Dr Patrick Treacy has published a book covering the history of the discipline of aesthetic medicine.
Titled The Evolution of Aesthetic Medicine: The Evolution of a New Field of Medicine by a Pioneer Voted the Top Aesthetic Doctor in the World, the book provides a historical narrative of how botulinum toxin, dermal fillers and laser technologies made their way into the emergent field of aesthetic medicine and monitors its evolution into a separate faculty.
Dr Treacy said, “The term ‘aesthetic medicine.’ now encompasses a more generalised term covering procedures that tend to focus on altering cosmetic appearance.
“Traditionally, there has always been conflict as to which specialism owns this territory. It was only in the early part of the 20th century when some of these cosmetic procedures gradually were included in the medical discipline.”
