What is an Aesthetic Doctor?

[trp_language language=”en_US”]

Aesthetic Doctors are general practitioner medical doctors who have a special interest in aesthetic medicine which includes non-invasive and minimally-invasive procedures such as Botulinum toxin injections, dermal fillers, chemical peels, and aesthetic laser.

An Aesthetic Doctor can’t perform major surgeries such as breast implants. Their field of focus is the rejuvenation of ageing or damaged skin, such as wrinkles, volume loss, sagging, acne, rosacea, and pigmentation disorders like melasma. Many Aesthetic Doctors offer skin consultations and treatment, as skin conditions tend to go together with aesthetic procedures.

Medical aesthetics?

Broadly speaking, medical aesthetics includes all medical treatments that are focused on improving the cosmetic appearance of patients. Medical aesthetics sits in a beautiful little niche in between the beauty industry and plastic surgery. Qualified doctors, nurses, or dentists can provide a multitude of stunning tweakments to improve your appearance.

These tweakments require a high degree of skill, training, and knowledge of your anatomy and physiology. This is what separates medical aesthetic treatments from beauty treatments like eyebrow threading, waxing, or eyelash extensions. On the other hand, medical aesthetic treatments are not as aggressive as surgical interventions (aesthetic medical treatments are sometimes referred to as non-surgical cosmetic treatments), which includes procedures like facelifts, breast augmentations, or liposuction.

What Does an Aesthetic Doctor Do?

An aesthetic physician provides cosmetic medical services to patients. Your duties and responsibilities vary, depending on the nature of your job. A cosmetic surgeon performs elective surgery to improve the appearance of different body parts. Some surgeons focus on a specific procedure, such as liposuction, breast augmentation, or facial enhancements. An aesthetic physician can also focus on dermatology and offer therapies, skin grafting, and injection services for patients with skin conditions. Regardless of your area of specialization, you work with each patient to assess their needs and ensure that they are good candidates for the desired procedure or treatment.
