“According to one research by Allergan Aesthetics 90% of people worry about their physical appearance, 57% want to improve the quality of their skin because healthy skin is skin that conveys well-being and health. And again: 37% of those interviewed spend from 4 to 12 hours a day on video calls or in any case connected to the computer and 25% of the selfies posted on social networks have a filter applied. The dull complexion, the uneven texture, the dyschromias, have become the new indicators of health and well-being “. So at time.news Salute theexpert in dermatology and anti-aging treatments Chantal Sciutoon the sidelines of the presentation to the press of new Center of Excellence in Romethe first and only space in Europe and Canada entirely dedicated to the theoretical and practical training of aesthetic doctors.
The latest trend recorded in recent years, especially during the pandemic, concerns the growing attention to the appearance of one’s skin: seeing oneself on a monitor every day (for work and for leisure), the constant increase in the use of social channels and of photographic filters, has increased the desire to have a face with an even complexion and luminous skin. “There is a renewed attention to the quality of the leather because in fact there is greater awareness of well-being – explains Sciuto – we see ourselves more in the mirror, we look at ourselves more in the monitors and we are always looking for the right filter, the right light and therefore all this has put the even those that are the corrections that patients came to us to make. Today we are looking more for healthy skin because healthy skin is still beautiful skin”.
During the “pandemic we have recorded in patients a new awareness that starts right fromneed to improve skin quality – underlines the dermatologist, who is also a member of the Italian Society of Dermatologic Surgery – the constant contact with our image, increasingly mediated by the monitors of our devices, in front of which we spend hours on video calls, has led us to come to terms with the characteristics of our skin. Not to mention the harmful effects of ‘blue light’ emanating from computer and smartphone screens”.
Skin care passes “through a complete approach that includes the treatment of the deepest layers to reach the epidermis – underlines the expert – We must consider that the quality of the skin on the face is affected by various factors: elasticity, laxity and level of hydration. However, there is still little knowledge on the part of patients of the opportunities that aesthetic medicine offers in the field of skin quality. Potentially everyone who enters a studio needs a deep hydration treatment. The challenge today is no longer correcting a single wrinkle but moving on to a broader approach that enhances the overall well-being of the face”.
According to the expert Laesthetic medicine “is an ally for our skin. Today there is a 360-degree global evaluation that we are able to cover with the use of products that stimulate and improve the pillars of our skin’s architecture: tone, elasticity and luminosity with products based on hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite that they stimulate the production of collagen giving turgidity and elasticity to our skin”.
“Today, Allergan Aesthetics’ approach to improving skin quality is complete because it integrates Juvederm* Volite, the hyaluronic acid-based injectable solution that helps improve skin hydration and elasticity, with HArmonyCa*, the latest generation hybrid injectable launched a year ago, which favors the improvement of skin architecture and laxity. A combined and integrated approach to improve the quality of the skin of all those who need it”, concludes the expert.
