The Subtle Side of Aesthetics - How Not to Take it Too Far

Aesthetics is about being unnoticeable. Some people don't get the memo. The issue is that there are so many treatments available, and people turn into kids in a candy shop. And just like a kid in a candy shop, too much of a good thing can make it bad. Below, we'll show you how not to take it too far.

Embrace Your Natural Beauty

First, appreciate and accept that you are beautiful just as you are naturally made. That's the movement at the minute - we understand why some people don't want to accept it. There's so much competition, and social media has definitely made us more aware of our flaws. And we get that people have things they would love to change about themselves.

But, with embracing natural beauty in mind, aesthetic procedures should be aimed at improving what you already have rather than changing how you look entirely. People take it too far when they go above and beyond to change their appearance.

Choosing the Right Treatments

Embracing your natural looks doesn't mean you can't have anything done - it just means you shouldn't go too far from your natural look so it doesn't even seem like you.

Go for procedures that give natural results with minimal invasion. For instance, Botox may smooth wrinkles and fine lines, but this should be minimal to avoid looking frozen. Facial harmony and proportion should not be compromised. There's a big trend online at the minute about facial harmony.

A PDO thread lift is an excellent option for those who want to tighten or lift sagging skin without surgery. These bio-absorbable fibres stimulate collagen production, providing a natural lifting effect.

Always Consult Experts

A professional cosmetic surgeon or aesthetician should always know what to do and not be afraid to tell you you're taking it too far - the best ones will outright refuse to provide the treatment.

Professionals will know which treatment suits you and guide you on how much is needed for each procedure. Just like in any other business relationship, trust matters here.

Stay updated through regular meetings with them so that your look appears as natural and even as possible.

Beware of Trends

Trends come and go in aesthetics, but once changed or damaged, they can hardly be reversed. Although there is always a temptation to join in any new beauty fad, it is essential to determine its long-term impact on you.

Usually, timeless enhancements offer the most appealing and enduring outcomes - trendy ones are only good for a short time. Instead of just following trends that may not suit everyone's face, prioritise therapies that enhance those features that are true to you. Again, a professional should know which one is right for you.

The subtle side of aesthetics is about enhancing your natural beauty in a way that is refined and understated. Remember that great aesthetic procedures make you feel confident enough without showing you've had anything done. Don't get caught up in changing yourself more than you need to.
