Metabolic syndrome (MS) is defined as a complex of metabolic, hormonal and clinical disorders based on insulin resistance (IR) - decreased sensitivity of human body tissues to its own insulin and compensatory hyperinsulinemia (HI) - increased production of insulin by the pancreas. In the English-language literature, the term β€œsyndrome X” is used as a synonym for metabolic syndrome.

Interest in metabolic syndrome is constantly growing, due to a number of reasons. Firstly, new information is being accumulated about the patterns of its development. Secondly, the attention of practitioners to this pathology is increasing due to the fact that MS is a high risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease (CHD).

In cosmetology and aesthetic medicine, the presence of MS can affect the effectiveness of various correction programs.
