Beauty And The Blog

Have you been to have your yearly exams, you know, the ones we all dread and yet are so necessary? I hope you do have those yearly exams, your life could very well depend on it.

But while you were there, did you see something new that you had not seen before? Such as an advertisement for cosmetic procedures that you would not normally find in this particular setting? I did. Made me wonder.

Did my Doc go back to school, get licensed in another specialty? Cosmetic Dermatology or Plastic Surgery perhaps? Why would he/she do that? Is Women’s Health no longer lucrative?

Or is there a specialist coming in on certain days to administer these cosmetic procedures? Because only a specialist in Cosmetic Dermatology or a Plastic Surgeon should be performing injections of Botox, Restylane, Juvederm or any such facial filler. These products need to be very specifically placed and it takes knowledge other than how to handle a hypodermic needle to do this. Not to mention extensive knowledge of all side effects and how best to handle each one.

Would you enjoy having an eyelid drooping because Botox wasn’t perfectly placed in the exact amount for your particular issue? Or how about a little miss in filling that frown line or wrinkle? It’s still there but the skin next to it is unnaturally full…. oops. Me, I wouldn’t like it.

Sure, if I was going to have a cosmetic procedure done it would be great to have one stop shopping, but at what risk? Is your personal schedule so tight that you can’t see the proper specialist to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Don’t you want one of the best in the field to be your adviser in skin rejuvenation?

If you are thinking of using anything other than facials and wrinkle reducing cosmetic products check this out. It’s a post I found on the CNN website you really must read before using anyone other than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Cosmetic Dermatologist for procedures or injections. Please read, your health depends on it.
