Myths of aesthetic medicine
What is really true?
Aesthetic medicine has grown enormously in popularity in recent years – and with it numerous myths and half-truths. Many ideas circulating are not only outdated but simply wrong. At SK Aesthetics, we are committed to providing clarity and sharing evidence-based information.
We clear up common misconceptions about minimally invasive treatments and show what really lies behind them:
Myth 1: Botox makes the face look mask-like and rigid
Fact: A professionally performed Botox® treatment is not intended to suppress expression, but to harmonise it. At SK Aesthetics, we place great importance on natural results. Targeted application ensures that dynamic wrinkles such as smile lines, frown lines or crow’s feet are smoothed – without altering your natural facial expression. The result: a fresher, more relaxed appearance, without stiffness.
Myth 2: Lip fillers always lead to unnaturally full lips
Fact: The so-called “duck face” look is long outdated and has nothing to do with modern lip enhancement. We focus on emphasising the natural shape of the lips. With precisely dosed hyaluronic acid, volume, contour and symmetry can be individually adjusted – for a harmonious result that suits your facial aesthetics. Here, less is often more.
Myth 3: Ultherapy cannot replace surgery – so it is useless
Fact: An Ultherapy treatment is not a replacement for a surgical facelift – nor is it intended to be. The method is ideal for patients seeking gentle tightening without scalpel or downtime. It also stimulates the body’s own collagen production, leading to a long-lasting lifting effect.
Myth 4: Skin rejuvenation with Microneedling delivers barely visible results
Fact: Microneedling is one of the most effective skin regeneration methods – provided it is carried out professionally and combined with radiofrequency. We work with precisely adjusted needle depths and, if required, complementary active ingredients. This stimulates collagen production and sustainably improves the skin’s texture. Fine lines, acne scars or pigmentation disorders can be visibly reduced – without invasive procedures.
Myth 5: Permanent hair removal does not work on light hair
Fact: Modern technologies today also allow for effective hair reduction on lighter hair types. The laser technology we use is adapted to different skin and hair types and achieves optimal results with minimal skin stress. A professional analysis and individually tailored parameters are decisive – and that is exactly our approach.
