Welcome to the January issue of Aesthetic Medicine Magazine
This month, our theme lies at the very foundation of aesthetic medicine – 'skin.'
On page 27, Dr Ifeoma Ejikeme sheds light on the brightening ingredient hydroquinone, guiding practitioners on its effective use in treatments and we address the specific concerns of patients with darker skin tones on page 30. Delve into the intricacies of the skin microbiome on page 38, where we explore how you can assist patients in caring for this small but mighty aspect of their health. Personalised treatments take centre stage on page 40, with a focus on the significance of tailoring techniques to the unique needs of each patient.
On page 24, Erin Leybourne visits our cover star, Dr Patrick Treacy at his Ailesbury Clinic in Dublin. For those who have ever questioned the true cost of discounted treatments, turn to page 12 to delve into the nitty-gritty of pricing in the industry, providing valuable insights for practitioners and patients alike. On page 18, experts weigh in on the trending lipolysis treatment 'Lemon Bottle,' offering a comprehensive overview of its benefits and considerations. Dr Antonios Petrou-Amerikanos takes us through the evolution of PDO threads in a comprehensive review on page 32.
