Innovation and Advancement in Aesthetic Devices

The market for aesthetic devices and the treatments done with it is one of the fastest growing markets in Australia and rest of the world and is estimated to reach an $11.9 billion mark by the year 2020. Over the last few years, several device based therapies have emerged including skin tightening, non-invasive fat reduction, hair removal and tattoo removal in the aesthetic arena. While the emphasis is on certain procedures only, gradual improvements are occurring. Therefore, it is important for owners of multiple devices and the manufacturers alike to consider the growing influence and potential of these devices.    

Here are few of the advancements made in the aesthetic devices field.

·         Skin Tightening

Although the concept of skin tightening has aroused the interest of the device using community, the technology gains have outpaced clinical outcomes as far as predictability and patient satisfaction. In recent years skin tightening has seen several developments. Initially, skin tightening methods involved painful procedures and caused side effects but with advancement in technology, the new age machines like IPL machines, Radio Frequency (RF) and Infrared (IR) are being used. These powerful machines offer impeccable results in few short pain-free treatment sessions. 

·         Fat Reduction

While gradual improvements have brought skin tightening more into the popular fold, even widespread of late is a non-invasive fat reduction. Several technologies are on the market like Cool Sculpting, Ultrasound, Radiofrequency and Tru-Sculpt. Recently joining this already crowded space is the Cryo Slim device by Australian Aesthetic Devices which combines RF and Cavitation for fat freezing. The machine is equipped with intelligent software allowing control during simultaneous procedures. Each of these technologies offers slightly different methods of action towards achieving the same goal of non-invasive fat reduction.
