Aesthetic medicine is a wide term for various specialties which specialize in changing physical appearance through the prevention of diseases such as acne, marks, scars, rosacea, cellulite, moles, skin slackening, liver spots, spider veins and excess fat. The discipline has become a major part of healthcare delivery over the past two decades as advances in medical science have helped improve the overall quality of life. It has developed into an important branch of general surgery due to advances in medical imaging and laser technology. Its role in aesthetic medicine is increasing due to the fact that many cosmetic procedures can be performed in the comfort and privacy of a patient’s own home without requiring extensive hospital stays.
