Pituru1 1 Carol Davila University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 8 Eroii Sanitari, 050474, Bucharest, Romania Abstract New non-surgical esthetics is the most dynamic field in contemporary medicine. At the same time, it is greatly influenced by our contemporary society. This paper reviews modern methods used in non-surgical esthetics, especially in Romania. From injectology and non-surgical face lifting to non-surgical body contouring, we analyzed all procedures performed by Romanian physicians, and we show the advantages and disadvantages of the advanced esthetic procedures. Injectology typically implies hyaluronic acid, botox and mesotherapy (for wrinkles and rejuvenation). Laser and radiofrequency treatment are used for wrinkles as well, with fewer unwanted adverse reactions and results exceeding those of injectables. Non-surgical lifting has gained more ground because it requires little recovery time and the results are very positive. Elective treatment for facial discoloration is the laser approach. For non-surgical body contouring, cryolipolisis, vacuum, radio frequency, and infrared systems have all revolutionized this part of esthetics, but each has limitations, and only after establishing the correct course of action, might we think of achieving favorable results and thus raising to the expectations of patients. Keywords  Highlights ✓ Esthetic procedures should only be performed by the esthetic physician, and the central point is the patient’s interest and benefit. esthetic procedures, face lifting, body contouring ✓ It is important to take into consideration that each patient has a particular anatomy and unique facial traits, that one cannot become an exact clone of some stars, and that the result may very well be disadvantageous from the esthetic point-of-view.

Introduction Modern esthetics is the most dynamic field of contemporary medicine. At the same time, it is greatly influenced by the values of contemporary society. Very often patients enter the beauty clinic requesting to look like various stars: “I want to have lips like Angelina Jolie” or “breasts like Pamela Anderson,” and the list of examples could go on. Real trends in facial or body esthetics are born this way, however, not always with the expected outcome. When discussing outcomes, we must take into consideration that each person has his/her own particular anatomy and unique facial traits, that one cannot become an exact clone of some stars, and that the result may very well be disadvantageous from the esthetic perspective (1). To prevent such unwanted results, the role of the esthetic physician is of the highest importance due to the expertise in the field. Furthermore, financial benefit should not be placed above the interest to and benefit for the patient (2). Discussions Significant The present paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of the new contemporary esthetic procedures, and modern and contemporary methods used in esthetics, especially in Romania. three years, Juvederm manufacturers imposed the MD Codes system for the volumizing procedure, a revolutionizing injecting concept that brought benefits in the areas of safety and precision. This system permits the precise positioning of the HA in the election area, i.e., profoundly, the closest to the bone as possible. Here there are two of the most used products for volumetry: Juvederm Voluma and Teosyal Ultra Deep. The manufacturers of Teosyal marketed the RHA, the luxury range of products, where RHA 4 is an excellent facial volumizing product, extremely versatile, and well tolerated. The third place in women's preferences is the filling of the tear duct and the under-palpebral area, commonly known as the removal of the dark circles under the eye. When referring to the removal of the dark circles under the eyes, women have two different understandings: first, the filling of the wrinkles, and second, removal of the dark pigmentation around the eyes (6). The causes are different and thus they require different approaches. For patients that have The field of injectology The method of injectology is the most frequently used at present. This relatively new term refers to injecting deepened wrinkles under the eyes, with or without dark pigmentation, the injecting of HA is recommended – Teosyal Redensity 2, followed by Juvederm Volbela. Redensity 2 has the advantage of removing the dark pigmentation along with the volumizing effect (7). For patients that only present the dark pigmentation without grooves, HA is not indicated, and the elective procedure is hyaluronic acid (HA), botox, and other mesotherapeutic substances.
