Aesthetic medicine treatments such as Botox® and dermal filler can enhance one’s appearance. In addition, they can improve mood and increase self-confidence. Esthetician services such as facial and microdermabrasion further maximize skin quality. Optimizing internal health is also important to maximize a person’s skin vitality. Visiting your internist all of the above is an integrated approach to looking and feeling your best. William Berger, MD, owner of Northeast Medical Practice in Great Neck, offers this model of care.
“As an internist, I am trained in general medicine. I evaluate and treat diseases of the entire body, including the skin. I understand human anatomy, which is very important for injections to be safely administered. My board certifications in both internal medicine and obesity medicine also allow me to see how the body functions as an integrated whole,” said Dr. Berger.
The Role of Aesthetic Medicine in Weight Loss
“Internal processes can have direct manifestations in our external appearance. For example, losing weight can lead to decreased volume in the face. As an internist with specialized training in aesthetic medicine, I can address these issues in patients whom I assist with weight loss. For example, there is often a role for various types of dermal filler in such cases,” stated Dr. Berger.
Lifestyle and Skin Health
“Our diet and overall lifestyle also have a significant impact on the health of our skin. Proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, management of stress, and skin care are vital to keeping a youthful appearance. Esthetician services such as facial and microdermabrasion are also important for skin maintenance,” Dr. Berger further explained.
Appearance and Confidence
“A person’s self-esteem and mental health are also impacted by the way that they look and feel. In my practice, my goal is to optimize the health of my patients, inside and out,” concluded Dr. Berger.
