DEAR READERS
Welcome to the May issue of Aesthetic Medicine – a particularly exciting edition as we prepare to meet many of you in person at Aesthetic Medicine London on May 9-10, held again at the iconic Olympia.
Whether you're joining us at the show or reading from your clinic or couch, this issue is packed with insight, innovation, and inspiration.
In this issue, cover star Dr Shirin Lakhani leads the way (p18), sharing her work at the forefront of intimate health and aesthetics (and her adorable dog, Loki). We also research non-surgical options with Carly Musleh’s study on fat-dissolving injectables (p22), and Dr Ian Strawford offers a practical review on managing rosacea using LED (p29).
Surgical trends come under the microscope too, with a look at the shift towards preservation techniques and hybrid approaches (p34), while regenerative medicine takes centre stage in our column with nurse Claudia McGloin (p38).
As ever, we explore the issues impacting the aesthetic sector today. Cheryl Barton calls for policy reform (p43), Russell Stephens opens up a vital conversation on supporting staff through baby loss (p50), and Antonia Mariconda addresses the dangers of counterfeit products and misinformation in the industry (p69). Plus, don't miss my review of the latest Cutera XEO+ Genesis treatment at Time Clinic (p52) – a fascinating experience with promising results.
With so much happening both on the floor of Olympia and within these pages, I hope this issue offers you knowledge, connection, and fresh perspective – wherever you’re reading from.
See you at the show!
Warm regards,
Anna Dobbie Aesthetic Medicine • Editor
