Dermatologists are in great demand these days. It is not just for common skin problems that people make a beeline for them, but nowadays it is more to do with beauty and skin care. With the emphasis of modern society being on acquiring young and beautiful skin, more and more men and women are seeking the services of dermatologists. Even among dermatologists it is the anti-aging physicians to whom people are flocking. People are prepared to shell out big bucks for the sake of their looks because they feel that these treatments do wonders for their appearance. Some common treatments in the skin care field that are administered by anti-aging physicians are given below. Injectable treatments have become very popular these days. Botox and Restylane are on the top of the list among these, as people try hard to get rid of wrinkles. With similar prices of about $300 to$500 per shot they are expensive. Botox works by paralyzing the nerves in the face that are responsible for causing wrinkles. So, after this treatment, a person will lose the capacity to wrinkle the area. However, many people are fine with this side effect and opt for Botox. Restylane is a transparent gel that is injected into the area to be treated where it works by plumping up the wrinkled part so that the skin appears smooth. It can also be used to give a fuller look to the lips. Anti-aging physicians also undertake chemical peel treatments. Using caustic ingredients the skin is burnt so that new and fresh underlying skin is revealed. These peels have different strengths depending on which the recovery time will range from a few days to weeks. Lunch time peels are a treatment where there is practically no time required for the skin to recover. It is important to be aware that after chemical peel treatment exposure to the sun is to be avoided as sun during the recovery phase can lead to brown spots on the skin. It is evident that these treatments must be carried out by expert anti-aging physicians otherwise they could lead to serious consequences like scarring or skin burning. There are some treatments that can be tried out at home too. Anti-aging physicians prescribe Retin- A and Glycolic creams which are very popular. Retin –A is used to treat acne as well as wrinkles, a boon for women suffering from both these problems. Initially, this treatment could cause inflammation and extra sensitivity in the skin but soon you will find your skin take a fresh, vibrant and young look. So, for a beautiful and youthful skin look no further than an anti-aging physician’s office. | ||||||||
