In What's Trending in Aesthetics? we discuss the topics doing the rounds on social media, in injector forums and in the news: the controversies, big stories and themes getting our industry talking.

In Chapter 12 we discuss the decline of HA filler use around the world and the rise of biostimulators, and predict a potentially serious problem this trend could create.

We reflect on how these trends intersect with market consolidation and the pressures on clinics and suppliers, the risks of counterfeit devices and products, and the shifting role of pharmaceutical reps.

We finish by exploring the ramifications of the FDA's decision on compounded GLP-1 medications in the USA.
