Dr. Klein's Philosophy on Cosmetic and Anti-Aging Medicine
Prevention and Education
Dr. Klein is your greatest resource to determine what your next steps should be for your personal skin care goals.
Avoid getting misinformation from med spa workers who may mean well, but do not have the education, training and experience to recognize skin cancers, rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis and other problems that may be present, and could be treated.
We diagnose a fair number of melanomas and basal cell carcinomas during cosmetic consultation appointments.
Effective Safe Medical Treatments
There are many treatments to consider, it can be overwhelming. A dermatologist has the education and experience to guide you in the right direction, and away from fads or trends that could cause damage to your skin. We don't offer things because they are popular, they have to be beneficial.
Why We Don't Offer Some Treatments?
Dr. Klein makes a decision to offer a procedure based on her perceived value and safety. Radiofrequency treatments are thermal energy, which is bad for the skin and takes a toll on it, resulting in more aging and skin cancer with time and number of treatments done. PLEASE avoid all radiofrequency treatments that plastic surgeons and med spas are offering their patients right now.
Regarding Credit Cards vs. Credit Care
We don't use hard sales tactics, nor are the aesthetic providers paid a commission. We don't offer Care Credit for everyday things like Botox® and fillers, but we do offer it for CoolSculpting® because the results are long-lasting. Keep your priorities straight: food, shelter, health and family must come first.
Usually the % interest rate on normal credit cards is better than Credit Care's.
Skin Care Products
The most expensive skin care products are not necessarily the best ones. We love Epionce products, and they are a terrific value. We can also advise you on the sunscreen and hyaluronic acids you should be using. It is important to start using a quality sunscreen regularly early in life.
