DECODING BEAUTY
Dr. Panagiota Riga, on everything you’ve ever wanted to ask a top anti-aging dermatologist.
“I first perform on myself every new procedure I want to include in my practice! I want to feel confident about its safety and results”
-Which is the weirdest thing you have done for the sake of beauty (and would never try again)?
I first perform on myself every new procedure I want to include in my practice! I want to feel confident about its safety and results. I also want to completely understand and feel every step of the treatment. Then I’m ready to propose it to my patients. Sometimes I use extreme settings on my skin to check for side effects and that is not so wise
– Is there a magic formula for great skin?
My magic formula is called 4S 3E. Use Sunscreen, do not Smoke, handle Stress, try to Sleep 8 hours a day, Eat healthily, Exercise, Enjoy life.
-What’s your favorite treatment and why?
My favorite treatment is the Liquid Facelift. In this process, I use selected fillers to restore the loss of volume and treat face sagging that comes with aging. A lifting effect and a natural youthful appearance are immediately obvious.
This is the best treatment for women in their forties and early fifties.
