TLDR Aesthetic medicine is focusing more on patient needs and using new technologies, but ethical issues and regulation challenges need attention.
Aesthetic medicine is shifting towards a patient-centered approach that prioritizes psychological well-being and natural results, driven by innovations in minimally invasive procedures, regenerative therapies, and AI technologies. These advancements improve treatment precision and patient satisfaction but also raise ethical concerns like overtreatment and commercialization, necessitating robust guidelines and value-based care models. The prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder among cosmetic patients underscores the importance of psychological screening. The global market's growth leads to disparities in access, and regulatory delays pose risks, especially for regenerative therapies. Future directions include long-term efficacy studies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and standardized training to ensure ethical growth and patient safety.
