In a recent study published in the October issue of Dermatologic Surgery, researchers from institutions across the country asked 561 physicians in primary care, family medicine, and internal medicine residency programs to select which specialists were the most qualified to perform different skin procedures and non-invasive cosmetic surgeries.
Their choices: dermatologists, plastic surgeons, ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialists, and ophthalmologists. The majority responded that dermatologists are the best to do these procedures, which include many of the top non-invasive cosmetic procedures like Botox, Dysport, dermal fillers (Juvederm, Restylane, and Radiesse), as well as lasers for skin, hair, and tattoo removal. Shouldn’t you select the same type of physicians that other physicians deem the best to focus on and do these types of procedures?
