Conditions Treated by Aesthetic Medicine
Aesthetic medicine encompasses a variety of skin treatments. Some of the most common conditions treated include:
Wrinkles and Fine Lines: As we age, wrinkles and fine lines become more prominent on our skin. Aesthetic medicine offers solutions such as Botox injections, RecoSMA and dermal fillers to smooth out these imperfections, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Acne and Acne Scars: Acne can leave behind unsightly scars that affect one's self-esteem. Aesthetic medicine provides treatments to improve skin texture and reduce the visibility of acne scars.
Excess Fat: Stubborn pockets of fat that don't melt away to diet changes and exercise can be treated with non-surgical procedures like liposuction, or laser fat reduction.
Uneven Skin Tone: Hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and other skin discolourations can be effectively treated with chemical peels, laser therapy, and prescription skincare products.
Hair Loss: Hair restoration treatments, including hair transplants and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, can help individuals regain their confidence by addressing hair loss concerns.
Sagging Skin: Procedures like thread lifts and radiofrequency treatments can tighten facial and neck skin.
Spider Veins and Varicose Veins: Aesthetic medicine offers minimally invasive treatments like sclerotherapy and laser therapy that mask the appearance of unsightly veins.
Recovery and Aftercare
The recovery process after an aesthetic procedure varies depending on the type of treatment received. However, some general guidelines apply:
Follow Post-Procedure Instructions: It is crucial to adhere to the post-procedure instructions provided by your medical professional. These may include restrictions on physical activity, skincare routines, and medications.
Monitor Healing: Keep a close eye on the treated area, and if you notice any unusual side effects, such as excessive swelling, bruising, or infection, contact your doctor immediately.
Protect Your Skin: Sun protection is essential to prevent damage to the treated area. Avoid direct exposure to sunlight harmful UV rays and apply sunscreen as your doctor recommends.
Maintain Healthy Habits: To prolong the results of your aesthetic treatment, it is essential to maintain an active, healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise.

What is Aesthetic Medicine?
Aesthetic medicine, or cosmetic medicine, is a branch of medicine that focuses on improving a person's appearance through non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures. Unlike traditional plastic surgery, which often involves extensive surgical interventions, aesthetic medicine offers many treatments designed to enhance natural beauty, address specific concerns, and boost self-esteem. These treatments are performed by skilled medical professionals who combine medical expertise with an artistic touch to achieve optimal results.
Who Needs Aesthetic Medicine?
Aesthetic medicine is not just for celebrities and models; it is for anyone who desires to improve their appearance and boost their self-confidence. The reasons individuals seek aesthetic treatments are as diverse as the treatments themselves. Some common motivations include:
Ageing Gracefully: Many people want to age gracefully and maintain a youthful appearance as they grow older. Aesthetic medicine offers non-invasive options to help individuals achieve this goal.
Self-Esteem Boost: Aesthetic treatments can significantly boost self-esteem and self-confidence by addressing insecurities related to one's appearance.
Special Occasions: Some individuals opt for aesthetic treatments before weddings, reunions, or other significant events to look and feel their best.
Post-Pregnancy: Pregnancy can lead to changes in the body some women wish to address, such as sagging skin or stretch marks.
Weight Loss Journey: Those who have successfully lost weight may seek aesthetic treatments to remove excess skin or reshape their bodies.
Diagnosis
At Gleneagles Hospitals, the journey towards aesthetic enhancement begins with a thorough consultation. Our experienced medical professionals will carefully assess your concerns, medical history, and expectations to recommend the most suitable treatment plan.

The diagnostic process may include:
Physical Examination: A comprehensive examination of the area to be treated allows the medical professional to assess your skin's condition and elasticity.
Medical History: A review of your medical history, including any allergies, past surgeries, medications, or medical conditions that may impact the choice of treatment.
Discussion of Expectations: An open and honest conversation about your goals and expectations, ensuring that you have a realistic understanding of what can be achieved.
