Reasons To Consider Cosmetic Dermatology

Cosmetic dermatology is a form of dermatology (a branch of medicine focused on diagnosing and treating skin conditions) that focuses on the aesthetic enhancement of the skin. Cosmetic dermatology uses different forms of medical-grade, minimally invasive treatments to improve the condition of your skin. These treatments can help to make skin look more youthful by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, brightening and revitalizing the skin, and resolving skin imperfections. Some cosmetic dermatology treatments include BOTOX®, JUVÉDERM® and other tissue fillers, chemical peels, and IPL Photorejuvenation. Unlike conventional cosmetic treatments such as regular spa services and over-the-counter skin creams, cosmetic dermatology focuses on creating long-lasting results delivered through professionally administered treatments and the use of medical-grade skin care products.

The Benefits Of Cosmetic Dermatology

Minimal Down Time
Unlike surgical procedures such as face lifts, cosmetic dermatology doesn’t require extensive recovery. Some treatments may need time for recovery or for optimal results to be apparent, but the healing process will be fairly quick and easy. Many cosmetic dermatology services allow you to go right back to your regular routine as soon as they are completed.

Natural Appearing Results
Cosmetic dermatology techniques offer noticeable results that still appear natural. Because cosmetic dermatology is not as invasive as plastic surgery, treatments deliver beautiful results without seeming to indicate there has been any surgical intervention.

Long-Term Benefits
Unlike a basic facial that helps to refresh the skin for a few days, cosmetic dermatology goes deeper. Cosmetic dermatology works to create results that last for at least several months, with several treatments needing only occasional touch-ups to maintain results.

Effective Products
Cosmetic dermatology doesn’t only include in-office treatments. Medical-grade skin care is also important, and you can take home a variety of highly effective skin care products recommended by your skin care professional. These products can be helpful on their own, but they can also help to prolong the results of in-office treatments. These advanced cosmetic dermatology skin care products also help to boost the health of your skin to keep you looking younger, for longer. Through the regular use of medical-grade moisturizers, sunscreen, and serums, you can prevent sun damage while maintaining skin elasticity as you age.

High Safety Standards
Although you will need to tell your skin care specialist if you have any skin concerns or conditions that may influence your treatment, cosmetic dermatology is a safe form of skin care and rejuvenation. Because this type of skin care is minimally invasive, there is a reduced risk of infection or complications during or after procedures compared to plastic surgery. Cosmetic dermatology practices are also held to a higher standard than day spas, as practitioners and facilities in this field need to adhere to medical regulations. All equipment at a cosmetic dermatology facility is guaranteed to be sterilized after every use and the staff is highly trained and knowledgeable to ensure every client receives professional, safe, and personalized treatment to deliver the best results possible.
