Complications and their management in cosmetic dermatology.
Current aesthetic dermatology rejuvenation options offer minimally invasive, more affordable alternatives to traditional cosmetic surgery. Chemical peels and laser resurfacing can significantly improve the appearance of the skin and stimulate neocollagenesis; botulinum toxin reduces the appearance of dynamic facial lines; and dermal fillers can restore facial fullness. These nonsurgical procedures also carry potential risks. This article reviews potential complications of these procedures and best practices for clinical management to improve outcomes.
