What is Advanced Medical Aesthetics?

Medical aesthetics is a branch of medicine that focuses on improving the cosmetic appearance of patients through the use of medical and cosmetic treatments. These are referred to as non-surgical treatments and are typically non-invasive or minimally invasive and less aggressive compared to surgical interventions.

Medical aesthetics sits in a beautiful little niche in between the beauty industry and plastic surgery. These treatments require a high degree of skill, training, and knowledge of your anatomy and physiology.

It’s important not to confuse aesthetic doctors with dermatologists and plastic surgeons, although some dermatologists and surgeons may also practice aesthetic medicine. While dermatologists and plastic surgeons have specific training paths and qualifications in their fields, aesthetic doctors are also medically qualified doctors but may have trained in various specialties or earned additional degrees or diplomas in aesthetic medicine.

Aesthetic medicine is a cutting-edge and rapidly expanding field of medical practice. The increasing demand for aesthetic treatments is driven by their effectiveness and the excellent results they provide. While aesthetic procedures were once kept private, more and more patients are openly discussing their treatments and bringing the field into the public eye.

Why Choose SOMA MD – Medical Aesthetics Doctor for Treatments?

There are several reasons why someone might choose a medical aesthetics doctor for aesthetic treatments. As a medical aesthetic doctor, I offer the following for my patients at SOMA MD:

• Expertise: Specialized education and training in aesthetic medicine, so I have a thorough understanding of how different treatments can affect the body and how to achieve the desired results.
• Safety: Follow strict safety protocols to ensure that treatments are performed safely and effectively. Safety and natural outcomes are very important for all our patients at SOMA MD.
• Professionalism: As a licensed medical professional, I adhere to a high standard of professionalism and are held to legal obligations that help to build trust with my patients.
• Personalized care: Taking the time to understand each patient’s specific needs and goals and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results.
• Comprehensive care: Extensive medical training to consider the body as a whole and can provide a range of treatments to address multiple concerns, resulting in a more comprehensive and holistic approach to care.

Opting for aesthetic medical treatments by a medical doctor gives you piece of mind knowing that you are receiving safe, premium care.
