The
economy is seeing an upturn and so too is the aesthetic medical
industry. The ASPS, ASASP and the AAFPRS published that in 2012
cosmetic procedures, both surgical and minimally invasive were up
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 these aesthetic
medical association report 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 - May 3, 2013 – The American Society of
Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reported that "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 ASPS, there were 13 million non-surgical procedures
performed in 2012, and 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.
Equally,
reports from the American Academy of Facial, Plastic and
Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) confirms the increasing popularity of
non-surgical treatments, notably, the number of men having botox,
which was up 27% from 2011, with hyaluronic acid fillers and
microdermabrasion also among the most popular maintenance treatments.
Finally,
the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) echoes the
findings of the other aesthetic medicine and cosmetic surgery
societies. "There were over 10 million surgical and nonsurgical
cosmetic procedures performed in the United States in 2012. Surgical
procedures accounted for 17% of the total number of procedures and
61% of the total expenditures, with nonsurgical procedures making up
83% of the total number of procedures and 39% of total expenditures,"
and again, botox led the way in the number of procedures performed.
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.
