The increasing acceptance, availability and affordability of many minimally invasive cosmetic treatments has fostered what Sander Gilman, PhD, an American culture and literary historian, has named the \u201cEra of Glamour.\u201d This era ushers in the premise that medical aesthetic treatments are part of a normal routine that works to maintain a natural and healthy appearance.1 Following are some of the current trends in the field of aesthetic medicine, as well as a look to what its future may hold.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Injectables on the horizon<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nFacial injectables continue to dominate the medical aesthetic treatment market. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videoshelf.com\/botox_injections_training.html\" target=\"_blank\">Botulinum toxin<\/a> and hyaluronic acid injections were the top two nonsurgical cosmetic procedures according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) National Data Bank Statistics. Many of the injectable manufacturers, such as Allergan and Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, have initiated direct-to-consumer<a href=\"https:\/\/www.videoshelf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/needles.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-317\" title=\"needles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.videoshelf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/needles-150x150.png\" alt=\"Learn how to Inject Botox\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> marketing campaigns to further substantiate their market position. These include branded messages and products, such as print advertisements, television commercials and patient brochures. A recent example of these campaigns would be Allergan\u2019s \u201cExpress Yourself\u201d promotion featuring its product Botox Cosmetic.<br \/>\nThere are currently two botulinum toxin Aproducts undergoing U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) trials. Medicis has recently submitted a biologics license application for Reloxin, which has been rejected by the FDA due to administrative deficiencies. The company refiled biological license application in March 2008. The typical response time frame is 10 months for approval. Mentor Corporation recently announced the approval from the FDA for phase III clinical trials for its botulinum toxin product PureTox. A unique feature of PureTox is its stability and ability to be stored at room temperature. PureTox is expected to receive FDA approval in late 2009 or early 2010.<br \/>\nThere are many hyaluronic acid fillers currently undergoing FDA trials. These include a small gel particle <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videoshelf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/majidcuinject.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-318\" title=\"majidcuinject\" src=\"https:\/\/www.videoshelf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/majidcuinject-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Restylane Dermal Filler Injection Technique\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>filler, a filler specifically designed for lip enhancement and a large particle-size gel used for facial fat loss replacement. There are a number of hyaluronians formulated with lidocaine currently under trial and other long lasting hyaluronians are under consideration, as well. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videoshelf.com\/restylane_injections_training.html\" target=\"_blank\">Restylane injections<\/a> , J<a href=\"https:\/\/www.videoshelf.com\/juvederm_injections_training.html\" target=\"_blank\">uvederm injections<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videoshelf.com\/radiesse_injections_training.html\" target=\"_blank\">Radiesse injections<\/a> are three of the most popular and effective fillers.<br \/>\nThe baby boomer demographic will continue to be the major consumer of medical aesthetic services, with Generation X not too far behind. There will also be a general trend toward health and wellness within this demographic. Anti-aging and wellness medicine will become more prevalent as people strive to look as young as they feel. The ideal, successful anti-aging center will recognize the synergy between aesthetic and anti-aging medicine, and provide strategies to optimize health, longevity and self-image. Centers that incorporate a menu of services which address the internal as well as external signs of aging will thrive.<br \/>\nAesthetic medicine will continue to expand as the baby boomers and Gen-Xers age. This expansion will foster the advancements in effective technology, devices, products and treatments. Certainly the best is yet to come in terms what will be available to patients in anti-aging and medical aesthetic enhancements throughout the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>This article was originally published in the September 2008 issue of <a href=\"http:\/\/skininc.com\" target=\"_blank\">Skin Inc.
