The Art and Science of Aesthetics

Aestheticians are devoted to improving and maintaining the health and beauty of the skin. It is an exciting time to be an aesthetician. During the past decade the art and science of aesthetics has gone from being a minor service to becoming an integral part of specialized services at health centers, spas, and medical facilities.

The skin is the window to the whole person: MIND/BODY/SOUL. The skin is a reflection of everything that we do and are; the health and the beauty of the skin is directly related to every aspect of our lives – diet, relationships, emotional health, physical activity, rest and spirituality.

The skin also serves the following basic functions: It protects the entire body; is a fundamental immune barrier; helps to regulates body heat; and controls excretion, secretion and absorption. Complete skin health and rapid detoxification require maximum skin functioning which can largely be accomplished simply by exfoliation, a process that is fundamental to all of the skin therapies of Hippocrates.

The tradition of aesthetics began with ancient medicine. The Greeks, Romans and Egyptians used aesthetics to prevent and promote the healing of illness with the use of massages and baths. Ayurvedic, Asian and Middle Eastern practitioners utilized the skin’s property of absorption by treating abnormal conditions with essential oils and poultices. Although various ancient modes of practice had their own theories of treatment and application, their unifying and underlying philosophy was the balance of mind, body and spirit which is essential for health and beauty.

It is this honored and proven understanding that provides the cornerstone Healthsthetics at the Hippocrates Health Institute. Today we combine traditional natural therapies with modern healing rejuvenation. This comprehensive approach involves spa therapy, facials, wraps, hydrotherapy, essential oils and contemporary scientific therapies that include laser, infra-red and radio-frequency treatments.
