Media is often portraying how the desire to undergo aesthetic treatments has increased amongst women as well as men during the ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ป, partly owing to ๐๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ด calls.

This accessibility and ease of booking procedures is a cause for concern and could have a negative influence on ๐๐๐น๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ into making hasty decisions about buying procedures prior to an adequate cooling off period.
BAAPS is further urging the public to exercise caution and not get influenced by a โpanic buyโ due to marketing deals and offers. At Hvit Clinic, we share the opinion of BAAPS. A virtual consultation is a great way for patients to be introduced to the practitioner and understand more about the sought treatment. This should be followed up by a face-to-face consultation where a clinical and psychological assessment can be made.
