Dermatology or Aesthetic Medicine: Which Should You Choose?

aesthetic medicine

You know you want to enhance your appearance. But you don’t know where to start. You have an understanding of dermatology. But what about aesthetic medicine? Which is right for you? At Peachtree Dermatology, we’d like to clear up any confusion so you can get the best possible care. You should be happy to know that we offer both right here in the comfort of our office.

What is Aesthetic Medicine?

When deciding whether to pursue dermatology or aesthetic services, you need to first understand what aesthetic medicine is. Aesthetic medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on enhanced cosmetic appearance. This is achieved by treating such conditions as scars, sagging skin, liver spots, excess fat, spider veins, wrinkles, moles, excess hair, discolored hair and more.

When Should I Consider Aesthetic Services?

These services are ideal to help you deal with mild-to-moderate skin care issues. Treatment will start with a thorough skin care analysis to help you understand your skin type. The type of skin you have will drastically affect the type of skin care products that will treat your condition

We can also offer a customized, professional facial that is unique to your type of condition and skin type. Treatments can include chemical peels, exfoliation and extractions. In some cases, they may suggest laser treatments to shrink your pores and stimulate collagen growth.

What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a doctor who has attended college and medical school and completed a residency after that. In total, they have a minimum of 12 to 14 years in higher education and in-depth medical training. They are experts in hair and nails, as well as skin. Moreover, they can prescribe skin care treatments to patients.

When Should I See a Dermatologist?

You should visit a dermatologist if you need a prescription to treat your acne or any other skin condition you may have. You should also visit a dermatologist when aesthetic medicine isn’t enough to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Depending on what skin flaws you’re trying to treat, you may need to see both an aesthetician and a dermatologist. The dermatologist can prescribe you medications to treat your symptoms. At the same time, an aesthetician will discover the root cause of the symptoms and treat the problem.

Finally Felt Heard

by Derian Wylonda Patterson

Dec14,2023

I am astonished and happy to report that my visit/visits to this practitioners office has been positive and encouraging She listened, so offered medical evidence and offered a plan of attack to address my problems. Not like the young Dr, I had the displeasure of seeing months before Mrs. Wright. Dr.'s like her are few and far between. I enjoy and have enjoyed the service and the atmosphere there.

Very Satisfied

My first encounter with Dr. Law was very satisfactory: I consulted her for an annual checkup since my previous dermatologist is now too far from my current location. Dr. Law was very pleasant and thorough; an additiodnal plus was a very short waiting time.
