The trend of people seeking minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures like injections, fillers and laser treatments is on the rise. Last year, more than 7 million people received Botox injections according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. It’s easy to understand why; women and men are working well into their 60s and 70s but still desire to look energetic refreshed and competitive.
We’re also living in the “selfie-era”, with the Kardashians and other celebrities posting their perfected visages across social media. People in their 40s, 50s and 60s are seeing more photos of themselves than they ever have in their lives. They see them posted on social media for the world to view in high resolution.
The desire to remain competitive and attractive without having to go under the knife is leading more women and men to seek out minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures. These types of therapies produce quickly visible improvements with appointments that take less than an hour to complete. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities on the same day or next day and look great.
While a quick online search will result in hundreds of “med-spas” offering “top treatments for bottom dollar”, the deep expertise and training of a board-certified physician is the responsible choice when choosing who to trust for enhancing your appearance. UT Health Dermatology is staffed with board-certified physicians who have years of experience and advanced training in the proper use of injections, lasers, lights and products for achieving a naturally attractive appearance.
For their patients, UT Health Dermatology has invested in new equipment that offer combination therapies to effectively treat a number of specific concerns. Each patient is provided a complete consultation where their cosmetic dermatologist thoroughly evaluates their unique needs before creating a custom treatment plan.
Dr. Vineet Mishra, Director of Mohs Surgery and Procedural Dermatology, explains the new equation for professional skin care: “Everyone’s skin is different, that’s why we’ve acquired devices that we can combine and tailor for each person’s skin by adjusting the fluence, spot size, pulse width and wavelength of the laser.”
Using the most advanced lasers, lights and FDA-approved products they are able to erase sun damage, treat acne, remove scars and unwanted hair, clear stretch marks and make cellulite and bothersome veins disappears, as well as correct discolorations.
