Aesthetics
Aesthetics is usually thought to be a branch of cosmetic medicine involved in helping to enhance the health and appearance of the skin. This is accomplished by many topical creams, serums, treatments and skin peels. In many practices, lasers are an integral part of the aesthetics program.
