We have helped countless adults living in and around Reston, VA, feel more assured and confident in their appearance with the help of cosmetic dermatology. Of course, we understand that you may have questions about the procedures and treatments we offer. The dermatologists at Dermatology Specialists of Virginia are always here to answer any questions you have. We’ve wrangled up the most frequently asked questions about cosmetic dermatology to help provide you with a little more information before coming in for a consultation.

What are fillers and which one is right for me?

fillers are popular injectable treatments that are used to treat lines and wrinkles. Fillers add volume to thinning areas of the skin to help plump up the face to make it appear younger. Dermal fillers are great for treating deeper wrinkles.

What can a chemical peel do for my skin?

A chemical peel is a great option if you are looking for a deep-cleaning cosmetic treatment that removes the outermost layer of the skin to reveal healthy new skin. It’s great for treating everything from acne and uneven skin tone to fine lines, wrinkles and superficial scars.

What are the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedures?

Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, our dermatological team is able to provide a variety of non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic treatment options that deliver fast, effective results with shorter treatment times and little to no recovery.

We understand that everyone has different needs when it comes to the treatment and care they receive, even cosmetic treatment, and if you’re looking for a way to get more youthful skin without having to undergo more invasive procedures, we would be happy to discuss chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapies and other minimally invasive options with you.

What types of cosmetic issues and concerns can a dermatologist address?

Along with standard skin issues such as acne or psoriasis, a cosmetic dermatologist can also treat esthetic problems that affect the appearance of your skin. Whether you are dealing with wrinkles and fine lines, a double chin, skin discolorations, or acne scarring, the team at Mindful Dermatology has the cosmetic treatment that can help to reduce the appearance of these common skin problems and help you achieve more radiant and healthier-looking skin.
