Cosmetic Skin Treatments

Cosmetic skin surgery done by a dermatologist involves diagnosing and treating various skin, hair, nail and vein conditions, including benign growths, skins cancers, aging skin, unwanted fat, excess hair and varicose veins. Dermatologists are experts on living skin cells and are uniquely qualified to perform procedures that keep skin healthy, vibrant and youthful-looking.

The differences between a common plastic surgeon and a dermatologic surgeon are the techniques used. Dermatologic surgeons provide medically effective and cosmetically elegant results with minimally invasive surgeries in comparison to plastic surgeries. Today’s technology and recent advancement and refinement makes procedures in cosmetic skin surgery typically less intense, safe and the healing time is faster than ever. Furthermore, the entire procedure is performed at a physician’s office such as the Orlando Dermatology Center in Florida, which translates to cost-effectiveness and added convenience.

Common Cosmetic Skin Surgery:

-Anti-aging: Skin rejuvenation has been a key component in aging slower. The skin is the largest organ in the body and should be cared for regularly and properly. Topical products can be applied to the skin to achieve results over time but cosmetic skin procedures such as botulinum toxin, brow lifts, chemical peels, dermabrasion, eyelid surgeries, laser treatment, microdermabrasion, and soft tissue fillers can dramatically improve the appearance of skin.

-Age Spots and Birthmark Correction: Dermatologic surgeons have advanced the treatment of birthmarks and age spots (benign vascular and pigmented lesions) and can now treat every size, type and color on all parts of the body without scalpels.

-Chemical Peels: When treating wrinkles around the eye and mouth and skin discoloration or age spots, dermatologists will apply a special chemical solution to remove outer layers of aged skin. Fresh skin is generated over time that is smoother, less wrinkled and often more even in color. Dermatologists in cosmetic skin surgery have been perfecting these procedures for more than 50 years.

-Dermabrasion: Resurfacing the skin can be done with chemicals but in some cases of scarring, removing tattoos and minimizing age spots and skin growths dermabrasion is required. Dermabrasion mechanically smooths the skin to achieve a rejuvenated appearance.

-Hair Loss and Restoration: Dermatology is the only medical specialty that focuses on the biology of hair. Hair transplant procedures were invented by dermatologic surgeons back in the 1950s. Other hair restoration treatment uses scalp reduction, scalp extenders, scalp lift and scalp flaps.

-Laser Hair Removal: Laser technology has revolutionized the cosmetic practice of dermatologic surgery. The light-based technologies work by penetrating the melanin in the hair shaft and disabling the hair follicle.
