Welcome to the February 2024 issue of Aesthetic Medicine Magazine
DEAR READERS,
Welcome to the vibrant and diverse February issue of Aesthetic Medicine Magazine, where we celebrate the richness of our community and explore the latest trends, cutting-edge treatments, and insightful discussions shaping the aesthetic medicine landscape.
Our cover star this month is the esteemed Dr Ali Ghanem, a trailblazer in the field of aesthetic medicine, who will be chairing the regenerative stream at Aesthetic Medicine Live at Olympia London in May.
This month, we delve into the theme of empowerment and diversity. On page 12, uncover how overcoming adversity can be a catalyst for personal strength and growth, and how embracing diversity enhances our collective superpowers. On page 44, we provide insights into making clinics more inclusive for both neurodiverse patients and staff.
Our trend spotlight this month looks into the surge in consumer media interest surrounding facial balancing, shedding light on the techniques and benefits. Dr Sindhu Siddiqi examines the benefits of incorporating ultrasound into skin tightening treatments on page 30 while we unravel the intricacies of scalp health and hair growth on page 34. Our Women in Aesthetic Medicine podcasters share their thoughts on women's voices in a male-dominated industry on page 48.
We have just closed our entries for this year’s Aesthetic Medicine Awards, and you can meet the distinguished judging panel on page 18, offering insight into the industry's benchmark for excellence and the importance of recognising outstanding achievements.
We hope you find this issue both informative and inspiring as we celebrate the diversity that makes our industry unique.
