Busting The Myths About Cosmetic Treatments

When you think of them, you must be picturing duck lips & a poker face. But there’s so much more to it. You have a right to make a decision regarding every aspect of your body, and your face is one such feature. Know that cosmetic treatments, including anti-wrinkle treatments and facial fillers, are done to correct or enhance your features so that you may feel confident in your skin.

Isn’t that a valid reason? 

So if you want such a treatment and live in Perth, you might be wondering, “Is there a bulk billing medical centre near me?” Yes, there is - Hale Road Medical.

Now, let’s cut to the chase and bust the myths:

Myth 1: Fillers are for the elderly

We agree that most facial fillers and anti-wrinkle treatments reduce the effects of ageing and even enhance facial features. But people across all age groups get these cosmetics treatments done for one reason or another. So, let’s understand this and stop being ageist.

Myth 2: Fillers don’t look natural

This is not always the case. If you hire an experienced and qualified professional, it won’t be so. These experts have been carrying out these procedures for years together and so, are skilled in making it all look natural.

Also, make sure that you ask these experts to show you some before and after photos of the procedures they’ve done so far. If you have any concern, voice them out so that the aesthetician can personalise the treatment accordingly.

Myth 3: Fillers restrict the facial muscles

Injectable aesthetic procedures give volume in sullen areas to enhance or correct (if you’ve had an accident or a mishap etc.) your features. They don’t completely change how you look altogether.

The other thing is that they would make you look more youthful. Just make sure that you do not tamper with the injected area for about five days after the treatment.

Myth 4: Cosmetic treatments require a lot of maintenance

Yes, you do need to keep up with the consultations, but not as often as you may think. The number of appointments depends on the type of fillers you get done and the places where the fillers are injected. In fact, in some cases, these cosmetic treatments go on for as long as two years before you need to book another appointment.

Myth 5: Cosmetic treatments are very expensive

Then there’s the money factor. Though at a glance, these might seem costly but considering that these are one-time treatments and last long, the investment is worth it.

Myth 6: Liposuction is an easy way to lose weight

This is a big misconception. Liposuction is recommended to those who have not lost weight despite following a healthy diet and doing exercise daily. Genetics could be a reason why.

Myth 7: Breast Augmentation Is a Solution For Droopy Breasts

As implants tend to add to the existing volume, these alone may further aggravate the sagging of the breasts.

In addition to or instead of breast augmentation, women having saggy breasts must consider getting a breast lift. It reshapes the prevailing breast tissue so that they look firmer.

Myth 8: Botox & fillers are interchangeable

Though you inject both of them into your face, each serves a different purpose. While botox reduces wrinkles, fillers add volume - two very different solutions. Also, fillers work wonders in the area below the eyes, and botox works great in the area above the eyes.

Myth 9: It is difficult to breastfeed with breast implants

As breast implants are put under the breast tissue, women who need to breastfeed face no problems during breastfeeding. However, we recommend women have breast implants placed either before or once they have children. In this way, the entire process will be as smooth as possible.

Now that you have all this newfound knowledge, get that cosmetic treatment you’ve been waiting to get done by the qualified experts at Hale Road Medical.
