Estética e saúde feminina: Avaliação dos benefícios dos principais tratamentos estéticos para a qualidade de vida

Abstract

Introduction: Quality of life is a multidimensional concept encompassing the biological, emotional, social, spiritual, and physical aspects of an individual, contributing to a fulfilling and satisfying existence. In the current context, marked by technological advancements and pressures of modern lifestyles, aesthetics plays a central role in women's self-perception and self-esteem. The pursuit of an appearance that aligns with aesthetic standards can impact mental health and interpersonal relationships. This research aims to understand the relationship between aesthetics and women's quality of life, including the impacts of social pressures on the pursuit of aesthetic treatments and to understand the role of the biomedical aesthete in this context. Methodology: A qualitative narrative review was conducted, examining recent and relevant academic articles from 2009 to 2024, focusing on the intersection of aesthetics and quality of life. Development: The work examines various aesthetic procedures such as the application of Botox, peels, enzyme application, and facial laser treatments, and assesses their effects on women's self-esteem and quality of life. The application of Botox showed varied results, improving the satisfaction of some women while others preferred more conservative alternatives. Peeling offers cellular renewal, improving skin appearance and boosting confidence, although with potential temporary side effects. Enzyme application is widely used to treat localized fat and other aesthetic conditions, promoting an improvement in self-confidence. Laserterapy treatment addresses various skin conditions, promoting rejuvenation and collagen stimulation. Satisfaction with aesthetic procedures depends on individual expectations and clear communication with health professionals. Conclusion: Aesthetic procedures have a positive impact on women's self-esteem and well-being, promoting confidence and satisfaction. The role of the biomedical esthetician is crucial, offering safe and personalized approaches. The importance of thorough assessment and clear communication between professionals and patients to establish realistic expectations and ensure treatment safety is highlighted. This study suggests a multidisciplinary approach, considering social, emotional, and physical aspects. However, further investigation into these relationships is necessary to enhance strategies for promoting women's health and well-being.
