Dr. Lesego Khantsi, a medical doctor and consultant epidemiologist, joins the NMP Talk Show to discuss health, beauty, and the rich tapestry of black aesthetics. Aesthetic medicine focuses on health, wellness, and enhancing one's appearance using available tools. It is not the same as plastic surgery, which involves surgical procedures to address physical problems. Beauty is not just skin deep; feeling and looking good can improve mental well-being and how others perceive you.

Common misconceptions surrounding aesthetic treatments for black people include the belief that black skin doesn't crack and that aesthetic treatments are only for changing one's appearance. Trends in aesthetic treatments for black skin include a focus on skin quality, lip augmentation, and injectable lip gloss. Sunscreen is essential for protecting black skin from sun damage.
