What Is a Cosmetic Dermatologist?

If you want the best-looking skin or you want to try an antiaging treatment, a cosmetic dermatologist is a medical expert you need to see. While a general dermatologist is perfect for diagnosing and treating skin and hair conditions, a cosmetic dermatologist specializes in areas such as reducing acne, making your skin look younger, improving thinning hair, and removing spider veins. Dr. Michael Saruk is a cosmetic dermatologist at Delaware Valley Dermatology Group in Wilmington, DE.

What a Cosmetic Dermatologist Can Do for You

As well as general dermatology diagnosis and treatment, Wilmington patients who visit doctor Saruk can choose from the following cosmetic procedures:

  • Wrinkle relaxers: This includes Botox, Dysport, and Juveau treatments to reduce the early signs of aging.
  • Dermal fillers: Juvederm Ultra, Juvederm Ultra Plus, Voluma, Vollure, and Restylane are used to reduce wrinkles around the eyes and mouth and forehead.
  • Laser hair removal: This procedure can be used on the arms, legs, chest, and bikini line.
  • Aesthetic peels: Glycolic and Salicylic peels can be used to reduce sun damage, age spots, and acne scars. They also leave the skin looking fresh and glowing.
  • Facial contouring/skin tightening: Micro-needling techniques or Clearlift can be used to resurface the skin and provide a non-invasive means of rejuvenation.
  • Removal of spider veins: Sclerotherapy is a non-invasive way to remove spider veins. It involves the injection of a chemical into the affected vein. This causes the veins to shrink so that they are no longer visible.
  • Removal of skin discoloration: VBeam treatment can be used to eliminate skin redness caused by acne or rosacea. MedLite can be used to remove brown or dark areas of discoloration.
