The UK medical aesthetics industry has been significantly growing over the years, with new products and treatments hitting the market regularly, the sector is always evolving in an attempt to keep up with demand. But what does that look like in terms of numbers?

In the UK, 1 in 4 people experience mental illness each year. With only 36% of referrals for psychological therapies being for men, it’s important to understand not only the gender disparity in accessing healthcare for mental health issues but what could be influencing mental illness in the first place so that interventions can be put in place by healthcare providers.

It’s widely known that the Medical Aesthetics industry is tailored towards women, as the majority of patients looking for treatment are female. However, there has been a shift and growing trend of men seeking medical aesthetic treatments, meaning there is untapped potential in the market for clinics to expand their business.

Medical wellness is becoming a growing trend that many aesthetics clinics are beginning to embrace, allowing them to offer a holistic approach to the health of their patients. Medical wellness focuses on long-term health, looking at how the internal affects the external, providing a huge opportunity for medical aesthetic clinics.
