The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) recently put together a panel of professionals charged with the task of looking into how the industry can provide patients with better outcomes using topical skin care products and techniques like chemical peels.
Titled 'Skin Care - Lotions and Potions for Wrinkles: What Really Works?,' the panel will perform research on current and developing techniques and then educate plastic surgeons on the best products and practices.
“Skin is a living organ and is constantly changing,” said panel moderator Renato Saltz, M.D. “For the best surgical results, it is important to think about the quality of the skin and what we can do to improve it, which may mean incorporating skincare techniques into our practice.”
Focusing on medicine that has been backed up by rigorous clinical trials, the panel hopes to separate mere trends from truly effective skin care products. Additionally, they hope to develop an algorithm to help treat sun damage for an array of complexions.
The ASAPS reported that an estimated 20 percent of cosmetic surgeons currently offer spa treatments or have partnerships with medical spas to supplement their offerings.
