The UIME & AAAM
In European countries such as France, Italy and Spain, medical schools teach basic medical aesthetic as Europe was historically the birthplace of aesthetic medicine ever since Dr. J.J. Legrand, the French endocrinologist, coined the term 'aesthetic medicine' in the early seventies. In response to such aforesaid trends, in 1975, a consortium of doctors, including Dr Michel Delune, a Belgian dermatologist, founded one by one, the national societies of aesthetic medicine in France, Belgium, Italy and Spain and, finally in 1975, the Union Internationale de Médecine Esthétique (UIME) was formed. Today, UIME has 31 member-country organizations and 35,000 members. The UIME gathers a community of physicians and medical experts, from all over the world and of different specialties who are involved in aesthetic medicine practice and issues, as a new medical specialty meeting the needs of the global community.
AAAM is dedicated to providing doctors with training on the foundation of the science and art of aesthetic medicine. The practice of aesthetic medicine is not the sole prerogative of any single medical discipline. Yes, there are doctors who devote wholly to aesthetic medicine practice just as there are others who apply aesthetic medical procedures alongside their respective fields of medicine.
