July/August 2025

The July/August issue of MedEsthetics shines a spotlight on two rapidly evolving areas of aesthetic medicine: laser treatments and men's procedures. This edition explores how electrolysis compares to laser hair removal and how AI is assisting non-physicians with adminstering them for dermatologic purposes. It also delves into the growing demand for men’s treatments—including sexual enhancement procedures—which are gaining mainstream traction. As male patients increasingly seek aesthetic and functional improvements, practitioners must approach their care with a deep understanding of male anatomy. From body contouring to intimate wellness, this issue provides insights, expert commentary, and emerging trends shaping the future of male aesthetics, including preventive behaviors.
