Why Appearance Medicine?

Written by Palm Clinic

As Appearance Medicine is becoming more popular and widespread, I have many friends ask me “is Appearance Medicine right for me?”

While this is an individual choice and everybody is different, my answer is usually a resounding “YES!” From my younger clients where the focus is more on enhancing current features (eyes, lips, cheeks) to the older clients where the focus is more on restoring features that may have diminished somewhat, there is something for everyone.

Essentially it’s something new that we can offer to make you feel better, look more attractive and feel energised. More importantly we can do this in a safe, subtle and significant way.

So when asked by my friends ‘why appearance medicine?’, my answer is ‘why wouldn’t you?’
