The cosmetic consultation: A first and fundamental step to your most radiant, beautiful skin
The reflection you see staring back at you in the mirror results from many different things. Your skin can truly reflect what is happening inside and provide some clues into the health of your thyroid, liver, and other bodily organs and systems. Furthermore, how you protect your skin from environmental stressors such as UV radiation can either help or hinder your skin’s appearance, feel, comfort, function, and health. And, generally, many habits and behaviors that fuel a healthy body also fuel beautiful skin and an attractive appearance.
The cosmetic consultation at Bluebonnet Dermatology of McKinney, Texas, is fundamental to this journey to better-looking and healthier skin. Our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Huayi Zhang, accounts for the many factors that contribute to the appearance of your skin. Only then can Dr. Zhang make the most appropriate treatment recommendations and suggestions for products, therapies, and regimens that improve or eliminate the appearance of many signs of aging or sun damage.
What do you do during a consultation ?
The consultation is just the start of our partnership with you. Before your appointment, be prepared to discuss your goals for cosmetic treatment. Also, be ready to discuss your current skin care regimen and any vitamins, medications, and supplements you may be taking. The information we collect about lifestyle factors is just one aspect of our complete and comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Zhang will layer this information into a full examination of your skin, taking special care to evaluate any specific trouble spots or areas of concern. She will also complete a medical review and history to account for comorbidities or allergies. Photos may also be taken, and as a specialist, Dr. Zhang has considerable diagnostic technologies onsite to take a closer look at your skin and trouble areas – effectively seeing more than what can be visualized or detected with the unaided eye alone.
What treatments might be best for me ?
This varies greatly and is highly specific to the individual. We can have two patients with the same exact skin or aesthetic concern. Only one patient may be a better candidate for laser resurfacing. In contrast, another may be better suited to resurfacing with dermabrasion or chemical peels due to differences in skin type, tone, and other characteristics unique to the patient and their skin. Recommendations will be based on your unique needs, goals, motivations, physical characteristics, and personal preferences.
What do you offer at Bluebonnet Dermatology for skin improvement ?
