Beyond Aesthetics: How to Restore, Rebuild and Rejuvenate

Modern aesthetic treatments have an extraordinary ability to enhance our external appearance – but of even greater note is their power to restore self-confidence, to rebuild broken bodies and to rejuvenate us from the inside-out.

This forward-looking discussion brought together an expert, all-female panel – including aesthetic doctor, Miss Sherina Balaratnam; psychiatrist and body expert, Dr Galyna Selezneva; and oculoplastic surgeon, Dr Maryam Zamani – to explore the positive impact that the right procedure can bring: from calming a turbulent complexion and bringing faces back to life, to strengthening the female body after pregnancy or menopause, and even ensuring optimal health in years to come.

Together, we learned about the safe and proven ways to re-energise both face and body – but we also discovered how to reinstate a forgotten sense of self: ensuring results that can be seen in the mirror, but also felt within.
