Cosmetic medicine, also known as aesthetic medicine, is a branch of modern medicine that uses non-surgical approaches to enhance a patient's overall appearance and personal satisfaction. This further includes invasive or minimally invasive procedures to provide a younger look.
The increasing aging population has significantly boosted the demand for cosmetic medicines. The U.S. FDA has approved more than 20 injectables in the past ten years in response to the growing demand. Some of the most commonly used injectable medicines include botox and hyaluronic acid fillers. Several techniques and procedures are also used to improve appearance, such as photorejuvenation, cryolipolysis, chemical peels, mesotherapy injection, cellulite treatment, permanent makeup, facelifts, and more.
