Z Aesthetic Dermatology & Atlas Dermatology to Share Office Space

Baton Rouge, Louisiana (PRWEB) May 21, 2013

Dermatology is a specialty that has certainly changed over the last 20 years. Once a specialty of diagnosing mystery rashes and removing unwanted growths, the field has blossomed into the cosmetic treatment of the baby boomers and then some. With this expansion, dermatologists have had the choice to focus their expertise or attempt the challenge of providing both. The husband and wife team of Dr. Trent Massengale and Dr. Ann Zedlitz offer their patients the best of both worlds.

Dr. Massengale first met his wife in medical school. He became interested in dermatology after a lecture on how to diagnose medical problems such as diabetes by the changes in the patient's skin. His love of riddles and photography fit the specialty perfectly with the challenging cases and their visual nature. Upon finishing his residency, he assumed the position of site director for the LSU dermatology teaching program where he is a clinical professor. Besides diagnosing and treating various rashes, the surgical removal of benign and malignant skin lesions is another part of his specialty that he enjoys. You use knowledge that you learned not only in medicine but physics, geometry, and sculpture.

Dr. Zedlitz has a different day at the office. Although also a board certified dermatologist, she spends her day helping her patients look and feel their best by offering the latest in cosmetic dermatology. Using her knowledge of anatomy and the aging process, she develops personalized game plans for patients to reverse the changes of father time and bring back their healthy skin. She has a vast knowledge of skin care products and has developed her own custom line. She offers to her patients a full complement of procedures designed to help from the inside to out including: botox and filler injections, skin tightening procedures, fat reduction with coolsculpting, chemical peels, and her favorite, lasers. She currently oversees the laser clinic for the LSU dermatology training program. I love to teach residents. I feel that education is vital to ensure the safe delivery of these treatments. With the lax laws in our state on who can perform these procedures, I have to make sure that they are the best.

Dr. Ann Zedlitz and Dr. Massengale will be sharing office space at Dr. Massengale's location for his new private practice, Atlas Dermatology. They will share office space in both Baton Rouge and Prairieville. With the medical and surgical aspects of his practice and the cosmetic services of his wifes practice, Z Aesthetic Dermatology, they will offer patients the best of both worlds.

Although they may seem to be opposite practices, they do share common ground when it comes to patient care. After practicing medicine for longer than a decade, you come to value the real treasure of being a physician which are the relationships that you form with your patients, Dr Zedlitz explained. Focused on customer service and exceeding expectations, they feel that the greatest achievement is for a patient to recommend a friend or family member to their practice. That is when you know you have done your job well.

Terrasse Aesthetic Surgery Turns to Palomar for New Aesthetic System

Lake Forest, IL (PRWEB) May 28, 2013

Doctor Anthony Terrasse, founder of Terrasse Aesthetic Surgery and Erase MediSpa, has been motivated by the desire to achieve high patient satisfaction since opening his practice twenty years ago and since then he has quietly crafted one of the premier practices along Chicagos North Shore. Inspired by beauty and form, Dr. Terrasse is recognized both locally and nationally and has repeatedly been named a top plastic surgeon in numerous outlets, including U.S. News & World Report.

His practice uses the most advanced technology available in the marketplace for aesthetic surgery to perform procedures such as skin rejuvenation and tightening to hair removal and this month Terrasse Aesthetic Surgery turned to Palomar Medical Technologies, a global leader in laser- and light-based systems for aesthetic treatments, based in Burlington, MA, for its laser tools. The practice now uses the Palomar Icon Aesthetic System and its Emerge Fractional Laser for skin rejuvenation, skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, photofacials and hair removal.

Palomars laser tool hands down offers the most advanced, researched-based technology in the field of aesthetic surgery, said Dr. Terrasse. By using Palomars system, I am able to address a full spectrum of my patients' aesthetic needs.

When asked the best advice for an individual considering a laser treatment, Dr. Terrasse advises consumers to seek out a certified plastic surgeon with experience in aesthetic plastic surgery as well as advanced skin care as opposed to an individual who might offer limited services and whose medical training and interests lie in a different area of medicine.

When he is not in the office taking care of patients, Dr. Terrasse can be found giving lectures on aesthetic surgery and skin care at womens seminars as well as at hospital and community-based events.
