ABOUT

“Global Aesthetic Medicine Market revenue is expected to cross USD 18.5 billion by 2024. Rising consciousness toward physical appearance, increasing disposable incomes, development in less invasive treatments and continuous advancement in healthcare facilities have substantially impelled the overall aesthetic medicine market growth” Global Market Insights Inc

Aesthetic medicine - A business world buzzing with expansion and excitement in South Africa!

In recent years, South Africa has evolved into one of the biggest emerging markets in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine.

The needle is progressively replacing the scalpel.

The industry is increasingly growing as consumers, both modern women and men, are becoming more educated and open to aging intervention. They are more accepting to this ‘era of glamour’ and are increasingly seeking aesthetic treatments that are getting more affordable, requires no downtime, have a lower risk, non or modestly invasive but effective - all for the purpose of decreasing the normal effects of aging.  

Aesthetic medical treatments can also transform lives of victims of violent injuries, accidents, burn and birth defects.

Mail & Guardian (M&G) will host a half-day forum, bringing industry experts, practitioners in aesthetic medicine and professionals in the healthcare, beauty, skincare and wellness industries to engage, discuss new trends, advances, business opportunities and future of aesthetic medicine.
