Myth vs Reality
In today’s age of social media and the internet, we have unprecedented access to information on nearly any topic. However, along with this wealth of information, we also encounter a significant amount of misinformation. In this “Myth vs. Reality” section, we address some of the most common myths about aesthetic procedures, both surgical and non-surgical. Our goal is to provide you with professional advice from board-certified experts to help you make well-informed decisions.
1. “Biostimulators are all you need.”
Dr. Kassandra Oliva explains that while biostimulators are powerful for stimulating collagen, they don’t replace fillers. Hyaluronic acid fillers are still essential for restoring structure and volume where it’s been lost. With her expertise in aesthetic and regenerative medicine, Dr. Oliva emphasizes that the best results come from a thoughtful combination of both, tailored to each patient’s needs.
2. “Medical Aesthetics foll0ws Trends.”
Dr. Kassandra Oliva explains that true aesthetic medicine isn’t about chasing trends, but about enhancing what makes each person unique. She believes the best results come from working with a provider who tailors treatments to your individual features and emphasizes your natural beauty. Since beauty is always evolving, Dr. Oliva encourages patients to focus on expressing their uniqueness rather than conforming to fleeting ideals.
3. “AI can replace the expertise of a medical professional.”
Dr. Marie-Caroline Sylvestre debunks the myth that AI can replace medical expertise. She explains that while AI can assist, it cannot feel your skin, read your expressions, or tailor treatments to your unique anatomy and personality. Human connection and clinical judgment remain irreplaceable.
4. “aesthetic medicine is only for women.”
Nurse Anabel St-Onge debunks the myth that aesthetic medicine is only for women. She explains that these treatments are for everyone, emphasizing that everyone deserves to feel confident and good in their own skin.
