Thanks to the achievements of modern science, medicine has undergone significant progress in recent years, which has affected all its branches. Especially pronounced changes are noticed by experienced cosmetologists, who not so long ago had only a few effective techniques in their arsenal, and today they give their patients the opportunity to change their appearance without surgical intervention.
In an interview for estet-portal.com, a specialist with twenty years of experience, a dermatovenereologist and cosmetologist at the Moscow Institute of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology Irina Rakhova spoke about the changes she observes, and what issues of aesthetic medicine are especially relevant today.
What is your secret to creating beauty in patients
Probably, the secret of success of any doctor, his popularity, appreciation and effectiveness of what he does, is that you should always be indifferent and want to get this result. That is, a person was not born to be defeated, he can be destroyed, but not defeated.

This is the formula of any normal person, in principle, but especially a doctor, because we cannot put up with impotence more than people of any other profession. And this is the desire to have a result, and at the same time, indifference and love for the patient, probably, this is always the engine of any effectiveness of what you do.
You have been working in cosmetology for 20 years, how do you think aesthetic medicine has changed over this time
I often say that once we were children, we watched science fiction films about the future, and we ourselves did not notice how we became the heroes of these science fiction films, and the future has already come.
Science, which is developing by leaps and bounds, with regard to aesthetic medicine as well, brings great satisfaction to any thinking specialist in this field.
I can't even remember now how we had only three procedures in our arsenal, with which we solved some issues, and we could not solve many issues at all. And people then, naturally, for the most part grew old, and of course there were very few opportunities. Today, there are a huge number of revolutionary solutions to age-related problems.
Recently, I did an interview on the radio, and then there were a lot of calls, because I said that patients today do not need to live with a beautician. There is no need to go for 10 mesotherapy procedures once a week, today there are a lot of methods that allow you to solve age-related problems, visiting a beautician very rarely, and at the same time really stopping time.
What, according to your observations, is especially worrying for doctors today
Doctors are worried about different things. Their questions depend on the level of qualification, personal experience, the possibility of combining different methods, depending on the place of work, because not all clinics are equipped with the most modern equipment. But a rather big problem today is that many cosmetologists, as well as patients, abuse cosmetology services.
In Moscow, it is sometimes scary to walk around the city, because we see people who have changed so much that, it seems to me, they terrify even their own parents. Moreover, they look like this already at a fairly early age, and it’s scary to imagine what will happen to them when they live to 50 years old.
This is skin overstretched with fillers and tortured by endless stimulation with mesotherapy drugs. You can’t endlessly stimulate yourself, you need to help the skin, remind it of the basic information with which it has gone astray, but in no case do the work that it should do for it.
In no case should you live with a beautician if you do not have acne, rosacea or hirsutism, from the age of 17. This is a deep delusion and cynicism of business, which is probably imposed by not very clean mass media in their own marketing interests.
Do you often face the problem of high expectations among patients today
I can say very boldly and with absolute certainty that when patients come to me today and they haven't before, I provide them with a greater miracle than they expect. This is a great merit of the development of cosmetology science.
I don't have patients with high expectations, I have patients who can't believe what happened to them, and how much prettier they are in just one treatment.
I tell them that they don't need to come to me in the next six months at all, and they will only get prettier after leaving me, and this is not my personal merit. Although, of course, great experience means a lot, and now I understand why I was not hired at the age of 30, although it seemed to me that I knew everything.
Personal statistics – This, of course, is a very good support for a doctor. Personal experience allows you to be confident in something and know that something will happen for sure, but something will not happen. But this is also the merit of modern technologies, methods and needs for beauty. A person's life expectancy has increased, and the quality of life, thanks to the development of medicine and contrary to ecology, is also improving.
People today want to keep for a very long time the image that they had, and which allows them to be socialized, loved, happy and like themselves in the mirror.
