What is Aesthetic Medicine?

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.

Aesthetic Medicine protocol step by step

1. Facial assessment and diagnosis Facial thirds analysis, muscle dynamics and degree of ptosis. Clinical photography.

2. Treatment design Combined plan based on goals: Botox + fillers + biostimulators. Zone mapping.

3. Botox application IM injections with 30G syringe. Dose of 2–6 U per point depending on muscle.

4. HA fillers / biostimulators Cannula or 27–30G needle. Microdeposit, retrograde or fanning techniques per zone.

5. Result and follow-up Botox effect: 5–7 days. Review at 2 weeks for touch-ups. Follow-up at 3 months.

The science behind Aesthetic Medicine

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.

  • Cosmetic Botulinum Toxin A Injections to the Upper Face: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Clinical Studies
    Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology · 2026

    2026 SR/MA (10 RCTs): botulinum toxin A in upper face significantly reduces wrinkle severity (Cohen's d = 1.93; 95% CI 1.60-2.25; p=0.001). Considerable variability between studies (I²=90%); patient satisfaction data heterogeneous.

    Aesthetic Surgery Journal · 2026

    2026 RCT, patient- and evaluator-blinded (Korean patients, nasolabial folds): new crosslinked hyaluronic acid filler non-inferior to control at 24 wks (WSRS), with favourable GAIS. Local adverse events more frequent with test (92% vs 82%) but no severe reactions.

  • Botulinum Toxin Type A for the Prevention of Migraines: An Umbrella Review of Systematic Reviews
    Toxins · 2026

    2026 umbrella review (14 SR/MA): botulinum toxin A for chronic migraine reduces frequency, severity and rescue medication use vs placebo. Less efficacy than topiramate and anti-CGRP antibodies (galcanezumab, fremanezumab); better tolerability than topiramate.

  • Beyond Wrinkles: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Off-Label Aesthetic Uses of Botulinum Neurotoxin
    Annals of Plastic Surgery · 2026

    2026 SR/MA (38 studies, n=1,903): off-label aesthetic uses of botulinum toxin include eyebrow lift, forehead fat graft retention, nasal sculpting, facial slimming, gummy smile, neck/arm/calf contouring. Predominantly female patients (94%); interventions mostly lower face (70%).

Frequently asked questions about Aesthetic Medicine

Is Botox addictive?

It does not create physical or chemical dependence. Some patients choose to repeat treatment when they notice the muscles regaining mobility at 4–6 months. If treatment is discontinued, the muscles return to their previous state with no adverse consequences.

What is the difference between fillers and Botox?

Botox relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (forehead, frown lines, crow's feet). Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume and treat static wrinkles and folds (nasolabial, marionette, lips).

Does it matter if a specialist performs the procedure?

Absolutely. Injection of botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid requires deep anatomical knowledge to avoid serious complications (ptosis, vascular occlusion). It should always be performed by a physician with specific training in aesthetic medicine.
