What is Aesthetic Dermatology?

 

Aesthetic Dermatology is a new and uniquely different dermatology practice, setting a standard for cosmetic dermatology in India. It is a group of treatments that are used to improve personal appearance rather than address an underlying disease. Some might argue that a few treatments that are classified as “cosmetic” are actually medical in nature, such as procedures for acne. The different types of treatments covered under aesthetic dermatology are chemical peels, wrinkle fillers, microdermabrasion, liposuction, enhancements, and laser resurfacing. 

While dermatology as a science focuses on healing your skin and hair, aesthetic dermatology is an arm of the science that emphasises on improving your appearance in regards to both. Aesthetic dermatology works to heal skin and hair concerns in a way that they appear healthier, even going as far as boosting self-confidence of patients who have been unhappy with the way they look.

While it may seem like the only things that affect your skin are external factors, your diet, internal wellness and mental health can all have just as much of an impact on it. The ‘integrative’ part of it implies making use of healthy diet modifications, including wellness practices such as ayurvedic treatments, yoga or TCM in your life along with doctor-prescribed skincare.

The combination of natural wellness therapies in tandem with allopathic medication make up Integrative Wellness Dermatology.
