Introduction
Welcome to the first edition of the Consulting Room Magazine for 2024.
The start of a new year is always a time for reflection and looking ahead, and from a market perspective, it’s a time when key trends for the future are identified. Right now is an exciting time in aesthetics because we are on the precipice of some major shifts driven by consumer demand and emerging new areas.
We are seeing a move away from the terms “anti-ageing” and towards wellness and longevity. Consumers want to age well, and as such, regenerative treatments and prerejuvenation are emerging as trends. We are also seeing traditional standards of beauty being replaced by individualisation and treatments that honour identity.
As part of our trends special, we have rounded up some of the key industry reports looking at the latest shifts in the industry. From Hamilton Fraser’s annual survey (p8-9) to The Galderma NEXT report (p20-23) and the Menopause in Aesthetics trends report (p24-26), we’ve got the latest insights covered.
As well as this, we take a look at some of the latest trending treatments, from polynucleotides (p29-30) and weight loss injections (p32-34) to our CPD article on regenerative treatments for menopause (p40-45) and exosomes (p58-61). What’s more, Dr Patrick Treacy gives his insights into a worrying new trend for dermal filler complications (p48-52).
We hope you enjoy this issue of the Consulting Room Magazine. Let us know what trends you are most excited about for 2024.
