Detailed Description
This talk will examine Elaine’s research on the lived experiences of perimenopausal women who have undergone BoTNA treatment. Elaine will discuss the qualitative methods used and explore themes of ageing, self perception and emotional well-being. I-poems are used to highlight participants’ subjective narratives, providing fresh insights into the intersection of aesthetic medicine and mental health.
Perimenopause is a transformative phase in a woman’s life , marked by hormonal fluctuations. Despite the well-documented physiological symptoms, the emotional and psychological aspects remain underexplored. Could aesthetic interventions like BoTNA (commonly known for its cosmetic applications) play a role in mood regulation?
Engage in a thought-provoking discussion on women’s health and aesthetic medicine – we look forward to seeing you.
