Frequently asked questions about cosmetic dermatology services in Needham, Massachusetts

Cosmetic Dermatology Services in Needham Area

When it comes to addressing imperfections of the skin and body, many patients turn to the team at Essential Dermatology of Needham, Massachusetts, to learn about the options available to them. We work alongside our patients to ensure we can meet–and exceed–their needs with our cosmetic dermatology services. From facials to laser therapies, we can clear your skin and help you look and feel your absolute best with aesthetic treatment options.

What are some of the more commonly requested cosmetic dermatology services at Essential Dermatology?

Our providers are often asked about the following treatments at our office:

  • Chemical peels. Chemical peels are a popular option for improving skin texture and tone. During the treatment, a solution is applied to the face, resulting in the top layer of skin peeling off and revealing smoother, more even-looking skin underneath.
  • Botox injections. Botox is utilized by our team to temporarily paralyze specific muscles in the face that cause dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. It is commonly used on areas such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and even frown lines between the eyebrows.
  • Dermal fillers. Quality dermal fillers are used to add volume and fullness to areas of the face that have lost elasticity or structure due to aging or other factors. They reduce the appearance of wrinkles, plump up lips, and enhance facial contours.
  • Laser therapy. Laser treatments can also be utilized to address a variety of skin concerns, including acne, sun damage, and even fine lines. They work by targeting specific areas of the skin with concentrated beams of light, stimulating collagen production and improving the overall skin texture and appearance.
  • Microneedling. This minimally invasive treatment uses very tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, which then triggers the body’s natural healing response and promotes collagen production. It improves the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.
