What does physician-directed aesthetic dermatology cover?

Physician-directed aesthetic dermatology addresses common skin conditions and appearance concerns while prioritizing skin health. Depending on your needs, it may include assessment and treatment of acne or acne scars, eczema, hyperpigmentation or melasma, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), hair loss, and benign skin lesions. It can also include procedures such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and medically supervised injectables.

What's the difference between neuromodulators (botulinum toxin) and dermal fillers?

Neuromodulators (such as botulinum toxin) relax specific muscles to soften expression lines and can also be used for certain medical indications like hyperhidrosis. Dermal fillers add or restore volume to support facial contours or fill lines. Both are medical procedures that require an individualized assessment, appropriate product selection, and trained injection technique.

Can botulinum toxin be used to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)?

Yes. For some people with focal hyperhidrosis (commonly underarms, hands, or feet), botulinum toxin injections can reduce sweating by blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. Results are temporary and may require repeat treatments. A clinician will confirm the diagnosis, discuss expected duration, and review potential side effects such as bruising or muscle weakness in the treated area.

How is melasma or hyperpigmentation usually treated?

Treatment starts with confirming the diagnosis and identifying triggers (for example, sun exposure, hormonal factors, or skin inflammation). Plans typically include daily sun protection and may include prescription topical therapies or procedures aimed at evening skin tone. Because irritation can worsen pigment in some skin types, treatment should be tailored and monitored by a qualified clinician.

Are dermal fillers safe, and how can patients reduce the risk of complications?

Dermal fillers are medical procedures. Temporary swelling, redness, or bruising can occur, and rare but serious complications are possible if filler affects a blood vessel. To reduce risk, choose a qualified medical injector, review your medical history and allergies, and avoid injections in non-medical settings or with unregulated products. Seek urgent care if you develop severe pain, skin colour change, or vision symptoms after treatment.
