What is Hyaluronic Acid?Hyaluronic Acid is a very common substance, you might find hiding on the labels of some of your skincare products as HA. But it is actually naturally occurring in the human body. The substance works as a magnet for moisture, helping your cells retain as much of it as possible so that your skin feels and appears hydrated, plump and healthy.Now for the science-y bit. Just a single gram of Hyaluronic Acid has the impressive ability to hold up to six litres of water. Add to that, a super smart ability to regulate that moisture within the cells, so as not to...

Mommy Makeover – A new beauty must-have or a need?

A miracle of the female bodyShortly after the birth of my little daughter, something happened to me that I had never known before. For the first time in my life I accepted my body with so much devotion (even love) as it was.Three months after giving birth, I was marred with all the usual wounds of one who has brought a child into the world. Stretch marks on my thighs, a flabby, pockmarked belly, breasts that ached from all the milk my little one gulped down in large portions, and a still-sensitive scar from the C-section.But at that time I felt really good; maybe even more...

Perfectly Imperfect – Does cosmetic surgery improve emotional well-being?

Self-Reflection and PerceptionWhen I watched her playing the role of Madeleine/Judy, I was immediately reminded of the moral debate concerning aesthetic surgery after her appearance at the Oscars a few years back. A visage all-too-apparently disfigured by aesthetic surgery. “Disgusting, awkward, depressing” these were all the comments from bystanders… and don’t even begin to describe the media blitz.And whilst you can objectively say that there were procedures done wrong in her case, she answered back pointing out that she feels happier after them. Although I strongly believe that...

New Year – New MeMany people are considering aesthetic surgery at the beginning of the new year to improve their body, face or skin. If you are interested in a cosmetic surgery, it is important to have realistic goals, what can and can not be achieved. And for me it is always important that an aesthetic surgery can complement a healthy lifestyle. It can not and should not be a means to drastically change your appearance. However, you can expect to get a fresher and younger version of yourself. I would like to introduce you briefly here to the methods that are suited the best.Summer...

Why Do We Shame Women Who Get Plastic Surgery?

Written by Kelly Vasileiadou on 18. October 2018. Posted in age, body, face, my opinion, operations. No Comments on Why Do We Shame Women Who Get Plastic Surgery?

The year 2018: Privacy does matterAt the beginning I was surprised to experience such a case in 2018 in Switzerland, the center of Europe. Then I started to accepted it and I respected it. I adjusted my consultation time so that patients don’t meet each other, I rented extra parking spots in the garage underneath the practice so that my patients come and go privately.But still I cannot stop thinking: Why do we shame women who get aesthetic treatments or cosmetic surgery?An eye opening interviewSome years ago, I happened to read an interview of Lisa Kudrow (some might know...

The art of minimalism – why less is more

The mistakes we have all seen alreadyDermal fillers can nowadays do so much, but no one wants to look “done”. Still, we’ve all seen it, or maybe it’s even happened to us: the brow too high, too low, too frozen; the balloonish lips or Angelina-Jolie-cheekbones that give the game away.What is mostly asked by my patients is the non-surgical facelift. And most of them believe that the only way to achieve it is to pump up the skin with plenty of fillers. Apparently because this is what they have seen or experienced till now. When we see overfilled or disconcertingly immobile faces,...

Summer is gone – Why now is the best time for aesthetic treatments

Written by Kelly Vasileiadou on 31. August 2018. Posted in body, face, operations, skin. No Comments on Summer is gone – Why now is the best time for aesthetic treatments

Switzerland – the sun destination in the heart of EuropeLiving in the center of Europe gives us the unique opportunity to catch any flight to the south, sunny resorts for a long vacation or even for a hot weekend. Sun was though very generous with Switzerland too this year, we all enjoyed high temperatures, swimming in the lakes and sun tanning till the long evening hours.On a negative side, exposure to the harsh summer sun can work to ‘speed up’ the visible signs of ageing. Exposure to UVA and UVB rays contributes to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles (as a result of reduced...

Is plastic fantastic?

As for why it sometimes goes wrong or looks odd, I’ll add that we have an innate ability to recognize balance, and that includes the human face. When we look at cases of bad plastic surgery, it isn’t that it was always bad. For example, Megan Fox started off very lovely, and got great plastic surgery to enhance her already-stunning looks. The after picture was taken during her transformers days, circa 2009, after rhinoplasty and lip fillers.Megan Fox: Nothing looks amiss!And here we see a picture, just a little later.Without a doubt, she still is good-looking, but you can...

The truth about BotoxBotox is not a poison (it is the quantity that makes the poison.).The active ingredient does not come from a snake.It does not cause permanent paralysis in the muscles.I was repeatedly confronted with false facts by my patients. The fear of Botox side effects is enormous, also because unfortunately there are still many false facts about Botox treatments in circulation. Therefore, I decided to address these fears and concerns with this article.Smoothing wrinkles with botulinum toxinWhat is Botox?From infected sausages to modern...
