BCAM reveals most commonly performed treatments in 2020
The British College of Aesthetic Medicine (BCAM) has released its 2021 Annual Clinical Review, covering treatments performed by its members between January and December 2020.
It found that the top five most performed treatments were botulinum toxin injections, HA dermal fillers, mesotherapy, PRP and laser/ IPL, respectively.
The audit covers just shy of 299,000 individual treatment sessions conducted by 340 clinicians. While the College didn’t release individual treatment numbers, it did reveal that 147,000 of these sessions were for toxin injections. The audit also found a 50/50 split between female and male member practitioners and a wide representation of nationalities from across the globe practising in Britain.
Data from BCAM’s Annual Clinical Reviews is shared with the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) to help guide and inform government thinking around the field of aesthetic medicine.
BCAM president and Aesthetic Medicine editorial board member Dr Uliana Gout commented: “The College is pioneering data collection, sharing insights and trends with stakeholders including the DHSC to pursue its charitable aims of patient education and safety.
“BCAM is the only professional body that collects data on this scale and we are proud to be leading with facts, not opinions, making evidence-based decisions about BCAM’s strategies and informing the wider aesthetic medicine community about our members’ clinical activity.”
