People care about looking good for themselves and others. Sometimes makeup is not enough to cover some flaws, which is why some opt for aesthetic medicine services. These services have to be performed by a highly trained doctor. If you get an amateur, you may be disappointed with the results. SafiraMD Medical Aesthetics and Wellness Center doctors recommend confirming whether they are licensed. You can do that by visiting the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) website.

What kind of aesthetic medicine services can patients consider? Without further ado, here are five of them below.

Microneedling

In this procedure, doctors use thin needles to make tiny holes in your skin’s top layer. It is suitable for reducing wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. Once the holes have been made, your skin begins to heal by producing two proteins; elastin and collagen. They help to keep your skin smooth and firm.

This procedure is not only for cosmetic purposes but medical reasons. You can consider this service if you sweat excessively or have hair loss. Sometimes, doctors can deliver certain vaccines to your body through this method.

Body Contouring

The purpose of this procedure is to reshape your body by getting rid of excess fat and skin. Since it aims to restructure your body, you cannot lose weight through this method. Doctors employ different techniques in body contouring, such as laser lipolysis, cryolipolysis, and injection lipolysis.

Since this procedure is mostly non-invasive, you can go home the same day. Before you leave, your doctor will ask you to stay away from the sun, use prescribed medications, and report any complications.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections

In this procedure, doctors extract platelets from your body and inject them into the appropriate target. Most patients go for the jabs when they experience muscle, ligament, and joint injuries. However, you can rely on the injections to boost hair growth and eliminate wrinkles.

Generally, PRP injections speed up what you are trying to achieve. Since you are not introducing foreign objects into your body, your immune system will not fight against your platelets.

Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a procedure in which doctors remove your skin’s top layers by applying a chemical solution. After the removal, your skin grows back smoother. Chemical peels are suitable for treating acne, fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.

Doctors may use light or deep chemical peels. The former is ideal for wrinkles and acne because they only remove the skin’s outer layer. As for the latter, it removes deeper skin layers to eliminate deeper scars and precancerous growths.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injections given to smooth lines and plump up wrinkles. This procedure stimulates collagen production, which improves your skin’s appearance, hence reducing the appearance of aging.

This procedure has some risks, so it is important to tell your doctor if you have any allergies, skin conditions, or neurological issues.

Some people are reluctant to visit a doctor for cosmetic procedures. One reason is the chance of botched surgeries that make the person appear uglier. That tends to happen because the procedures are invasive. Since aesthetic medicine is mostly non-invasive, you do not need to worry about any backfires.

You no longer need to live with acne or wrinkles thanks to these five services. We are not addressing people who have embraced their skin flaws. Some know that others have accepted them despite having wrinkles or stretch marks.
