Psychoaesthetics of the face: how a person's emotions affect his appearance

Speaking of the face, the first thing that comes to mind for almost every person – it's the emotions that show up on it. It is very important, when correcting age-related or any other changes in the face, to maintain its natural appearance and natural facial expressions.

However, in aesthetic medicine there is another way of looking at the emotional component. In an exclusive interview for estet-portal.com, dermatovenereologist Roman Romanovich Yaremkevich spoke about the psychoaesthetics of the face and how a person's emotions affect his appearance.

What does the concept of "psycho-aesthetics of the face" mean

Psychoaesthetics not only of the face, but in general – this is a new modern concept, which actually does not appear anywhere else in other literature.

Roughly speaking, psychoaesthetics is an interaction, a game between the mental state of the patient and skin dermatosis. Some kind of close relationship exists between these concepts, and we are trying to explain it from a scientific point of view.

Are a person's emotions related to their appearance

Definitely, the emotional state of the patient is connected with his appearance. We can see this in existing examples of depressed people who are wrinkled, whose facial expression immediately speaks for itself. We see such a patient already at the door, the diagnosis is made when the latch is opened.

 And vice versa, we are pleased to communicate with people who are constantly smiling, although sometimes it is pseudo, that is, a person can smile, but in fact be rotten inside. But, in fact, it is difficult for a person to keep such emotions inside himself, and, sooner or later, they come out in the form of skin manifestations. Therefore, the skin – it is a continuation of our soul, we perceive people with it.

The predominance of which emotions of a person most affects the condition of the skin

I can't say that only the negative emotions of a person are reflected on the skin. If we are talking about the skin of the face, these are, first of all, those wrinkles that reflect the dissatisfaction of the patient.

But the joyful emotions of a person are also reflected on the face over time, therefore, smiling people can see crow's feet near the eyes from a constant smile and goodwill.

How important is the joint work of dermatologists with psychologists, neuropathologists

This is a very important question for today. Unfortunately, in modern realities, most doctors of aesthetic medicine and not only, when they have contact with a strange patient, especially with mental illness, and not with neuroses and neurosis-like conditions, try to send him as soon as possible to another specialist, to his competitor or simply get rid of him.

Therefore, conflicts begin between the patient and the doctor, which can compromise both the doctor himself and the clinic in which he works. And we know that such patients like to talk, and doctors understand that the patient really has some kind of mental problem, and those around him perceive him as he is, and have known him for a long time, so they perceive this as the norm and it can go bad glory of the doctor.

I wonder how the behavior pattern affects life

In this regard, we need to work closely with specific psychologists, psychiatrists that we know, and guide the patient only carefully and competently so that he does not run away, does not get lost and does not wander around other doctors, but gets where he was meant to hit from the start.
