On the broadest level,  medical aesthetics  are  medical procedures  aimed to improve a patient’s cosmetic (aesthetic) appearance. Medical aesthetics treatments are  non-invasive to minimally invasive and are generally administered in a med spa or doctor’s office. In the beauty treatments spectrum, medical aesthetics is nestled between  aesthetic treatments  and  surgical treatments. While aesthetic services focus on more cosmetic, minimally invasive treatments. It’s key to remember that  medical aesthetics  are MEDICAL. Med aesthetic treatments require a high level of training and understanding of physical anatomy to be safely and effectively administered. Toxin injections such as Botox/Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau and dermal fillers are not over the counter, and should only be administered by a trained nurse or physician 

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a rejuvenation treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate collagen production. The growth factors in PRP are considered safe and natural, as it is derived from the patient’s own body. It is also used for joint rejuvenation, hair regrowth, urinary incontinence in women, and erectile dysfunction and Peyronie’s disease in men. PRP injections are a popular choice for those seeking anti-aging treatments without extensive skin treatments or plastic surgery. Properly performed by a trained professional, PRP injections are safe and effective. 

It’s important to remember that medical aesthetic treatments are still medical treatments. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure the medical professional who is providing the treatments is appropriately trained, licensed, and performed in a clinic environment where they can handle any adverse situations, should they occur. Many risk factors depend on a person’s health and medical history, anatomy, and genetics.
