What is Aesthetic Medicine?
Definition and how it works
Aesthetic medicine is the medical specialty that applies minimally invasive techniques to improve appearance and treat visible ageing. The most in-demand treatments include botulinum toxin (Botox), hyaluronic acid (fillers), collagen biostimulators (Sculptra, Radiesse, Profhilo), mesotherapy, chemical peels and device-based facial treatments. All under medical prescription and supervision.
Origin and history
Botulinum toxin was FDA-approved for cosmetic use in 2002, although its medical use dates back to 1989. Hyaluronic acid as a dermal filler was introduced in the 1990s, revolutionising non-surgical aesthetic medicine.

The science behind Aesthetic Medicine
Scientific evidence summary
Botulinum toxin type A is the most studied cosmetic treatment in the world, with over 40 years of clinical use. Its mechanism of blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction is fully documented. Collagen biostimulators (such as poly-L-lactic acid) stimulate fibroblasts to produce type I and III collagen, with histological studies confirming neocollagenesis for up to 2 years post-treatment.
