The economy has the cosmetic plastic surgery business sagging and in need of a real lift.   The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) recently released some concerning statistics about the cosmetic plastic surgery business

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the lotion formulation of adapalene (Differin 0.1 percent, Galderma) for the topical treatment of acne in patients age 12 and older, Medscape Today reports.FDA approval was based on data from two 12-week, multicenter clinical trials of 2,141 patients with 20 to 50 inflammatory and 30 to 100 noninflammatory acne lesions at baseline.

The International Association of Physicians In Aesthetic Medicine ( IAPAM ) offers the industry’s leading training for physicians new to botox and dermal filler treatments.  The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium offers the most comprehensive medical and business training for doctors looking to add aesthetic medicine to their existing practices, or to launch a new medical spa. All hands-on training at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is completed in a clean, multi-million dollar medical facility.   In the recently released statistical report  by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery ( AAFPRS ), the number of non-invasive cosmetic procedures performed in the United States increased by 47 percent from 2008 to 2009.  “The results show a continuation of the trend, where consumers are opting to have less invasive procedures to look and feel refreshed

The number of non-invasive cosmetic procedures rose 47 percent according to new survey results released by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS).

A procedural survey conducted by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery says more than 17 million cosmetic surgery procedures were performed in the United States in 2009. The total number of procedures from this first-time study far surpasses any number that has previously been reported in the U.S
