JAKARTA - The beauty paradigm in Indonesia is currently undergoing a major shift. If in the past aesthetics were often considered as an effort to "fight time" forcibly, now people are beginning to switch to a more natural rejuvenation concept based on long-term health.

The natural-looking rejuvenation trend is in the spotlight, where the goal is no longer to change the shape of the face into a different figure, but to improve the quality of the skin to stay healthy at every age range.

Strengthening the Foundation from the Deepest Layer

Aging turns out to be not just a problem on the surface of the skin such as fine wrinkles. Dermatologists emphasize that the aging process occurs to the deepest layer, including a decrease in collagen and weakening of the facial support tissue (SMAS).

"Modern rejuvenation approaches are no longer enough if they only focus on improving the surface of the skin. Strengthening the structure from within is now key," said dr. Riva Ambardina Pradita, Sp.D.V.E., Dermatologist. This triggered the popularity of energy-based devices such as Monopolar Radiofrequency. This technology works by stimulating new collagen in the dermis layer to provide a gradual and long-lasting tightening effect, without the need for surgery.

Laser and Nutrition Synergy: The Secret of Holistic Care

The key to optimal results lies in the combination of treatment protocols. There is no one type of action that can solve all skin problems.

Combination of Technology: The use of precision lasers (such as PicoSure Pro) to improve skin color, if combined with a lifting procedure, will result in skin that is not only firm, but also bright and supple.

Cell Level Nutrition: Skin health is highly dependent on what you eat. Dr. Karina Marcella, Sp.GK, Clinical Nutrition Specialist, explains that excessive sugar intake can accelerate the accumulation of DNA cell damage. Conversely, anti-inflammatory nutrients help maintain metabolic pathways that slow down the aging process of cells from within the body.

Medical Acupuncture and Body Balance Complementing these external and internal approaches, medical acupuncture is now integrated as part of the wellness strategy. Through stimulation of nerve points, this therapy helps suppress oxidative stress, lower cortisol levels (stress hormones), and improve sleep quality. A body in a state of balance (homeostasis) will automatically reflect on healthier skin quality.

Choosing an Expertise-Based Service In the midst of a flood of health information on social media, consumers are reminded to be more selective. It is important to ensure that aesthetic procedures are carried out based on a personal medical analysis - not just following trends.

Bamed, as a health service provider that has been running for 16 years, emphasizes the importance of the role of specialist doctors in every medical decision-making. Through the latest collaboration with Oligio technology, Bamed strives to provide clinically safe aesthetic solutions in the country, so that people no longer have to look for international standard services abroad.

"Investment in skin health is a long-term commitment. The goal is to be the best version of yourself, stay healthy, productive, and feel comfortable with yourself in the mirror," concluded the Bamed medical team at the inauguration of its latest service in Jakarta.
