Combining Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Services Offers Many Benefits to Patients, Says Dr. Brian K. Reedy

READING, Pa., May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Myriad treatments are aimed at reducing the telltale signs of aging and restoring a youthful appearance to the skin. That's why consulting with a practice that provides both plastic surgery and dermatology services gives patients the most comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation and ongoing skin care, says Dr. Brian Reedy of Berks Plastic Surgery, a leading Pennsylvania cosmetic surgery practice.

"The skin is the largest organ in the body and its condition is essential to overall health," says Dr. Reedy. "A comprehensive cosmetic practice gives patients the benefit of a staff with a range of specializations, providing them with a wide array of options to address any skin-related concern."

Plastic surgeons have a deep understanding of facial structure and are trained to determine the best course of treatment for patients seeking more youthful looking skin. In many cases, a complete rejuvenation of the face often involves a combination of surgical and dermatological approaches. Sagging tissues can be addressed with surgery while the surface of the skin is treated through noninvasive therapies. For example, a facelift repositions the tissues of the face into a more youthful position, while a dermatological approach such a chemical peel encourages the regeneration of healthy new skin, erasing many telltale signs of aging. Treatments such as microdermabrasion and chemical peels can address dermatological concerns such as acne scarring, but also yield the cosmetic benefit of smoother, younger-looking skin.

There's a strong link between skin care and its appearance, says Reedy. Dermatology specialists are not only trained to address skin conditions such as acne, psoriasis, and skin cancer, but can also be a valuable resource for ongoing skin care. They can advise patients about healthy lifestyle choices that can improve skin condition and prevent premature aging of the skin. The aesthetic professionals at Berks Plastic Surgery can match a patient's particular skin type and condition to the appropriate treatment or product, whether related to plastic surgery or dermatology. The complete skin care options available from the two disciplines cover a vast range of skin-related concerns.

A practice that combines plastic surgery and dermatology services in one convenient setting gives the patient the best of both worlds, says Dr. Reedy. A holistic approach to skin care ultimately benefits all patients, whether they seek cosmetic enhancement or dermatological improvement.
