TOP 5 Medical Aesthetic Treatments in Malaysia

The popularity of minimally invasive aesthetic treatments has risen significantly in the last century and is not showing any signs of leveling off. Several advancements have been made in the field of aesthetic medicine, and this has seen the introduction of a broad range of aesthetic treatments that target to overcome the common signs of aging. However, a large proportion of patients are not aware of most of these treatments. There is no specific data that shows the most popular aesthetic treatments in Malaysia, and we feel that this trend is somewhat similar globally. However, we believe that the trend of aesthetic treatments in Malaysia follows that of the Americans. With reference to data from the 2017 report published by the Americans Plastic Surgery Society. Here is what we believe to be the TOP 5 aesthetic treatments performed in Malaysia. 

#5: Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a common treatment among the many aesthetic treatments in Malaysia. Is often descript as “sanding” the topmost layer of the skin. It is administered as a procedure for treating uneven skin pigmentation, acne scars, dull skin tone and improving skin texture. The removal of the topmost skin layer makes way for new and smoother skin cells. This treatment is safe, comfortable and does not have any downtime. However, microdermabrasion may result in scarring or unwanted discoloration for individuals who have darker skin. Therefore, it is crucial to allow a well trained and certified medical practitioner to undertake proper skin assessment before going for this treatment.
