#VerseBien #SentirseBien<br />
#LookGood <strong>and</strong> #FeelGood<br />
Feeling good <strong>and</strong> looking good are<br />
both very important. Helping people<br />
#LookGood <strong>and</strong> #FeelGood is a very<br />
satisfactory line of work. Many people<br />
seek consultation because of different<br />
signs of aging like wrinkles, deep creases,<br />
sun spots, skin laxity or sagging skin,<br />
even skin lesions. All of these conditions<br />
have different types of treatment options.<br />
Some people consult to look better, more<br />
competitive in the work field, or simply to<br />
improve their personal appearance <strong>and</strong><br />
look younger. It doesn’t matter the reason,<br />
treatment should always be focused on<br />
the condition that is more important for<br />
the patient since it will make them feel<br />
better about their appearance.<br />
The treatments, minimally invasive, like<br />
Botox, dermal fillers, platelet rich plasma, radio frequency,<br />
fractional dermabrasion, micro needling – Dermapen, among<br />
many others, provide short term results. Minimal side effects<br />
<strong>and</strong> excellent corrective effects make seeing these changes<br />
in the patient <strong>and</strong> how they enjoy them very gratifying.<br />

El #VerseBien y #SentirseBien son igualmente importantes.<br />
Ayudar a la gente a #VerseBien y #SentirseBien<br />
es un trabajo muy satisfactorio. Las personas consultan<br />
por diferentes signos de envejecimiento como arrugas,<br />
líneas de expresión, manchas, flacidez, incluso lesiones en<br />
la piel. Todas estas condiciones tienen distintas opciones<br />
de tratamiento. Ya sea que quienes consultan quieren verse<br />
mejor para ser más competitivos en el campo laboral o simplemente<br />
mejorar su apariencia para lucir más jóvenes. No<br />
importa la razón, siempre se debe centrar el tratamiento en<br />
la condición que para ellos es más importante, pues eso los<br />
hará sentirse mejor con su apariencia.<br />
Los tratamientos, mínimamente invasivos, como el Botox, los<br />
rellenos dermales, el plasma rico en plaquetas, radio frecuencia,<br />
dermabrasión fraccionada, micro agujas – Dermapen,<br />
entre muchos más, proveen efectos a muy corto plazo.<br />
Con efectos secundarios mínimos y buenos efectos correctivos,<br />
es muy gratificante poder ver los cambios en la piel de<br />
los pacientes y ver como disfrutan de sus resultados. El minimizar<br />
arrugas en la frente, el entrecejo y el contorno de los<br />
ojos o “pata de gallo” con la toxina botulínica, aumentar el<br />
volumen de los labios con los rellenos de ácido hialurónico,<br />
que da resultados inmediatos, siempre complace al paciente<br />
y al médico también. Otro excelente tratamiento, que es completamente<br />
natural es el uso de la grasa de su cuerpo como<br />
material de relleno para los surcos en la cara o incluso el<br />
dorso de las manos, rejuveneciéndolas.<br />
A pesar de que estos tratamientos son muy poco invasivos, es<br />
muy importante acudir donde un médico con el conocimiento<br />
y experiencia adecuados; que además tenga las características<br />
personales requeridas para centrarse en las necesidades<br />
y deseos del paciente. Saber escuchar al paciente, y poder<br />
comprenderlo, sus deseos, temores y expectativas es vital.<br />
Ofrecer un plan de tratamiento, a la medida de sus necesidades,<br />
asegura el éxito del proceso de rejuvenecimiento total<br />
de la persona, brind<strong>and</strong>o un resultado más natural y progresivo<br />
que lleve al paciente a #VerseBien y #SentirseBien ■<br />
Minimizing wrinkles on the forehead,<br />
frown lines <strong>and</strong> “crow’s feet” with Botox,<br />
volumizing the lips with hyaluronic acid<br />
dermal fillers that give immediate results,<br />
always please the patient <strong>and</strong> doctor as<br />
well. Another excellent treatment is the<br />
use of your own body fat as filler for the<br />
nasolabial folds or even the rejuvenation<br />
of the back of the h<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
Even though these treatments are<br />
minimally invasive, it is very important to<br />
look for a trained doctor with knowledge<br />
<strong>and</strong> plenty of experience, who also has<br />
the appropriate personal characteristics<br />
to focus on patient needs <strong>and</strong> desires.<br />
Being able to listen to the patient <strong>and</strong><br />
underst<strong>and</strong> their wishes, fears <strong>and</strong><br />
expectations is vital. Offering the patient<br />
a treatment plan, tailored to their individual needs, ensures<br />
the success of his or her total rejuvenation process, providing<br />
a more natural <strong>and</strong> progressive result making the patient<br />
#LookGood <strong>and</strong> #FeelGood. ■<br />
