Aesthetics is a relatively new but highly evolving branch of dermatology.
The focus of aesthetic medicine is the protection, maintenance, restoration and improvement of the appearance of the skin through medical procedures.
What are the most common concerns of patients coming to see our dermatologists?
Most often, patients complain of a change or loss of volume in an area or areas of the face, a change in skin elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles, pigmentation, dilated capillaries, and more.
What are the most common procedures that aesthetic dermatologists offer their patients?
Generally speaking, the procedures that aesthetic dermatologists practice can be divided into injectable and energy- or laser-based procedures.
What are the most common injectable procedures in our practice?
The most commonly used and administered injectable procedures in our practice are hyaluronic fillers, collagen-stimulating fillers, mesotherapies, skinbusters, and plasma-therapy(PRP, plasma-lifting).
What are the most common laser and energy-based treatments we use in our practice?
Some of the procedures we perform on a daily basis are HIFU(HIGH-INTENSITY-FOCUSED ULTRASOUND), IPL, Fraxel (CO2) laser, radiofrequency, and others.
What should a patient know and look for in their dermatologist?
In order to trust a doctor, a patient must be confident in the skills, qualifications and level of competence of the dermatologist in question.
First and foremost, the doctor's attitude and attention to the patient is key to an excellent outcome from a procedure. Any of the procedures listed above can lead to both great and disfiguring results, and in most cases it depends on the specialist performing it. My advice to patients is to trust a doctor who allows them to ask all their questions and answers them respectfully and accurately. Another important aspect is the results of the specialist. The doctor should be both a therapist and a counselor. Always choose a doctor whose results are natural and beautiful.
