Your skin is the largest organ of your body. It is the most visible part of you to the outside world and for the most part, dictates your comfort level. People wanting to improve the appearance of their skin clearly value how it looks and would be devastated if there was a preventable accident with their cosmetic procedure.
The skin’s importance means that it makes sense to only ever trust it to a professional that has extensive training and qualifications, but people’s use of walk-in beauty salons sees this precaution go out the window. Using a qualified cosmetic surgeon for beauty procedures significantly reduces a procedure’s risk of complication.
Experience
To be a cosmetic surgeon you must have a surgical degree. This qualification gives you a firm grasp on the organ that is the skin and how to best treat it. Skin is so delicate and needs to be tended to carefully and personally. Reaching a certain level of qualification guarantees you have had a certain level of experience. The greater the training and range of experience, the greater the knowledge of how to deal with an individual’s situations and requirements.
Beauty salon staff are trained to deliver treatments like microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser, but the required level of training to become qualified doesn’t come close. The training teaches them how to deliver treatment, but doesn’t include in depth education about the skin they could be treating.
Education
Lack of education and training leaves beauty salon staff unable to respond to more technical questions from clients, or act appropriately in an emergency if somebody reacts to a procedure. An important factor in deciding who to go with when booking a cosmetic procedure is the level of care you receive before, during and after your visit.
Cosmetic surgeons and their wealth of knowledge and experience will be more equipped to answer any questions or concerns you have about the procedure, and advise you on the best way to look after your skin in the recovery phase. The ‘get in and get out’ mentality of beauty salons will see this level of care dwindle, often leaving their customers in the dark and confused about the best way to care for their skin after a treatment.
You should only ever entrust skin treatments to a qualified and experienced doctor. This will place your skin into the hands of someone that knows what they are doing and feel confident to administer your treatment. Treatments like microdermabrasion and chemical peels are perfectly safe given that they are administered by the right professional that can prevent damage during the procedure because they fully understand the risks involved.
