Aesthetic medicine and harmony

Aesthetic medicine and harmony

We attach a lot of importance to our physical aspect; sometimes this can translate into a more or less explicit refusal of aging. We can then perceive aesthetic medicine especially as a therapy of renovation.

Aesthetic medicine arises in Paris in 1973 from Dr. J.J. Legrand’s intuition that an individual is healthy when he is in accordance with his own physical and mental aspect. It’s an integral part of some traditional medical rules that it applies, with extreme scientific rigor, for both diagnosis and therapies. It involves a constant respect for the health understood as absence of disease, but, especially, as psycho-physical balance and beauty. Aesthetic medicine wants a healthy individual, who feels comfortable with his look. It’s a preventive and corrective medicine; its purpose should not be intended in the sense of “renovation”, because every age has its aspect, but of restoration of functions disturbed by emotional stress, by one’s behavior, by the years which wear off one’s body.

It is possible, for example, that the daily work in front of the computer increases disproportionately the wrinkles of our forehead. Aesthetic medicine intervenes to harmonize the aspect of our forehead with the rest of our face. On the other hand, if we expect a generalized renovation of the latter, we risk to force the hand to the doctor, thus being disappointed.

To put it bluntly, if we are in our forties, it’s easier, for aesthetic medicine, to give us back a well-balanced and pleasant aspect, than to make us look as we were in our late twenties.
