Abstract
ABSTRACTObjectiveThis article provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in cosmetic dermatology and aesthetics. It covers topics including dermal fillers, botulinum toxin (BTX anti‐aging cosmeceuticals, artificial intelligence (AI) applications, and energy‐based devices.MethodsThe review summarizes the current literature on dermal fillers, BTX, cosmeceuticals, AI applications, and energy‐based devices. It explores emerging technologies, new treatment methods, and ongoing research in these areas. The sources of data include peer‐reviewed journals, clinical trials, and expert opinions to provide a thorough understanding of recent developments and future trends.ResultsDermal fillers, particularly hyaluronic acid (HA), are popular in cosmetic treatments, with innovations like Bioorthogonal strategies and thiomer‐based technology emerging. Biostimulators such as poly‐l‐lactic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite promote neo‐collagenesis. BTX remains a cosmetic standard, with new recombinant toxins, hybrid BTXs, and delivery methods enhancing safety and efficacy. Anti‐aging trends include cellular senescence‐targeting treatments like exosomes, NMN, and PDRN, which need further validation. AI improves diagnosis, personalized treatments, and patient consultations but faces data privacy and bias challenges. Advanced energy‐based devices (RF, HIFU, lasers) and treatments like cryolipolysis and MFU‐V enhance skin rejuvenation and body contouring.ConclusionRecent advancements in cosmetic dermatology and aesthetics, including innovative dermal fillers, BTX developments, anti‐aging cosmeceuticals, AI applications, and energy‐based devices, are transforming the field. These innovations provide enhanced treatment options and improved patient outcomes, although further research is necessary to validate efficacy and address emerging challenges. The future of cosmetic dermatology is promising, with ongoing technological advancements driving continuous improvements in aesthetic medicine.
