With so many providers offering treatments like injectables, laser skin resurfacing, and body contouring, it can be challenging to choose the one with the expertise and skill level you deserve. At Capital Laser & Skin Care, our cosmetic dermatologists are medical doctors qualified to improve your skin at a deeper level. The difference is clear in our treatment strategies and your final results.Â
What is Cosmetic Dermatology?
Cosmetic dermatology is a branch of the dermatology medical field. Dermatologists are medical doctors (MDs) or doctors of osteopathy (DOs) with years of additional training focused on the hair, skin, and nails. Cosmetic dermatologists have specialized in treatments and care that address aesthetic skin and hair concerns. At Capital Laser, our cosmetic dermatologists work with a team of other highly trained skincare experts.
What Treatments Does Cosmetic Dermatology Include?
Because so many concerns can affect your skin, cosmetic dermatology can include many different treatments. These categories give you an idea of the many options these skin specialists provide.Â
Injectables
Injectable treatments for lines and wrinkles, volume loss, or enhancing your facial features typically include neuromodulators like Botox® and dermal fillers. These treatments are used for many purposes and are popular for their anti-aging results and lack of downtime.Â
Laser Treatments
Laser technology for cosmetic treatments has expanded and improved dramatically, but not all providers have the same level of skill or the same laser systems. We offer advanced options like the Fraxel® Dual laser as well as others that vary in intensity and which concerns they treat.Â
Facial Treatments
With so many options for facial treatments, we recommend letting a cosmetic dermatologist develop a treatment plan for your needs. Facial treatments can include anything from chemical peels and BBL photo facials to microneedling and skin tightening. These treatments can range from mild and refreshing to intensive resurfacing.
Body Treatments
We treat the skin on your body with as much care as your face, which includes treating concerns like cellulite, skin laxity, and pigmentation problems. Body contouring treatments like CoolSculpting® can also help you achieve your aesthetic goals noninvasively.Â
Hair Treatments
When people think of dermatology, they think of skin. However, hair is part of this specialty, so we offer hair treatments, including PRP injections and comprehensive hair restoration plans that use oral or topical medications. We also offer laser hair removal for those with the opposite concern.Â
Why See a Cosmetic Dermatologist
Achieving the best results means finding the right provider. While this may seem difficult, you can easily narrow down your decision by seeing one that has board-certified dermatologists on staff. These medical doctors have the level of training and expertise you want from the person who will help you work toward your goals.
