The Future of Aesthetics: What Really Changed in 2025 (And What’s Coming in 2026)

What’s actually shaping the future of cosmetic medicine—and what’s just hype? In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn breaks down the biggest aesthetic trends of 2025 and gives a candid look at what’s likely coming next in 2026, drawing insights from RealSelf’s latest annual trend report. From the growing shift toward more natural-looking treatments like fat-based fillers to evolving breast implant techniques, Dr. Youn explains what’s driving patient demand behind the scenes. He also dives into how GLP-1 weight loss medications are changing the landscape of body contouring, why minimally invasive procedures continue to dominate, and how regenerative medicine is opening new possibilities in aesthetics. Plus, we explore the surprising (and rapidly growing) role of AI in cosmetic treatments—and what that means for both patients and practitioners. Whether you’re considering a procedure or work in the aesthetics space, this episode offers a smart, honest look at where cosmetic medicine is headed—and how to navigate it with confidence. 🔗 Links and Resources: 📍 Sponsors: Check out BON CHARGE's Red Light Mask to support collagen production and improve your skin!
