What can an aesthetic doctor do for you? That depends on your body and the issues you have with your body, since there are so many services that can be provided by a doctor in this specialty. To give a basic overview of what these doctors can provide to various patients, consider a quick overview of five of the most popular services offered today. Not all aesthetic doctors may offer all of these services, but the best trained professionals will offer at least most of them.

1. Ulthera

Ulthera is known as the lunchtime facelift, because it can give instant results of a facelift without any cutting into your skin. This is an ultrasound treatment that can be used on patients concerned with sagging skin in the forehead, chin, and other areas. If you see folds developing under your chin or feel your skin is starting to drop as you age, this could be an alternative to having a facelift. It is easier, more affordable, and includes much less pain than plastic surgery.

2. Botox/Microbotox

When you smile, cry and respond to other emotions throughout your lifetime, small lines develop around your eyes, mouth and other areas of the face. Injections of Botox can be used to fill in these lines so they are not visible. This is not a permanent aesthetic procedure, but it is one of the most affordable and simplest procedures offered by aesthetic doctors today.

3. Thermage

This is another aesthetic treatment that can be considered a minimally-invasive facelift treatment. It is another option if you are considering a real face lift surgery, since it is less painful and more affordable. The goal of this treatment is to lift and tighten the skin, so sagging is not as apparent.

4. Sculptra

This is another injection offered by aesthetic doctors. Rather than just filling in lines like Botox, Sculptra can actually replace collagen. Collagen is lost over time, and that is one of the main causes of sagging skin that makes you look years older than you should look. Injections of Sculptra can replace collagen, holding skin in place so there is less sagging to deal with. This treatment can be used to enliven and rejuvenate multiple areas of the face.

5. SpectraPeel Pore Reduction Laser

There are two modes of treatment with this laser procedure, so there are a few conditions that can be treated effectively:

* Uneven skin pigmentation
* Scars
* Acne
* Tattoos

This treatment can be used to lighten tattoos, or it can be used to lighten the scars left behind from severe acne. It may even be used to open and close pores, so it has the ability to help overcome severe acne conditions. Those dealing with uneven skin pigmentation are also successfully using this procedure through skilled aesthetic doctors.

These are just five of the aesthetic procedures being offered today. If you are interested in seeing what one or more of these procedures can do for your skin, find an aesthetic doctor in your local area and book a consultation. They will have to look at your skin to determine if you are well suited to the procedures you would like to have. Not all procedures are suitable for everyone, so the consultation is necessary.
