WHY USE A DOCTOR FOR A SKIN CONSULTATION?

Although beauticians and other therapists have a wealth of experience in providing skin care therapies such as facials, they may not have the medical background that allows them to identify why your skin is presenting with the problems it faces. In contrast, a medic can perform tests and highlight signs that indicate the need for specific treatments. This means they will let your skin lead them to the product, rather than allowing the product itself to lead the way.

EXPERT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SKINCARE

It is often challenging to determine whether the conditions you are encountering arise from the skin’s upper layer or the next layer down. These are called the epidermis and the dermis. With a sound knowledge of anatomy and pathophysiology, the doctor leading your professional skin care consultations can highlight where the problem comes from. Afterwards, they will link it with a product that is relevant to your needs.

TREATMENTS THAT ARE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE

Sometimes, specific skincare products will make your cosmetic concerns worse rather than better. As such, turning to someone with medical expertise ensures you do not encounter the wrong ingredients or approaches. At the same time, if Dr Dhesi believes there is a non-cosmetic cause for your skin concerns, he will highlight them in the skin consultation and encourage you to seek treatment for your underlying condition.
