of more than 8,300 respondents are considering non-invasive techniques to look better. The most sought after beauty features are relatively easy to predict since desirable features
are timeless: healthy, glowy, and smooth skin; beautiful, expressive eyes; high cheekbones, strong jawline, and full lips. But is it as easy as this? Can we go for this generalisation, do we all need the same? No, beauty is individual and it’s perception as well. The real artwork here is to capture individual needs, to fully understand our patients, to meet their expectations, and to customize any procedure. The best, most secure and not necessarily newest solution can allow us to achieve desirable, optimal results. ‘Indication-specific’ is the magic technical term
here: We have to assess our patients thoroughly. The diagnosis reveals the individual need and marks the individual indication for treatment. A concept based on the three pillars of regenerate, regulate, and reshape can help us address the needs in facial beautification. The most common problems affecting our ageing face are dull skin and pigmentary
changes, such as hyperpigmentation, as well as loss of shape and definition. Merging trends in aesthetic dermatology reveal there is a move towards ‘back-to-the-roots’, easy-to-perform, low-investment-cost procedures. Minimal seems to be the way to go, through the use of topicals, mesotherapy, microneedling, and, finally, non-surgical reshaping with fillers and resorbable threads, possibly with injection lipolysis, and rebalancing with botulinum toxin type-A not to be missed! To implement all of this, to make safe, aesthetically appealing, treatments
happen, we need the ideal doctor. We need the ethically correct, skilled, knowing, updated, trained doctor. That’s what we are here for: to share knowledge, to bring medical sciences of the future. Welcome to the 13th

VERYONE TAKES SELFIES. THIS CURRENT OBSESSION WITH SELFIE photos marks just one way of how important our external appearance is perceived to be. Already, young children begin to play with their perfect, cool, and beautiful image. In adults, those close-up shots can reveal little imperfections. Filters might be helpful but we want the real-life look, we all want to look natural but beautiful. The stigma of ‘having something done’ is a
