Impact of Beauty Therapy on Patients' Skins

Impact of Beauty Therapy on Patients' Skins

Blinded by distractions from the main event...


An individual does not necessarily need medical attention, cosmeceuticals or cosmetic procedures to secure and develop more healthy skin, but they do need to avoid beauty therapy.

Beauty therapy's impact on skin is to encourage (through misinformation) and actively produce (by mistreatment) unnecessary and irretrievable loss at the skin's most fundamental level.

Fundamentally and most unfortunately, skin aging-prevention strategies are most usefully applied in the first two decades of life, yet "anti-aging skincare" has typically been a mature women's marketplace, providing too little, far too late.

Compounding Flaws of Beauty and Spa Therapy

  • Diagnosis of concerns is fundamentally profit-driven by biologically-unaware observation and outcome prediction is below poor;

  • As a profession, beauty therapists do not measure, record, share or analyse useful data;

  • Most product and brand availability concerns controlled distribution and not proven performance or need;

  • Treatment and prevention strategies are dictated by biases unrelated to actual skin functioning, cosmetic companies offering training, public relations/media and word of mouth.

  • Most beauty therapy skincare practices are about endless, haphazard trial and error culminating in disappointment relative to latent potential.

Rather than recognize the underlying abusive and contemptuous aspects of the profession, individuals often reveal feelings of great trust and affection toward beauty therapists and brands, just as some individuals gain psychological reassurance and pleasure from smoking.

Whatever its appeal to the mind, no one should expect to derive any concrete skin benefit by sourcing empirical beauty therapy evidence, any more than they will trawling department store counters, coveting Paula Begoun publications or heeding the bulk of skin care forum discussions.

Hyperpigmentation resulting from unprofessional chemical peels seems an endless occurrence.

The Bottom Line

  • beauty therapy and spas have not reduced the prevalence of undue premature skin aging and other diseases, but they have increased — at great financial cost — the likelihood of futile and incorrect treatment;

  • problem detection is poor, late and associated with largely irreversible poor outcomes;

  • tanning salons have increased mortality.

Because you can't have actual care of the skin without intricate scientific regard for its organic nature, it has always been, and may always be, that beauty therapy fails skin from the outset.

For the mind, not the skin...
