What is the difference between light aesthetic and medical aesthetics?
Short answer: Medical aesthetics is done by doctors and includes surgery and medical injections, with days to weeks of downtime. Light aesthetic is non-surgical beauty care by trained beauty therapists, using AI devices and serum infusion, usually with short downtime and a natural, gradual result.
Put simply: a visible change of features is medical aesthetics and needs a doctor; firmer, brighter, more elastic skin that still looks natural is what light aesthetic is for.
