Today i spent my second day at Southern Dermatology with Dr. Boyse and shadowed her performing cosmetics procedures. I got to see some of the same things I saw my first day, like Botox or lip filler, but then I also got to experience two new procedures, threading and halo laser. Threading actually has nothing to do with your eyebrows in a Dermatologist’s clinic, but is a fantastic way to lift skin in places where it appears saggy. By placing metal threads under the skin (metal thread is wrapped around a needle and then used to insert the thread under the skin), collagen then grows around it, and causes the face lift. The Halo laser was a very innovative and new procedure as it utilized two lasers at two different wave lengths to get rid of brown spots on a patients face as well as smoothing out the skin and giving it a healthy glow. It was a long procedure, but it definitely worth it. Next week Monday and Tuesday will be my last two days shadowing Dr. Boyse and it’ll be sad because i have been able to meet so many people who have been so helpful, kind, and appreciative of my interest in dermatology. They kept it real. Can’t wait for next week though!
