1) Aging
Aging is inevitable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do something about it; there are treatments that can minimize or even reverse the effect of aging on your skin. One of the common side effects of aging is bags under the eyes. A dermatologist can reduce the size of these bags and even-out the area. Wrinkles on the forehead and around the mouth can also be decreased through chemical peels and other treatments.
2) Pigmentation Problems
Pigmentation problems can result from scars and birthmarks. A cosmetic dermatologist can treat these issues by using laser therapy to break up areas of pigmentation, creating a more even coloring in the affected area.
3) Cellulite
One of the more common aesthetic problems that patients want treated is the appearance of cellulite. Using procedures such as light therapy and massage, dermatologists can reduce the appearance of cellulite and smooth-out skin.
4) Hair Removal
From shaving to tweezing, hair removal is a daily ritual for most people. Affected areas include the face, legs, nose, and ears. A cosmetic dermatologist has access to methods of hair removal that are permanent, using lasers to get rid of unwanted hair at the root. Affected areas might be as small as the upper lip or as large as a patient’s entire back. Either way, these techniques are safe and effective and can give patients long-lasting results that they can’t get at home.
This is by no means a comprehensive list. There are numerous problems that a cosmetic dermatologist can address, giving patients better and smoother skin tone and correcting imperfections. All of these treatments are geared toward helping people feel better about the way they look, boosting self-confidence..
