Challenges for the future in dermatology
According to data from the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venerology, seven out of ten dermatologists practice this specialty in public and private healthcare. Skin care and healthy aging is an increasing priority for Spaniards.
In fact, the World Health Organization defines health as physical, mental and social well-being, and not just the absence of disease. Therefore, a challenge for dermatology is going to be, in the first place, how to approach the care of diseased skin, with innovative approaches, at the same time as how to respond to this growing demand for healthy skin care that is linked to that need for mental and social well-being. And that is what we do at Allergan Aesthetics, betting and working for a healthy beauty.
At AbbVie and Allergan Aesthetics, we work on both lines to meet this demand to care for both pathological skin and healthy skin. And it is that we work from science to offer innovative solutions that satisfy therapeutic and aesthetic needs.
Aesthetic dermatology: what role it plays in the patient and its emotional impact
As I said before, concern for maintaining healthy skin is becoming more frequent, trying to delay, on many occasions, the signs of aging as part of our physical, mental and social well-being, and as an expression of a complete state of health and well-being. . There are studies that support that minimally invasive aesthetic treatments improve self-esteem and self-confidence. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is an increasing demand for this type of necessities.
Due to this reality, the dermatologist is acquiring an increasingly important role in the approach to healthy skin, without the existence of a specific pathology. In this sense, from Allergan Aesthetics we collaborate with these professionals, innovative treatments and techniques for the care of the skin of their patients.
