Medical aesthetics is a non-surgical beauty treatment that does not involve incisions, surgery, or anesthesia, yet still improves skin structure, facial features, and body shape.
Beautiful and safe
According to the Dermatology and Burn Department of Bach Mai Hospital, an increasing number of clients are choosing non-invasive cosmetic procedures, and this demand is growing not only among women but also men. According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong (Dermatology and Burn Department, Bach Mai Hospital), this cosmetic method includes non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures such as chemical peels, mesotherapy injections, microneedling, botulinum toxin injections, filler injections; lasers, light and energy-emitting devices, and thread lifting. Compared to surgery, non-invasive procedures are less invasive, less painful, require a shorter recovery time, and clients can return to normal activities sooner.
Regarding the currently popular mesotherapy injection service in aesthetic medicine, Dr. Phuong explained that mesotherapy is a method using needles to deliver active substances into the dermis or subcutaneous fat layer. Depending on the client's wishes, the doctor will choose different nutrients to inject. Mesotherapy has diverse indications, such as skin rejuvenation, firming, and brightening; treating melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Mesotherapy is also applied to cases of cellulite, localized fat reduction, and improvement of stretch marks or scars, and stimulating hair growth.
However, mesotherapy injections, if not performed at a qualified facility, are highly susceptible to infection due to a lack of sterile conditions. Patients may also experience allergic reactions to the anesthetic or the injected substance.

Furthermore, mesotherapy is absolutely contraindicated for pregnant women, individuals with a history of cancer (when injecting substances containing growth factors); individuals with active skin infections; patients with blood clotting disorders; and individuals with a history of Herpes virus infection.
"Mesotherapy injections must be prescribed and performed by a doctor to select the appropriate active ingredient for the skin condition, ensuring effectiveness and safety. The doctor performing mesotherapy must be a specialist and certified to perform the procedure," Dr. Phuong noted.
Natural and sustainable
Regarding cosmetic procedures using fillers, one of the methods many people are seeking to fill deep wrinkles and fine lines, improve uneven skin texture, and address volume deficiencies, Dr. Phuong advises that choosing the right filler is crucial. The most commonly used filler in cosmetic surgery today is hyaluronic acid, available in various degrees of firmness. When injecting fillers, the doctor must have a thorough understanding of the anatomical characteristics of the injection area, including the skin layers, subcutaneous fat, and vascular and nerve structures.
"Perceptions of beauty vary from person to person, country to country, and race to race. We always aim for minimal filler injections to achieve maximum effectiveness, delivering the most natural and lasting beauty," the doctor stated.
Regarding botulinum toxin injections, Dr. Phuong explained that this method helps to remove wrinkles and reshape the face and body, for example, removing forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow's feet, and slimming the jawline. Botulinum toxin also helps reduce underarm sweating.
For the safety of the client, the expert's advice remains that the procedure must be performed by a qualified doctor who understands the access route and safe injection techniques, avoiding complications such as drooping eyelids and asymmetry.
"Medical cosmetic procedures, even minimally invasive ones, must be performed at a medical facility by a specialist," Dr. Phuong reiterated, emphasizing the crucial role of the performing physician. The doctor needs to have a thorough understanding of anatomical structure, injectable products, and injection techniques to ensure safety and achieve a balanced, natural-looking result for the client.
