What to consider when you’re choosing a cosmetic dermatologist
When it comes to your appearance, you deserve nothing less than the best. When you are considering who to entrust with your cosmetic skin care, it is essential to do your research. Find someone who has an in-depth understanding of the facial anatomy and who is skilled and experienced in using the latest cosmetic treatments to help you achieve natural-looking, stunning results. Below, Dr. Amanda Lloyd, a board-certified dermatologist in Encinitas, California, outlines the factors you should consider when choosing a cosmetic treatment provider.
Staying up-to-date with the latest cosmetic advances
Aesthetic technologies, materials, and methods all advance rapidly, and it is essential to work with a dermatologist who stays current on the latest options. Dr. Lloyd is an expert in the cosmetic dermatology field, offering cutting-edge therapies that provide natural results along with a good value for your investment. She stays up-to-date on the latest research by attending lectures and reading peer-reviewed literature. She also contributes to the field by actively writing textbook chapters and journal articles, acting as a journal editor, and giving lectures.
Education and training
Unfortunately, many providers in the cosmetic industry are not equipped with a deep understanding of facial anatomy, aging processes, and treatment modalities. In this case, the phrase “you get what you pay for” particularly rings true. Dr. Amanda Lloyd is board-certified in dermatology and micrographic dermatologic surgery and has undergone four years of specialized training in the skin but has also undergone additional training (called “a fellowship”) in:
- Aging
- Lasers
- Mohs micrographic skin cancer surgery
- Veins
Dr. Lloyd is board certified in Micrographic Dermatologic Surgery which makes her among the few with the board certification for Mohs surgery. She is also a diplomat of the American Board of Venous and Lymphatic Medicine, enabling her to treat venous diseases with therapies that improve your appearance and provide relief from uncomfortable symptoms.
Entrusting your appearance to a qualified professional
While it may be possible to find anti-aging treatments that cost less at other providers, we believe it is worth the investment to work with someone highly skilled and educated to help you achieve the best results so you can always look stunning.
