Skin Spa Philosophy
Skin Spa is an evolution in the complete practice of cosmetic medicine. My training in plastic surgery began as a General Surgeon. This was necessary to learn the skills necessary to evaluate and safely treat patients requiring surgical interventions. The delicate technical expertise and evaluation of the aesthetic patient were an integral part of the extra years spent learning the art of plastic surgery. During the course of treating many patients over the last 15 years, I have come to realize that although we can produce wonderful cosmetic results with a surgical approach, some patients do not want or cannot take the time to heal from a surgery. Also, sometimes the surgery does not treat the whole problem. For instance, a facelift may rejuvenate the location of fat and amount of skin but does nothing for the actual condition of the skin. We, as plastic surgeons need to address all of these issues for our patients.
Over the last several years, there has been an influx of non-traditional aesthetic health care providers trying to offer cosmetic services. The training of an anesthesiologist, ob/gyn or general surgeon does not include plastic surgery. Because these services can be provided in a non-hospital setting i.e. a strip mall, there is no overseeing of quality. One cannot simply buy a laser and start treating patients. I thought I could do better. My patients deserve the finest offerings of ancillary cosmetic services like lasers and injectables done by fully trained and licensed R.N.s and cosmetologists all trained by me and under my direct supervision. This does not mean the use of my name as a Medical Director who practices in a completely different location. I also wanted it to be beautiful and relaxing like spas I have seen and been to in the finest hotels. And that is just what we have created. Skin Spa by Salzman is directly across the hall from our office in the Springs Medical Center. I directly control, oversee and frequently treat patients there. I have implemented all of the techniques, lasers, injectables and treatment protocols for our patients. Come see us soon and let our caring, competent and congenial staff pamper you.
