“Good doctors know when to treat, great doctors know when not to treat.
One of the biggest challenges working in the aesthetic field is counselling patients who are convinced they need a treatment, when in fact they do not.
We are increasingly comparing ourselves with unrealistic images and ideals we are incessantly bombarded with.
I believe the ultimate role of a practitioner in the aesthetic field is not to simply treat every patient who requests treatment but to listen, understand and nurture reassurance.
Changing how someone sees themselves in a positive way is more powerful than any procedure.
Treatments are effective, safe and can be highly impactful but are not the only way to restore the confidence.” - Dr Tapan Patel.
