Aesthetic medicine
Aesthetic medicine is a term used for medical care that uses various techniques to improve people's appearance. In contrast to aesthetic services or treatments provided at facilities such as beauty salons, aesthetic medicine can only be carried out with medical licenses. Medical aesthetics treatments generally involve surgical procedures and non-surgical procedures such as treatments of dermatology and internal medicine. 
Aesthetic surgical and non-surgical procedures
The typical aesthetic surgical procedures include face and head surgeries, for example for eyelids, or body and extremities surgeries such as breast and liposuction treatments. Non-surgical procedures consist of treatments like injectables including Botulinum Toxin (Botox), facial rejuvenation, and hair removal. In recent years, one of the most performed surgical procedure in Japan was eyelid surgery, while hair removal topped the list of non-surgical medical procedures.
