Aesthetic Medicine” refers to medical procedures and treatments that focus on enhancing an individual’s appearance, symmetry, and proportion. The goal of aesthetic medicine is to improve a person’s physical appearance, leading to increased self-esteem and overall well-being. Unlike cosmetic surgery, aesthetic medicine typically involves non-surgical procedures that are minimally invasive.
Common procedures and treatments in aesthetic medicine include:
- Dermal Fillers: These are injectable substances (such as Platelet Rich Fibrin, hyaluronic acid or collagen) that add volume to areas of the face, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars and restoring a more youthful appearance.
- Chemical Peels: A chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This helps improve the texture of the skin, reduce fine lines, and treat certain skin conditions.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: This involves drawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then injecting it into the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote skin rejuvenation.
- Secretome Therapies for Skin and Hair Rejuvenation.
Aesthetic medicine is often performed by licensed medical professionals. It’s worth noting that the field of aesthetic medicine continues to evolve with advancements in technology and research, offering a wide range of options for individuals seeking non-surgical cosmetic enhancements.
