Skin health and abnormal aging are intimately connected to internal health, nutrition, hormonal balance, weight problems and stress in all its forms. At Reverse Time we understand this and take a holistic, combined approach to treatment.
This holistic approach to treatment is essentially what good GPs offer. When you’re a GP, the first thing you do is to look, really look at the patient. We are programmed to think holistically about the patient. And as a GP who specialised in aesthetic medicine and wellness, I particularly appreciate the intricacies of aging, and how the skin reflects what is happening in the mind and body.
When my patient shows me a “line” or a wrinkle, I endeavour to see not just that, but all the problems behind that line or wrinkle. I am perfectly placed to enquire why that line is bothering that patient, what is actually causing it. I look at the entire picture. My treatment outcomes are natural and pleasing. Every patient is unique, and their results reflect that uniqueness.
Most of the time, especially when it comes to women, there’s a lot of hormonal interaction in skin aging. Thankfully, I have a diploma from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and I’ve had my fair share of women’s skin aging cases. I offer bio-identical hormone treatment as well. It is very important you combine these things together. You then get great results, and you can actually spend less on each treatment. It’s not like you’re going to blow your budget on just Botox, but you can get proper management, medical care.
These are not “beauty” treatments, they are underpinned by medical care – your skin is an organ so treating it is medical care.
Emma: So you’ve mentioned that you’re a GP also. So what makes you, because you’re a GP, so would that make my treatment slightly different? Does it make you more knowledgeable obviously on the treatments that your offer? How would that change my treatment?
Aarti: So being a GP, kind of – okay it is not that all GP’s can do this great or someone else cannot. I know quite a few Aesthetic Nurses are fantastic because they put all the nursing expertise into it, and I know one Midwife who is very good too.
When you’re a GP, the first thing you do is, you see the patient. We are trained to think holistically about the patient. It is always the cradle-to-grave approach. You know the stages of aging, and you are able to see not a “line” or a wrinkle, but all the problems behind that line or wrinkle, which is bothering this patient. We ask why is that line bothering that patient, and look at the bigger picture.
