The ravages of time do not spare anyone. Still, the pace can be adjusted. Stay fresh - with no surgical intervention and no social timeout. Dr. Golnaz Delir of the "Kuzbari Center for Aesthetic Medicine" provides insights into non-invasive treatment methods.

It was not so long ago that plastic surgery was the only method of achieving immediate rejuvenation effects. In the meantime, there is a variety of alternative treatment approaches for dealing with aging processes.

In order to prevent these changes, one can ideally use aesthetic measures to act against the age-related thinning of the skin even before it begins. The concept behind a crossgenerational &ldquo;full face approach&rdquo; is that, depending on the age of the person, appropriate treatment procedures such as &ldquo;skin boosting&rdquo;, injections or &ldquo;soft lifts&rdquo; can be used, making invasive methods unnecessary at a later age.

Could you describe the concept behind the cross-generational &ldquo;Full Face Approach&rdquo; in a little more detail?

Every client, whether she is in her life phase as a grandmother, mother or daughter, has an individual skin texture. We can respond to the changing needs of their skin texture along these phases quite effectively, with gentle treatment methods.

So basically you accompany your clients in the ongoing processes of change for the rest of their lives?

When a relationship of trust has been established, I am even looking forward to aging together with them. To stay with the term &ldquo;full-face approach&rdquo;: By now, there is a trend in aesthetic medicine to consider the face in its entirety instead of an isolated single-region treatment and last but not least to make recommendations that are based on many years of experience which are implemented after a clear briefing. In addition, as a starting point of any treatment the patient&#39;s body should be viewed as a whole. The result of a successful treatment should be that in the end the client&#39;s face harmonizes with her neck, d&eacute;collet&eacute; and hands.

Harmony! The thought of spring is not far away, and so is the desire to look young and fit. Is there a non-invasive treatment method that comes closest to fulfilling this eternal yearning?

This always has to be considered individually. During our free initial consultation, we try to understand the client&#39;s wishes. First of all, their entire health constitution is our primary focus. If someone comes to us with a specific treatment idea and we notice a specific medical problem, then this needs to be clarified first. Our clients, in this case patients, do also appreciate a lot the fact that we can provide the entire medical spectrum before we make a recommendation. Then, when it comes to choosing a treatment, it is still important to clarify to what extent the person wants to be actively involved in the processes.

Dr. Golnaz Delir practices at the "Kuzbari" centre, which focuses on aesthetic medicine. Located in the heart of Vienna, the centre meets the highest standards of plastic surgery, dermatology and cosmetics. 

You mean that there are treatments that require the client&#39;s cooperation?

There is hardly any treatment that can lead to success without a personal commitment of the respective person. Balanced nutrition, steady intake of water, healthy sleep, moderate exercise, low alcohol consumption, sun protection, as well as avoiding the use of solariums, refraining from smoking and similar, are all well-known components of a healthy lifestyle that help to slow down the skin aging process. Keyword post-treatment: in order to successfully prevent hyperpigmentation after a chemical peeling, for example, the client must use sunscreen protection regularly and also give the skin enough time to regenerate after the treatment. We never ignore thereby how far the client&#39;s wishes do match with the status quo of her anatomy.

Wishfull thinking versus the status quo of the client&#39;s anatomy: there does some disillusion resonate here &ndash; doesn&rsquo;t it?

Clients come to us with a specific treatment wish. Of course, I can&#39;t ignore the &ldquo;problem&rdquo;. But I can examine the body region in grosso modo to define the aesthetic priority from a specialist&#39;s point of view and at the same time meet the main purpose. If a patient insists on having his lips injected in such a way as to seriously affect the way the face looks, he may be disappointed. In this case, an extensive consultation under consideration of all proportions of the face can be very helpful, because a natural result is of particular importance to me in aesthetic treatments.

Botox and hyaluronic acid are the most prominent and popular alternatives to a classic facelift and are applied to the skin by means of injections.

Strictly speaking, they belong to the minimally invasive methods with immediate effect. The really gentle methods for visibly tightening the skin&#39;s appearance include Ultherapy or Fraxel laser treatment, for example. However, much more crucial than these distinctions made from non-invasive or minimally invasive to invasive treatments should rather be the healthy and critical view of them.

Good point: why are these procedures automatically associated with lower risk?

To a large extent, that is true. Still, looking at individual circumstances is the key. In addition, social media also relentlessly feeds this assumption. My very subjective observation is that the constant exposure to optimized images and selfies with beauty filters, depending of course on the patient&#39;s personality, can lead to a distorted perception of herself! Therefore, I see a detailed initial consultation as a mandotary task, where real goals are set and patients are also sufficiently well informed about possible side effects.
