TLDR Aesthetic rehabilitation techniques can improve life quality and wellbeing for disabled patients.

The document "Aesthetic Rehabilitation Medicine: Enhancing Wellbeing beyond Functional Recovery" discusses the integration of aesthetic treatments in rehabilitation medicine to improve patients' quality of life and psychological wellbeing beyond functional recovery. It highlights various therapies, including botulinum toxin, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), hyaluronic acid, ozone, carboxytherapy, extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), laser therapy, microcurrent therapy, and Tecar therapy. These treatments have shown positive impacts on conditions such as androgenic alopecia, cellulite, wound healing, scar appearance, and skin rejuvenation. The review emphasizes the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to achieve both functional and aesthetic improvements, thereby enhancing the overall quality of life and psychosocial wellbeing of patients.
