Beauty Ideals? A small incision into beauty ideals – ever changing throughout time and place.
The discussion of beauty ideals through time and geographical space is a very long, layered, and complex one that can be approached from many different angles. While ideals may have shifted over time, and not all parts of the world subscribe to the same ones, it is undeniable that some truths persevere, such as the heavy association of external beauty with internal life. This may have been propagated through myths, literature, and poetic allegory in the past. Today it is done so largely through marketing and all forms of media, from classic magazine ads to social media bringing all sorts of morphed imagery into the palms of our hand and the subconsciousness of our minds. In this article we will scratch the surface of how certain beauty ideals have migrated through time and space and affected our aesthetic ideals.

The importance of a detailed understanding of facial anatomy, especially the vascular framework, when delivering non-surgical aesthetic procedures will likely not come as a surprise. The assessment, diagnosis and appropriate treatment selection all rely on deep anatomical understanding to ensure the efficacy, success and safety of procedures.

Gender Differences when Considering Aesthetic Treatments
Men currently represent a small portion of people pursuing aesthetic treatments, about 10%-20% of the population (Frucht & Ortiz, 2016), but that number is undeniably growing. Consultations with aesthetic practitioners are rising among men due to a number of factors, including the increasing normalization of seeking cosmetic treatments and the growing availability of minimally invasive treatment options. Societally, men are experiencing more pressure to look younger, both due to competition in the workplace and through the emphasis on male grooming in (social) media.
