ALISO VIEJO, Calif. -- On March 6th the Aesthetic Buyers Guide and Medical Insight will present the newest innovations in aesthetic technologies, products and procedures via a highly condensed business development forum. Keynote speaker John Calcagnini, senior health care analyst at CIBC World Markets, will provide a Wall Street perspective of the aesthetic market and public companies.

"The annual Aesthetic Forum offers industry executives, investors and analysts an advance opportunity to evaluate numerous new companies and technologies that will make a major impact on the cosmetic procedure market in the near future," said Michael Moretti, President of Medical Insight, Inc. and Editor of the Aesthetic Buyers Guide. Mr. Moretti will present a market analysis and forecast related to emerging and high-growth aesthetic market segments, including: dermal fillers, body shaping and home-use aesthetic devices.

At the Forum, Mr. Moretti will review data from the new Global Dermal Fillers Market Study, published by Medical Insight, Inc., which forecasts a $1.5 billion market for these injectables. Other market research from Medical Insight will show that sales of body shaping devices are expected to exceed $500 million within the near future. And home-use aesthetic devices, which are already entering the consumer market, represent the next major opportunity for manufacturers.

"With a CAGR of 30% and procedure revenues estimated at $25 billion, the global aesthetic market is now attracting major healthcare companies that see the opportunity to grow this business into new areas," commented Mr. Moretti.
