- Primary CareMany patients wonder who should be offering these services and what the standard training might be. The answer is that aesthetic medicine is not an area for which formal residency training exists. Aesthetic services are offered by practitioners from diverse backgrounds. The practitioners who own spas and do this full time are usually former primary care physicians. Plastic surgeons and dermatologists offer Botox and fillers as an adjunctive treatment because it is a natural extension of the services they offer, but they do not have any more specialized training in this area than those of us from other areas of medicine. Most of us have learned this specialty at medical seminars or by apprenticeship to other physicians already practicing these techniques. Those of us with an affinity for art have expanded our practice from merely correcting the signs of aging to optimizing the appearance of the unique faces of our patients.
- Internal MedicineOne of my internal medicine patients commented that she would not receive aesthetic treatment from a physician other than me because I would never do something I was not good at. I will admit that I am a perfectionist. As such, I proceed slowly and carefully because an outstanding result means everything to me. Therefore, I will not allow any one to rush me, but I do promise that each patient will get the best work and advice I can provide.

- Brow LiftAlso called a non-surgical brow lift, this involves the precise placement of Botox® to give an arch to a flat eyebrow or raise a drooping brow. It can lower the inner or lift the outer end of the eyebrow to make the eyes look larger and more alert. A filler, such as Juvederm®, can be used to further lift a sagging brow making the eyes appear wider.
- Plastic SurgeryDo you want to look better without losing the unique characteristics that make you recognizable? The improvements created by aesthetic treatment are so subtle that your face looks fresher and younger while the reason for the improvement is a mystery. Patients are sometimes reluctant to embark on aesthetic treatment because they fear being left with the harsh, tightly stretched skin seen on some Hollywood personalities. However, that outcome can only be caused by plastic surgery and not by aesthetic treatment.

- Skin CareThe important thing to understand is that lasers, peels, facials and daily skin care all have a role in making skin healthy and beautiful. The laser treatments are the most powerful and give the quickest results so they are often used for more severe conditions or when patients have an event to prepare for in the very near future. Peels and facials offer an intermediate degree of speed and improvement; they also offer an opportunity to interact regularly with an aesthetician or physician who can monitor your progress and guide your treatment. Daily skin care is essential to beautiful skin both now and in the future. Dr. Overman offers multiple treatment options for some common skin conditions. A free consultation can help you choose which option(s) might be best for you.
