfulness. What you put inside shows on the outside, so a healthy diet is a great way to enable your good looks by giving your body the nutrients it needs to keep your skin soft and smooth. If the elements of life have impacted on your appearance and sense of wellbeing, you can embark on the road to self improvement. It is important to consult and be treated by a professional team of experts.

A first step would be to receive a consultation with a skin specialist who can analyse the current status of your skin. Advice can be given on which factors may be impacting on your healthiness and recommendations made with regards to the care regimes which are most appropriate to your specific needs. There is absolutely no point in strolling into your local shop and picking up an experimental set of products, simply on recommendation from a television advert or magazine cutting! Cosmeceutical products are recommended because they have cosmetic as well as medicinal or drug-like benefits. These products are prescribed through medical spa outlets and are beneficial to you because they contain biologically active ingredients which are not usually found in traditional cosmetics. Professional analysis and prescription are the keys to skin health restoration and without these you are simply gambling.

A beauty therapist uses grooming techniques such as professional and semi-permanent make-up, manicures/pedicures, waxing, medical microdermabrasion, massage therapy, endermologie, lymphatic drainage, intense pulsed light/laser therapies and non-surgical procedures to improve your overall appearance.

An aesthetic nurse is a qualified specialist nurse who has had further training in non-surgical therapies which are geared towards improvement of your overall wellbeing. They work hand in hand with dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other medical professionals using techniques such as injectables (Wrinkle smoothing injections, dermal fillers, lifting agents), laser therapies, intense chemical peels, colonic hydrotherapy, anti-ageing and medical prescription managed therapies.

A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specialises in the physiology and pathology of the skin, hair and nails. Their experience covers a wide range of systemic conditions which might manifest as common skin problems. They would also play a role in devising bespoke or tailored treatments formulated for specific conditions which cannot be treated by ‘off the shelf’ products.

Beauty is inside and outside, natural or cosmetically enhanced.
