Cosmetic Dermatology Specialist

What is cosmetic dermatology?

Cosmetic dermatology is a specialized branch of dermatology that incorporates nonsurgical treatments to enhance your skin’s appearance and minimize the signs of aging. Treatments are entirely tailored to you and are effective for targeting:

• Acne scars
• Stretch marks 
• Loose or droopy skin
• Fine lines and wrinkles

While cosmetic dermatology treatments are commonly requested for the face, neck, and décolleté, you can undergo treatments on other areas, too, including your arms or knees. 

Which cosmetic dermatology treatments are available? 

West Derm Center is home to state-of-the-art laser platforms, such as the Candela™ GentleMax Pro®, which can treat your skin and help you turn back the hands of time. Some of the most popular cosmetic dermatology services available include:

Skin tightening

Skin tightening with the GentleMax Pro exposes your skin to dual laser wavelengths. These columns of laser energy penetrate through the surface of your skin and gently heat up underlying tissues until they safely reach therapeutic temperatures. 

This mild warming effect stimulates collagen production. As new collagen forms after a series of treatments, it can easily stack snugly together. This effect tightens and firms your skin naturally, from deep within. Skin tightening is ideal for any area of concern.

Nonsurgical face-lift

A nonsurgical face-lift is a personalized service that incorporates one or more types of aesthetic treatments to lift your face and enhance your appearance. Your dermatologist at West Derm Center may recommend skin tightening laser treatments, Botox® injections, or even dermal fillers (like Juvéderm®) to help you achieve your goals, without surgical measures.  

When can I expect results with cosmetic dermatology treatments?

Because cosmetic dermatology services from West Derm Center are nonsurgical, no downtime is necessary. You may experience a little minor redness on the day of your treatment. 

Whether you’re having laser or injectable treatments — or both — it may take a week or two for you to start noticing the results you want. For laser treatments, a series of sessions over the course of several months is usually necessary to achieve optimal results.
