Doctor Answers: Medical Aesthetics Questions

Q: Are dermal fillers permanent?

Most modern dermal fillers are temporary and biodegradable. Permanent fillers are generally avoided due to long-term risks.

Q: Why do some faces look overfilled?

Overfilled faces occur when facial limits are ignored and fillers are repeatedly applied without proper reassessment. Every face has an anatomical tolerance. Ethical treatment means knowing when to stop.

Section A: General Medical Aesthetics

What is medical aesthetics?

Medical aesthetics is a medical field focused on improving appearance using non-surgical, evidence-based treatments performed by physicians.

It aims to enhance skin quality, facial balance, and healthy aging without dramatic change. Treatments such as Botox, fillers, and regenerative therapies require anatomical knowledge and medical judgment.

Who is qualified to perform medical aesthetic treatments?

Section B: Botox

Is Botox safe?

Yes, Botox is safe when administered correctly by an experienced physician using correct dosage and anatomical technique.

Botulinum toxin has decades of medical use. Complications are rare and usually linked to improper application.

Does Botox freeze facial expressions?

No. A frozen look is caused by overuse or incorrect placement.

Properly applied Botox allows natural facial movement while reducing excessive muscle activity.

At what age should Botox start?

There is no fixed age. Treatment depends on muscle activity, skin condition, and individual facial dynamics.

Age alone should never determine Botox use.
