The Value of Dermatologists and Aestheticians

When it comes to skin problems, there seems to be no end to the amount of imperfections, conditions, and diseases that can plague our skin. For patients dealing with serious medical conditions or chronic issues that cause pain and frustration, it can be difficult to know where to seek the best treatment.

Dermatologists and aestheticians, though both dedicated to matters of skin health, have very different responsibilities. On their own, both these skin care professions offer unique benefits to patients, but it is the way these professions assist one another that can garner the most dramatic results.

At Dermatology Consultants, our team of highly trained dermatologists and aestheticians are trained to treat all skin conditions, as well as help patients improve their overall skin health, beauty, and vitality.

What Are the Differences Between Dermatologists and Aestheticians?

The most effective skin regimens are those that employ the use of both dermatologic and aesthetic services, but it is important to understand the difference between these two professions. One easy distinction is that dermatologists are medical doctors capable of performing surgical procedures, whereas aestheticians are more expertly trained in treating moderate and chronic skin conditions and ailments.

Both dermatologists and aestheticians must undergo rigorous training to be licensed to perform their duties. Skin conditions are often very sensitive matters and require proficiency to be handled in a competent and efficacious manner. This is why all of the dermatologists and aestheticians hired through Dermatology Consultants are closely vetted to ensure their dedication to their patients, as well as their abilities as trusted skin care professionals.

How Do the Services Provided by Dermatologists and Aestheticians Benefit Each Other?

At Dermatology Consultants, we offer our patients complimentary skin analyses. These analyses help determine any underlying factors that may attribute to skin conditions and diseases, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and – more seriously – skin cancer. Depending on what issues need to be addressed, our dermatologists and aestheticians work together in partnership to create detailed regimens for their patients. In cases where surgical procedures are needed to remove skin cancers or cosmetic injections are recommended to improve facial fullness or reduce wrinkling, dermatologists will guide their patients through every step in their treatment plan. Once performed, these dermatologic treatments can then be enhanced by the effects offered through aesthetic services.

Likewise, if patients who typically seek aesthetic services find themselves in need of a dermatologic procedure, their aesthetician will partner directly with a dermatologist to guarantee that all skin needs are taken care of and that the patient’s individual specifications are accounted for prior to their continued treatment.
