What is aesthetic medicine?

Aesthetic medicine is the speciality concerned with the restoration, maintenance and improvement of the aesthetic level of people’s bodies. In recent decades, various procedures and techniques have been developed to allow the realisation of treatments without resorting to invasive surgery and therefore leaving minimal scars which, on occasion, are imperceptible to the human eye. The procedures can be carried out with topical or local anaesthesia and on an outpatient basis. Depending on the objective, the treatment can be preventative or rejuvenatory. Aesthetic medicine is a group of treatments and procedures that focus on the improvement and enhancement of cosmetic problems, such as ageing, scars, moles, skin lesions, cellulite, hair loss and spider veins.
