Expert Roundtable on Skin Care Integration After Aesthetic Procedures: Consensus Recommendations.

Currently, available technologies and procedures enable aesthetic dermatologists to provide their patients with beneficial treatment outcomes for a wide variety of skin conditions. These treatments range from laser resurfacing and radiofrequency procedures to chemical peels and microneedling. The concept of integrated skincare is based on the application of adjunct therapies before, during, or after cosmetic medical procedures to promote healing, minimize discomfort, shorten down-time, and enhance overall aesthetic outcomes. Numerous peer-reviewed studies have demonstrated the benefit of combining a variety of adjunct treatments with cosmetic procedures. The concurrent application of integrated skincare can improve these skin-related issues and provide patients with greater global outcomes. The primary objective of the following consensus roundtable was to discuss best practices for aesthetic providers with or without dermatological training when treating patients with aging skin complaints and review considerations for evaluating patients interested in cosmetic procedures with concomitant skin issues, such as skin dyschromias, lines, and wrinkles. A roundtable discussion was held by several notable experts in their field during a special addition to the Thriving in Diversity webinar series on Saturday, July 8, 2023. The discussion included four leading dermatologists, one oculoplastic surgeon, and one facial plastic surgeon who provided their clinical experience and consensus recommendations for applying integrated skincare in the aesthetic medical practice.
