Dr. COSTI’S TOP COSMETIC DERMATOLOGY TRENDS FOR 2016

• April 16, 2018

The year 2016, the biggest trends in the world of cosmetic dermatology have continued to not only grow in popularity but are also on high demand. With recent and latest technologies associated with minimally invasive techniques, more and more people have started enlisting for these services which result into a youthful and more refreshed appearance that diet and exercise cannot offer. Many cosmetic dermatologists are sure that more people in the coming years are going to sign up for these treatments that have been popular this year.

• Kybella

This is the only FDA-approved treatment that is administered through a series of injections. It is used to remove fat buildup that leads to double chins. The treatment leads to the body absorbing the fat cells resulting into a gradual but noticeable transformation.

• Radiesse for hand rejuvenation

Bulging veins and hollows on the back of the hands are common signs that can be improved by this method. Radiesse is also FDA-approved and it’s a dermal filler that is designed to improve volume loss in aging hands with remarkable results. The treatment safely restores suppleness of the skin that has been damaged by the sun, removes spots and smoothens poor skin texture.

• Body cool sculpting

This is a technique that is used to remove stubborn fat buildup on the tummy, upper arms, thighs and under the chin. An example of this treatment is Cool Mini which is used in body contouring where fat cells are cooled to a low temperature, in the process killing them while leaving the tissue around untouched.

• Earlobe treatment

With heavy earrings worn by women having done some considerable damage on the earlobes, these treatments have become convenient and increased in popularity. They usually aim at restoring and repairing the skin on the earlobes as ear plugs are increasingly going out of fashion.

• Stretch mark laser treatment

Stretch marks usually lead to low self esteem in a person. Lasers are very effective at removing scars and discoloration brought about by stretch marks. Lasers work by isolating a beam of light thereby inducing remodeling and collagen growth that can improve the texture of the skin.

• Micro needling

This procedure involves the use of needles to puncture the skin to create a controlled skin injury. New collagen is then produced which ultimately improves the skin firmness and texture and also reduces pores, scars and stretch marks.
With the popularity of these techniques growing every day, cosmetic dermatologists have opined that the number of people seeking their services is set to grow because of the social acceptability of the procedures and the minimal recovery time.
