The birth and exponential growth of aesthetic medicine has been phenomenal. Recent technical innovation in aesthetic devices and products, coupled with an ever-increasing awareness of physical appearance and a rise in disposable income has boosted the demand for this field of medicine beyond all expectations. Its market size is presently valued at USD 60 billion and is anticipated to continue to expand at a CAGR of 10%.


Now comes a book, written by one of the pioneers of this field of medicine who started one of the first aesthetic clinics in the world from his apartment in Dublin in 1999.

    To begin I don't tend to write reviews on books, however, after reading Dr. Treacy's latest book on the Evolution of Aesthetic Medicine I felt compelled to do so.
    Dr Treacy goes back to aesthetic treatments done in ancient Egypt right up to the latest advancements of aesthetic medicine. He tells of Charles Darwin's facial feedback hypothesis and how it relates to botulinum toxin. The engaging stories and cases make it a very easy and enjoyable read.
    I highly recommend this book to anyone in the aesthetics industry or anyone who loves to devour insightful and fascinating content!

  • Dr. P. Druggan

    I am a 58-year-old man, short and bald. I never really thought about aesthetics - I'm a scientist, and 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 as if it is a thriller. There are too few books that cover such scope and too few on aesthetics that approach his degree of accuracy and objectivity. I put it down, and thought about booking a fruit acid peel!!!!
