The
economy is seeing an upturn and so too is the aesthetic medical
industry. The ASPS published that cosmetic procedures, both surgical
and minimally invasive were up 5% over 2011. The IAPAM's Aesthetic
Medicine Symposium offers the most comprehensive, hands on, live
demonstration and didactic instruction in all of the top 5
non-invasive procedures that the ASPS reports on, and offers
unparalleled business support to physicians as they build successful
aesthetic medical practices and capture the continued growth in the
minimally-invasive market in 2013.
Las
Vegas, Nevada, USA - February 26, 2013 – Surgical procedures
grew only by 1% in 2012, but non-surgical treatments, such as botox,
dermal fillers and chemical peels grew by 6%. "More
people are turning to the more inexpensive non-invasive procedures
rather than surgical cosmetic procedures," says Jeff Russell,
Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in
Aesthetic Medicine (http://www.iapam.com).
"They may not get the long term benefits of a face lift, but
with a combination treatment of botox and dermal fillers, then can
get a great result at a fraction of the price." In the recent
report from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), there
were 13 million non-surgical procedures performed in 2012, and as in
2011, in 2012, the top five minimally-invasive procedures were:
-
Botulinum toxin type A (6.1 million procedures, up 8 percent)
-
Soft tissue fillers (2 million procedures, up 5 percent)
-
Chemical peel (1.1 million procedures, up 2 percent)
-
Laser hair removal (1.1 million procedures, up 4 percent)
-
Microdermabrasion (974,000 procedures, up 8 percent)
"For
the third consecutive year, the overall growth in cosmetic surgery
continues to be driven by a significant rise in minimally-invasive
procedures," confirmed Dr. Gregory Evans, MD, President of the
ASPS.
Jeff
Russell concurs. "We are hearing from our members that minimally
invasive procedures like botox and other cosmetic injectables,
medically supervised hCG weight loss (http://www.hcgtraining.com)
as well as laser treatments, microdermabrasion and chemical peels are
in tremendous demand by patients, and we are seeing a correlating
increase in the demand for our training. Registration for our
cornerstone training program, the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine
Symposium with botox training
(http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com),
has steadily increased in the last 6 months. Physicians are realizing
they not only need to offer botox treatments to their patients, but
also laser hair removal, IPL skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, and
microdermabrasion. Organizations, like the IAPAM, educate physicians
on how to package these treatments for the most appealing and
profitable outcomes."
In
line with these findings, the IAPAM's Aesthetic Medicine Symposium
provides a forum for physicians to immerse themselves in hands-on and
live demonstration training on these top 5 minimally invasive
procedures. Leading the faculty is a team of renowned,
board-certified cosmetic dermatologists who cover aesthetic patient
consultations, facial anatomy & musculature, product preparation,
pain management, procedural protocols, post treatment issues and
continuing practice support. Unlike other programs, the botox
training is done in a clean, multi-million dollar medical facility,
not a hotel room chair.
