How To Plan Your Next Visit To A Cosmetic Dermatologist

With summer almost here, skin problems are inevitable. Our top cosmetic dermatologists are here to help. always come with dry and patchy skin but during the summers, excessively oily skin is your number one nemesis.

It’s no secret that there is room for improvement in our beauty regime. From sensitive dry skin to hormonal acne breakouts, we all need to consult a dermatologist from time-to-time.

However, if it is your first time consulting one or you’ve recently moved to the Big Apple, it’s understandable that you have a number of questions. The experience will vary from individual to individual but here’s what you should know before your first appointment:

  • Pre-Planning Questions Are Useful

We often times forget about the questions we plan to ask our dermatologist because we’re too focusing on our skin-related problems.

Therefore, jot down questions you need to ask beforehand. This will help you cover everything. Be sure to ask yourself what specifically you wish to change about your appearance. If you have any concerns, also write those down.

  • There are Two types of Dermatologists: Medical and Cosmetic

Before you book an appointment, you first need to analyze the problem and see which type of dermatologist you should seek help from.

If it’s an odd-shaped mole, you need to consult a medical dermatologist and get tested for skin cancer. Similarly, if you suffer from eczema, a medical dermatologist will be able to provide you with the advice you need.

On the other hand, if you need to know how you can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, a cosmetic dermatologist will be able to help. You should do some research to look into which procedures and treatments might be able to help you achieve the appearance you would like. In our blog, and across the Internet, there is a wealth of information about dermatology which compares and contrasts different treatments to help patients understand which is best for them.

For example, if you are considering body sculpting to remove stubborn fat, we encourage you to read our article about the differences between SculpSure, CoolSculpting, and other procedures. Or, if you are curious about Botox and fillers for removing wrinkles and helping you look like you’re in your 20’s again, we wrote a blog post comparing Botox and facial fillers. You may also view this infographic we created about the differences between facelifts and dermal fillers.

Getting cosmetic dermatology is a process that requires the patient to be as informed as possible. We seriously encourage you to read and share content which may help someone make an informed decision.

Cosmetic dermatology involves two types of methods for treating patients: invasive and non-invasive.

Facial peels and laser treatments are non-invasive treatments, whereas, plastic surgery is not.

  • What You Should Look for When Choosing a Dermatologist

What makes a professional a professional is their certification. If you’re looking for a dermatologist, make sure they are board-certified. This is because it’s imperative that they have special training, education and skills when dealing with skin-related conditions.

A dermatologist—especially a medical one—knows how to look for skin cancer symptoms because sometimes, it can be difficult to tell. As for cosmetic dermatologists, they are aware of treatments that will help reduce signs of ageing—depending on your skin type.

We are a dermatology facility that offers non-invasive solutions to individuals seeking help for various skin conditions. If you are looking for a dermatologist in New York City, contact us today!
