  • Dr Patrick Druggan

    I am a 58 year old man, short and bald. I never really though about aesthetics - I'm a scientist, I'm judged on other things. I got a proof copy of this book and it was a very entertaining and informative read. Dr Treacey writes about medicine in an entertaining style. My 15 year old daughter really enjoyed it .There are too few books that cover such scope and too few on aesthetics that approach his degree of accuracy and objectivity. When I put it down, I had a greater respect for those involved in the industry, and a great deal more compassion for those who undergo procedures.

  • Casey

    “The Evolution Of Aesthetic Medicine” By Dr Patrick Treacy, is an interesting yet very knowledgeable book that I thoroughly enjoyed.
    Covering all aspects of Aesthetic medicine, its theory and history, it was one I had been looking forward to opening as an Aesthetician myself. I found each chapter equally absorbing and I was blown away with how much knowledge I walked away with. It is truly fascinating to read just how far this field of medicine has come, and also how much input Dr Treacy has had to this field. Well done Dr Treacy! I look forward to many more great reads to come.

  • Peter Velthuis

Always with the best interest for his clients in mind, he pioneered in many different directions and found creative solutions that are still used today. This book is a tale of his personal journey, but also of the evolution of cosmetic medicine in the past 30 years.

  • Dr Christopher Rowland Payne Dermatology Ltd

    Patrick Treacy is truly a pioneer of aesthetic medicine and has been personally responsible for many advances in the field. This book recounts not only his own enormous contribution but also the full story of aesthetic medicine.

    Did you know that the exciting story of the discovery of cosmeceuticals begins with the Mongol Hordes and did you know that Louis Pasteur and Charles Darwin influenced the development of aesthetic botulinum?

    The book begins with the history of botulinum, fillers and lasers. Then come the intriguing stories of chemical peels, fat removal, hair transplant and thread lifting. The story of vitamin D is particularly engagingly recounted. After a whirl through a number of other subjects, it ends with a well referenced bibliography.

    The author‘s fluidity and style of writing are most engaging and, as one reads, one has the feeling of being in the same room with him, as if he is speaking personally to the reader.

    Patrick Treacy is particularly well placed to be the one to write this story and this is clear from the photographs, which show that he has personally known many of the personalities about whom he writes.

    For anyone interested in our specialty and its origins, this is a book you will want to read. It will make a perfect present for a colleague or a delightful companion on a long journey to a distant holiday or, in Patrick’s case, a long journey to another continent, another congress and indubitably another well deserved accolade presented by justifiably impressed peers.
