Aesthetics

Aesthetics has become an increasingly important area of dermatology over the past decade. Aesthetics refers to cosmetic changes to the skin, such as wrinkles, fine lines, moles, hyperpigmentation, discoloration, acne, rosacea, scars, and other skin blemishes. Dermatologists specialize in cosmetic treatments and skin rejuvenation techniques that provide patients with improved facial aesthetic appearance that can lead to improved overall self-esteem and confidence. A number of non-invasive Dermatology treatments have become popular in recent years, such as dermal fillers, laser treatments, light-based therapies, and chemical peels. These treatments are applied directly to the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, spots, uneven skin tone, and other cosmetic blemishes. Fillers are injected to help add volume to the skin and results can be seen immediately. Botox and Dysport are also commonly used in cosmetic Dermatology treatments to provide muscle and movement relaxation. This can help reduce wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. Laser treatments are used to remove unwanted hair, reduce uneven pigmentation, and tighten loose skin. Light-based therapies use advanced technology to target both hyperpigmentation (sunspots, freckles, age spots) and skin discoloration, as well as to smooth wrinkles. Chemical peels are used to exfoliate the skin, removing the damaged outer layer and promoting the formation of new collagen and skin cells. These treatments can give the skin a more even texture and complexion. Dermatology treatments that focus on aesthetics can help patients look and feel better about themselves. Dermatologists utilize the most advanced technologies and procedures to address a wide range of dermatological needs, from aesthetic to medical. By addressing the cosmetic concerns of their patients, dermatologist can restore self-confidence, while also reducing any unwanted blemishes.
