Four questions to Dr. Bachelet
Dr. Bachelet, what are the fields of application of aesthetic medicine?
Aesthetic medicine is a specialty with different objectives. It may involve improving facial aesthetics, harmonizing the face, or treating the after-effects of skin aging. Overall, these approaches all aim at bringing balance and well-being to the patient, both physically and mentally.
How do the patient and physician discuss the appropriate solution?
There are two main stages in the exchange between the patient and the doctor specialized in aesthetic medicine.
- On the one hand, the doctor will perform a rigorous analysis of the facial architecture.
- On the other hand, he/she will attach great importance to a precise understanding of the context, the requests, and the expectations. He must also carefully consider the possible complications and risks. To do this, he will ask in-depth questions.
These two conditions guarantee that the patient will receive a targeted and tailor-made solution. The patient also receives a fee estimate before any surgical procedure is performed. This is part of the checklist for choosing a surgeon.
What techniques are used in aesthetic medicine?
Aesthetic medicine treatments are mainly based on transcutaneous injections. The products used have different virtues depending on the patient’s request and the indication given by the doctor.
Among the most commonly used techniques, we can mention botulinum toxin (botox). It relaxes the hyper-contracted areas around the eyes, the forehead, or other areas.
Another very common product is hyaluronic acid (filler), which fills in unsightly wrinkles and hollows that are already present or that appear with age.
These therapeutic solutions provide fast, reliable, and reproducible results.
They also have the advantage of being naturally absorbable.
Facial rejuvenation surgery solutions under local anesthesia can also be offered for specific indications in order to provide a lasting result. These include eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) and ear surgery (otoplasty).
Why work at ARDENTIS clinics?
ARDENTIS clinics are establishments that specialize in the treatment of oral aesthetics. In fact, they are probably the most competent clinics to take care of all aspects associated with dental aesthetics, in this case, the harmony and aesthetics of the face within the framework of a global and harmonious result.
ARDENTIS clinics are also open to all patients without distinction and provide a specialized medical team as well as the most advanced technical resources. Finally, these technical resources are combined with two principles of excellence: the permanent search for improved results through quality control and the implementation of continuous training. The patient is thus at the center of our concerns, with priority given to his or her comfort.
It is this quite natural that we wished to develop our complementary activity together.
