Botox treatment: when it really helps and who it’s for?

Botox is one of the best-known aesthetic medical treatments today, yet it is still surrounded by misconceptions. Some people are wary of it, while others expect too much from it – even though its real strength lies in subtlety. With the right indication, precise dosing and an experienced medical hand, Botox can help preserve the face’s natural balance and expression. Dr László Képíró, plastic surgeon at Dr Rose Private Hospital, answers the most important questions.

Is Dementia a part of ageing?

It is common to notice forgetfulness in elderly loved ones, or their difficulty in finding the right words. But when should we start to worry? According to Dr. Sándor Ilniczky, a neurologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, such signs should not be dismissed.
“If an elderly person complains of forgetfulness or cognitive difficulties, it cannot simply be attributed to ageing,” emphasizes the neurologist. This concern is one of the reasons why Dr. Rose Private Hospital has developed its Dementia Prevention Program.

THE NOSE JOB THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

The nose is one of the most important parts of the face, strongly determining its look and character. Many people are dissatisfied with their nose, thinking it is too big or even misshapen. Alongside aesthetic reasons, health reasons cannot be neglected as in many cases a rhinoplasty can solve breathing problems. The aim of the surgery is to eliminate the health or aesthetic problems and to achieve the desired shape and function of the nose.

Recommended Screening for Women

Women are recommended to undergo cancer screening annually and also to request HPV screening. A common question among women and mothers is, at what age should gynaecological screening begin? According to Dr. Dániel Dubecz, an obstetrician-gynaecologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, the need for screening is not determined by age. Instead, it is crucial for women and girls who are sexually active to have regular gynaecological screening. The general rule, whether for young girls or older women, is to have a gynaecological exam and screening once a year if there are no symptoms. Annual cancer screening is recommended from the start of sexual activity, along with HPV screening. Additionally, women over 35 should have a mammogram every two years.

Lactose Sensitivity, Lactose Intolerance

Lactose intolerance—also known as lactose sensitivity—is the inability to digest lactose, a disaccharide sugar found in milk and certain dairy products. This condition arises from a deficiency or complete absence of lactase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down lactose. Globally, it's estimated that around 75% of the adult population cannot fully digest lactose. Rates vary widely: approximately 5% in Northern Europe, 71% in Southern Europe, and up to 90% in some Asian and African countries.
