The Good, Bad and Ugly about the Latest Dermatological Treatments



With all the cutting-edge treatments available today, it’s truly incredible what your dermatologist is capable of doing for you. Problems such as acne, scars, wrinkles, fine lines and other problems can be virtually eliminated with the right treatment.
Of course, every treatment has its pros and cons, and it’s worth careful consideration of each before moving forward with some of these treatments. Here are a few quick things to consider about a few cutting edge treatments before discussing it further with your doctor.

#1 Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is a cutting edge treatment that can help with everything from acne scars to sun damage and age spots. When used properly, it can even out skin tone, remove wrinkles, enhance the production of collagen and give the skin a healthy glow. However, the treatment has been known to be a bit uncomfortable and comes with a risk of scarring or skin discoloration. The treatment also may not be as effective as the patient and doctor desires.

#2 Dermal Fillers
A dermal filler is an injection of medicine that’s used to plump up the face to remove lines, wrinkles and other facial imperfections. While it can be quite effective in the hands of a highly trained physician, the results are highly dependent on his or her skill level. What’s more, the results of dermal fillers may look great in the short term, but they tend to wear off in anywhere from 6 to 18 months. They also carry some risk of side effects, including bruising and swelling.

#3 Botox
Like dermal fillers, Botox is injected into the face. But it’s a different type of medication. Rather than “fill in,” Botox stops the movement of the muscles in the forehead and around the eyes. This allows those areas to heal and repair themselves due to the restricted muscle movement. Some physicians are using Botox on other areas of the body, however, such as around the mouth where it’s really not approved for use. This is where you start to see problems like an asymmetrical face or drooling become issues.


#4 Cosmetic Surgery
Technology and possibilities from cosmetic surgery are evolving all the time. Now, when it comes to changing the appearance of something on your face or body, the sky’s the limit. Of course, no dermatological treatment offers a higher risk/reward ratio than cosmetic surgery. When performed well by a competent surgeon, the results can be nothing short of incredible. Of course, we’ve all seen the disastrous results that can occur when things go wrong.
