AESTHETIC PROCEDURES

Aesthetic dermatology, also known as cosmetic dermatology, is a part of medicine that focuses on improving the appearance of the skin, hair, and nails. Aesthetic dermatologists use non-invasive or minimally invasive procedures to enhance a patient’s appearance, such as reducing wrinkles, smoothing skin texture, or improving skin tone.

Unlike medical dermatology, which primarily focuses on treating skin conditions, aesthetic dermatology is more focused on enhancing the overall appearance of the skin. Common aesthetic dermatology procedures include Botox injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser treatments.

Botox injections can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralysing the muscles that cause them. Dermal fillers are popularly used to add volume and plumpness to the skin, particularly in areas that have lost volume due to ageing. By gently removing the top layer of the skin, chemical peels improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of blemishes. Laser treatments can be used to address a variety of concerns, including hair removal, skin resurfacing, improving vascular lesions and treating scars.

Aesthetic dermatology is not just about improving the appearance of the skin; it can also have a significant positive impact on a person’s mental health and self-esteem. Patients who feel self-conscious about their appearance may benefit from aesthetic dermatology procedures, which can help them feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.

Overall, aesthetic dermatology is a valuable tool for improving the appearance of the skin, hair, and nails and can help patients feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin.
