The article "Pleas for an Expanded Medicine Part 8: On the Legitimacy of Aesthetic Medicine" by Volker Schrader discusses the significance of social metabolism in the development of diseases. The author emphasizes that adaptation to the environment and the ability to self-regulate metabolism are crucial for a healthy life. He also mentions the influence of cultural values and norms on the fashion and cosmetics industry. Aesthetic medicine focuses on age-related changes in the skin and contours in order to regain lost vitality. However, the author emphasizes that adapting to societal conditions is a necessity and should not become part of one's identity. He criticizes extreme excesses of aesthetic medicine but emphasizes that taking care of the body and beauty should not be excluded. The article also discusses the issue of controlled interventions in the brain and identity changes related to aesthetic procedures. It is recommended to consult a competent doctor who keeps the level of intervention as low as possible. Various minimally invasive aesthetic therapy forms such as fillers, botulinum treatments, and laser treatments are mentioned. Anti-aging effects can also be achieved through systemic therapies targeting mitochondrial renewal. The article emphasizes the importance of a balanced decision and a critical approach to aesthetic procedures. [Extracted from the article]
