What Are Medical Aesthetic Treatments?

Medical aesthetics is a category of treatments performed under medical supervision that enhance appearance without surgery. These can range from injectables like Botox and dermal fillers to energy-based devices like CO2 lasers and radiofrequency microneedling.

How These Treatments Work

Most non-invasive procedures rely on:

  • Botulinum toxin (Botox) to relax muscles and smooth wrinkles.

  • Hyaluronic acid-based fillers to restore volume and contour the face.

  • Biostimulatory agents like Sculptra to gradually stimulate collagen production.

  • Energy-based devices (e.g., lasers, RF) to resurface and tighten skin.

Each works differently and is chosen based on your skin goals, anatomy, and lifestyle.
