The aesthetic medical area is one of those industries that everyone is watching, with every year, the American, European and UK societies of plastic surgery, dermatology and other cosmetic societies reporting on the growths of the past year and their expected trends. This data is very helpful for a number of parties involved. First, for doctors, as they like to see what others are doing and if they’re in line with the market. Second, for the companies involved in the industry, as this tells them where to invest in more marketing, research and development. Then, of course, its very interesting for the public to know what is new and trending out there.
